Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: March 11, 2026


Legal Entity: CLM Basketball LLC (“CLM Basketball,” “we,” “our,” or “us”)
Applies To: All services, programs, events, training, clinics, memberships, online content, and any other offering (collectively, the “Services”).

​

Important: Please read these Terms carefully. By registering for, paying for, or participating in any CLM Basketball Services, or by using our website or content, you (and if applicable, your parent/guardian) agree to these Terms & Conditions, including the Assumption of Risk & Waiver, Code of Conduct, Payment & Refunds, and Media Release sections below.

Eligibility & Registration

  • Minors: If the participant is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must complete registration and consent to these Terms.

  • Accuracy: You agree to provide accurate, current information (e.g., contact details, medical information, emergency contacts).

  • Documentation: We may require proof of age/identity or additional forms (e.g., medical clearance) depending on the program.

Health, Safety & Participation

  • Medical Clearance: You represent that the participant is in good health and able to safely participate in athletic activity. If unsure, consult a physician and inform us of any conditions (e.g., asthma, allergies, prior injuries).

  • Injury/Illness Removal: We may remove or restrict participation if a participant appears ill, injured, or unsafe to continue.

  • Equipment & Attire: Proper footwear and attire are required. You are responsible for any personal equipment you bring.

  • Concussion/Athletics Policies: You agree to follow coach instructions and applicable safety protocols, including removal-from-play guidance when a head injury is suspected.

Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability

Sports carry inherent risks. By participating, you (and the parent/guardian, if applicable) voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, property damage, or other loss, including but not limited to slips/falls, collisions, overexertion, sprains/strains, heat-related illness, and unforeseeable incidents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and hold harmless CLM Basketball LLC, its owners, coaches, contractors, staff, and venue partners from any claims arising from participation, except to the extent caused by CLM Basketball’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Emergency Care Authorization: You authorize CLM Basketball to obtain emergency medical care if reasonably necessary and agree to be responsible for related costs.

Code of Conduct

We foster a positive, inclusive environment. All participants, parents/guardians, and spectators agree to:

  • Show respect to coaches, staff, officials, and other participants.

  • Refrain from harassment, bullying, discriminatory language, or unsporting conduct.

  • Follow instructions, safety rules, and facility policies.

  • Abstain from tobacco, vaping, alcohol, drugs, and weapons at programs and facilities.

Violations may result in removal without refund.

Scheduling, Cancellations & Weather

  • Coach/Facility Changes: We may change locations, coaches, dates, or times as needed.

  • Weather & Force Majeure: Sessions may be postponed or modified due to weather, facility closures, or events beyond our control. We will make reasonable efforts to reschedule or provide a credit.

  • Your Cancellations/No‑Shows: See Refunds & Credits below.

Payments, Refunds & Credits

  • Payment Due: Payment is due at registration unless otherwise stated.

  • Late/Failed Payments: We may suspend participation for unpaid balances. You agree to pay reasonable collection costs and fees if applicable.

  • Refund Policy (CLM Standard): No refunds after 24 hours from the time of purchase/registration.

  • Before 24 Hours: If you notify us within 24 hours of purchase, we may process a refund minus any non‑recoverable transaction fees.

  • Credits/Substitutions: At our discretion, we may offer a credit for future sessions or allow a participant substitution before a program begins. Credits are non‑transferable unless approved.

  • Packages & Memberships: Sessions in a package must be used within the stated term. Unused sessions expire; no cash value.

  • Promotions: Discounts, scholarships, and promotions cannot be combined unless expressly stated.

If you have an existing written agreement that states otherwise that agreement controls.

Attendance & Make-Ups

  • Participant Absences: Missed sessions are not guaranteed make‑ups. We will attempt reasonable accommodations when available (space/coach permitting), but make‑ups are not owed.

  • Coach Cancellations: If CLM cancels a session and cannot reasonably reschedule, we will issue a credit.

  • Facilities & Third Parties: We may use third‑party gyms or facilities with their own rules. You agree to comply with all posted venue rules. CLM Basketball is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.

  • Media Release: Unless you opt out in writing before a session starts, you grant CLM Basketball a worldwide, royalty‑free license to use participant’s name, image, voice, and likeness in photos/video for promotional, educational, and social content in any media.

  • Opt‑Out: Email us before participation if you do not consent; we will do our best to honor requests in group settings.

Intellectual Property and Communication & SMS Consent

All CLM content (training plans, drills, curriculum, logos, branding including “CLM Chance | Own the Odds,” videos, downloads, and website content) is owned by CLM Basketball or its licensors. You may not copy, distribute, record, publish, or create derivative works without written permission. By providing your contact information, you agree to receive transactional messages (e.g., schedule updates, weather alerts).

  • Marketing Consent: If you separately opt in, you may receive marketing emails/SMS. You can opt out at any time (e.g., “STOP” for SMS). Message/data rates may apply.

Privacy Summary and ADA & Accessibility 

We collect and use personal information to provide and improve Services (e.g., registration, scheduling, safety, billing, communications). We share data with service providers (e.g., payment processors, scheduling tools) as needed. We do not sell personal information.

  • For details, see our Privacy Policy. If you don’t have one yet, I can draft one that aligns with youth-program best practices and applicable US state laws.

We welcome athletes of all abilities and will provide reasonable accommodations where feasible. Please contact us in advance to discuss specific needs. See our Accessibility Statement for more detail.

Disclaimers and Indemnification

  • No Guarantee of Outcomes: We do not guarantee skill development, playing time, recruiting results, or scholarships.

  • Fitness & Nutrition Content: Any training or nutrition guidance is educational only and not medical advice. Always consult a qualified professional.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CLM Basketball from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your (or your child’s) violation of these Terms or misuse of the Services, to the extent permitted by law.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

  • Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

  • Good‑Faith Resolution: Parties will first attempt to resolve disputes informally within 30 days.

  • Arbitration (Optional Clause—let me know if you want this): Except for claims suitable for small claims court or injunctive relief, disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. No class actions. Venue: St. Clair County, Illinois (or nearest available arbitration forum). Each party bears its own fees unless the arbitrator awards otherwise.

Changes to Programs & Terms

We may modify programs, schedules, pricing, or these Terms at any time. Updates take effect upon posting to our website or when communicated to you. Continued participation after notice constitutes acceptance.
