Should multiple cancellations occur within the season, Gridiron shall have the option to create double headers and modify the season schedule to accommodate make-up games. Since there are certain situations beyond Gridiron’s control, Gridiron will do its very best but is not obligated to make up games that are canceled, due to several factors that are out of Gridiron’s control the reschedules are not always possible.

Furthermore, Gridiron does not target its products and services to children under these ages nor do we knowingly communicate with children under 13. When we work with teams and groups with children under 13, the Parents/Guardians of the children are responsible for entering and managing their child’s information.

If the Parent/Guardian knowingly and purposefully submit false registration information about the Child, the Child will be removed from the Gridiron program with absolutely no refund or credit being provided. Gridiron may request and you agree to provide proof of school, grade, or age. Failure to provide requested proof of school, grade, or age, may also result in the Child’s removal from this program with no refund at Gridiron’s sole discretion.

GRIDIRON PARENTAL RULES AND GUIDELINES

Gridiron seeks to instill positive character-building traits in Children through the demonstration of good sportsmanship, respect for others, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship. We ask that Parents/Guardians and their guests attending Gridiron sponsored events help us by reflecting these character traits at games.
