About SkillFit
SkillFit is MultiMatch’s coach/trainer-led movement and fitness program for children aged 2–17.
The program combines age-appropriate movement games, sport-supported skills, strength, balance, coordination, agility, body control, fitness, decision-making and teamwork. Sessions may also include interactive technology and equipment such as projection games, reaction lights, balls, mats and agility equipment.
SkillFit is designed to help children explore movement, build confidence and develop a broad foundation for active participation. Coaches use progressive activities and adapt challenges to suit each child’s age, experience, confidence and disclosed needs.
SkillFit is not medical treatment, physiotherapy, diagnosis or a therapy program. Participation does not guarantee a particular sporting, fitness or health outcome.
Acknowledgement of Risks
I acknowledge that participation in SkillFit involves inherent risks associated with physical activity, movement, sport-supported games and interactive equipment.
These risks may include, but are not limited to:
-
slips, trips, falls and loss of balance;
-
awkward landings or changes of direction;
-
collisions with equipment, walls, screens, targets, netting, mats, floors or other participants;
-
being struck by or mishandling balls, props or other equipment;
-
running, jumping, crawling, balancing, throwing, catching, kicking, pushing, pulling or lifting;
-
muscle soreness, sprains, strains, bruising, fractures, concussion or other head injuries;

-
sensory or emotional effects associated with noise, lighting, screens, competition, frustration or a busy environment;

-
serious injury or illness in rare circumstances.
I understand that MultiMatch takes reasonable steps to provide a safe environment, including age-appropriate activities, coach supervision, safety instructions, equipment checks, suitable progressions, activity modifications and opportunities for rest and hydration.
I understand that it is not possible to eliminate every risk associated with physical activity.
I acknowledge these risks and voluntarily accept them on behalf of my child.
Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian law.

-
activities may be modified or stopped if equipment or technology is not operating safely; and
-
interactive technology supports the coaching experience but does not replace supervision or instruction.
