Physical Activity Disclaimer

Assumption of risk

Baton twirling involves tosses, spins, jumps, and a metal implement moving at speed. It carries an inherent risk of injury including bruises, strains, sprains, fractures, dental and eye injury. By using our instruction you accept those risks for yourself and for any minor you supervise.

Not medical advice

Nothing on this site is medical advice. Talk to a physician before you or your child begin any new physical activity, especially after an injury, illness, surgery, or during pregnancy. Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you feel pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

Train safely

• Warm up and stretch before every session.
• Twirl in an open space, clear of people, pets, ceilings, lights, and windows — outdoors on grass is ideal while learning tosses.
• Use a baton sized correctly for the twirler and check the tips and shaft for damage before each session.
• Learn skills in order; don't attempt advanced tosses or aerials before the prerequisites are solid.
• Progress gradually and rest when tired — most injuries happen at the end of a long session.

Supervision of minors

Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times while twirling, including while following along with any video on this site. A parent or guardian is responsible for judging whether a skill is appropriate for their child.

No guarantee of results

Skill development varies from person to person. We make no promise of any particular ability, competitive placement, team selection, or outcome.

Limitation of liability
