ATHLETIC WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

There are certain inherent risks associated with participating in sports and/or athletic training that cannot be eliminated.

These risks include, but are certainly not limited to: (1) minor injuries such as scratches, cuts, bruises and strains; and (2)

major injuries such as injuries to the eyes, infection, loss of sight, joint injuries, back injuries, heart attacks, concussions,

paralysis and even death. Also included in these risks are the same or similar injuries that might result from using training

equipment, actual use of a field or training facilities, the acts of others or from the unavailability of emergency staff or

emergency medical care (hereinafter we shall define all of these risks and potential injuries as “Risks”). All of these Risks will

be present in the activities that your minor will be participating in.


HAVING READ THIS PARAGRAPH and having an appreciation for and an UNDERSTANDING OF THESE RISKS, you hereby affirm that

your minor’s participation in these activities is voluntary and that you agree on behalf or yourself or your minor to

all of the following:

1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK I, on behalf of my minor, ASSUME ALL OF THE RISKS THAT MAY OR CAN ARISE

OUT OF PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ATHLETIC ACTIVITY ITSELF, USE

OF THE EQUIPMENT, FIELD OR FACILITIES, THE ACTS OF OTHERS OR THE UNAVAILABILITY OF EMERGENCY CARE, as

well as those Risks described in the preceding paragraph.

2. INDEMNITY/HOLD HARMLESS I, on behalf of my minor and/or our heirs, personal representatives and/or

assigns, also agree to indemnify and hold ABA, as well as their affiliates, parents, members, employees, independent contractors,

officers, directors, and agents, or any other person or entity associated in any way with the ownership, operation or affiliation with

recreational facilities, harmless from any and all claims, causes of actions, lawsuits, arbitrations or proceedings as well as

from any expenses, judgments, costs, fees, damages, expenses and/or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees incurred in defending

or prosecuting any such claims brought against ABA as the result of my or my minor’s participation in the Activities.

I hereby allow ABA to use my or my minor’s image or likeness without current or future compensation for

marketing purposes related to ABA.

3. RELEASE/WAIVER In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Activities, I, on behalf of my

minor and/or our heirs, personal representatives and assigns HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE ABA

from any and all liability associated with or related to my or my minor’s participation in the Activities and agree NOT TO SUE

ABA for any reason resulting from or associated with my minor’s participation in the Activities. This waiver

and release is intended to include all claims for injuries, accidents, illnesses, or property loss, whether known or unknown or

anticipated or unanticipated, which are in any way related to or associated with the Activities.

4. NO INSURANCE I, on behalf of my minor, acknowledge that ABA does not carry insurance on

behalf of myself or my minor.

5. LEGAL RIGHTS I, on behalf of my minor, understand and acknowledge that I/we are surrendering valuable

legal rights in this agreement.

6. SEVERABILITY I, on behalf of my minor, understand and expressly agree that this agreement is intended to

be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law of the State for which it is used and that if any portion of this agreement is

held invalid, it is agreed that the balance of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect and that whatever portion is

held invalid shall be interpreted and construed to afford as much protection to ABA as permitted by the applicable

law.
