If accepted as an ABL volunteer, I hereby agree
to abide by the ABL bylaws, rules, regulations, policies and philosophies, and all decisions and directions of the Board of
Directors and understand that I may be removed as an ABL volunteer at any time with or without cause. Because
the team I represent is independent, the team’s organization shall be well informed of any improprieties and provided
with any or all such evidence used against me. Any volunteer subject to removal shall have an opportunity to present
his/her case before the ABL’s Board of Directors as well as the independent’s own governing body.

The players and fans agree the participating team’s players and team officials are not liable for injuries resulting
from such causes.

agents, or anyone connected to the League’s staff. For liability coverage and medical coverage, I
understand that I am responsible for acquiring the insurance policies myself and the Autumn Baseball is not in any way responsible
for the above.
I will convey the information above to all players, player’s parents, fans,
and sponsors and all involved with my independent team and shall have all players’ parents acknowledge and sign a liability
acknowledgement form.

I acknowledge that I had the opportunity, before
signing the Waiver and Release, to ask questions about, discuss, and negotiate any of the terms set forth in the Waiver and
Release.
I acknowledge and understand the contagious nature of COVID-19, and I voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren),
my players, my players’ parents, my coaches and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating in ABL
activities, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, disability, or death.
I acknowledge
and understand that I am agreeing to the terms set forth in the Waiver and Release, as consideration for my child(ren), my
players and my coaching staff being permitted to participate in ABL activities.
I acknowledge and understand that the
risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while participating in the ABL activities may result from the actions,
omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, ABL employees, volunteers, and all of ABL’s
program participants and their families. I acknowledge and understand that it is impossible to eliminate the risk that my
child(ren), my players, my coaches and my family, become exposed to and infected by COVID-19 when participating in ABL activities.
