Baseball League / Summer Baseball League (referred below as

WAIVER,
CONSENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY:
I declare that all of information given by me in
this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge, and I
understand that any misrepresentation or omission may be caused for suspension
or dismissal from my volunteer status with my team and the ABL.
DISCLAIMER,
ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER: For myself
and on behalf of my heirs, assigns and next of kin, I acknowledge that
participation in the sport involves travel, participation on adverse field
conditions, contact with considerable force and risk of severe, permanent
injury including bruises, scrapes, strained, sprained or torn muscles, tendon
or ligament, broken bone, dislocation of joint, concussion, brain damage, nerve
and spinal cord injury, paralysis and death. For myself, and on
behalf of my heirs, assigns and next of kin, I willingly and voluntarily accept
and assume all such risks of participation. I shall exclusively be
responsible for any and all liability. The ABL shall share no
responsibility.
I
further acknowledge that the “ABL” is primarily administered by
volunteers rather than paid professionals.
In
consideration of accepting the registration and permitting my
child’s participation in this baseball program for myself and on behalf of my
heirs, assigns and next of kin, I hereby release, discharge and agree to hold
harmless the ABL, its employees, volunteers, officials, sponsors and other
representatives and any and all owners, lessors, lessees or other persons or
entities allowing, permitting or authorizing the use of facilities by the ABL
and the agents, employees, officers and directors of said persons or entities
from any and all claims, demands, costs, expenses and compensation arising out
of or in any way related to any injury or other damage that may
result to me or member of my family or my household or individuals I invite for
whom I am otherwise responsible while participating in or present at any ABL
sponsored event, including any physical or other injury caused by the
negligence of any person or entity described above.
All
teams are independent and all persons entering the ball park
(including fans and spectators) will assume all risk and danger incidental to
the game of baseball whether occurring prior to, during or subsequent to the
actual playing of the game,
including specifically (but not exclusively) the danger of being injured by
thrown bats and thrown or batted balls. The players and fans agree
the participating team’s players and team officials are not liable for injuries
resulting from such causes.
All
players, fans and I release, discharge and agree not to take
legal action against the ABL, Herman Bomback or owner on which baseball is/was
practiced or played by my son/daughter. I further agree that I shall
hold harmless and fully indemnify the ABL, it’s officers, employees, or any
person connected with the team, its agents, coaches or managers. I
understand that no insurance is provided by the ABL. All teams are
responsible for providing their own insurance policy covering medical and/or
liability. This information supersedes previous insurance information.
I understand and acknowledge
that the very nature of baseball has hazards that can cause serious injury
and/or death. I assume all risks of injury and damage incident to my
participation in ABL.
In consideration of the
privilege to participate in the ABL program, hereby release, discharge,
relinquish, agree not to take legal action against, hold harmless, and
indemnify The Autumn Baseball League, its officers, agents, representatives,
employees and officials, ABL sponsors, supervisors, participants, players,
agents, coaches, managers and persons transporting me to and from ABL
activities, from any claims, demand, actions, and cause of action of any sort,
arising out of my participation in the ABL program, including, but not limited
to, any injury or death sustained in connection with my participation in the
ABL program, including but not limited to travel to and from program related
activities, whether the result of negligence or for any other cause.
In consideration of my child’s
participation in the activities with his/her team and Autumn Baseball League, I
hereby declare him/her medically able to participate in the activities of the
Autumn Baseball League. I understand that there are risks and
agree to familiarize myself with all equipment, facilities, rules and physical
demands related to the activities of the program. On behalf of myself, my
heirs, executors and administrators, I agree to release and discharge his/her
team, the Autumn Baseball League, its officers, managers, coaches and sponsors
of, and from any and all liability for injury to my child or guardian resulting
from, or in any way connected with his or her participation in any of the
activities his baseball team and the Autumn Baseball League.
