Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Medical Authorization

Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk

I, the parent or legal guardian of the participant (or participant if 18 years of age or older), acknowledge that participation in youth baseball and softball activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, death, illness, and damage to or loss of personal property. These risks may arise from, but are not limited to, physical contact with other participants, use of equipment, weather conditions, field conditions, transportation, and the actions or inactions of participants, coaches, volunteers, officials, or spectators.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, associated with participation in the program.

Waiver and Release of Liability

In consideration for being permitted to participate in activities organized or sponsored by the New Holstein Baseball/Softball Association, I hereby waive, release, and discharge the New Holstein Baseball/Softball Association, the City of New Holstein, and each of their respective officers, directors, board members, organizers, coaches, volunteers, officials, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or related to the participant’s participation in the program.

This release includes, but is not limited to, claims arising from ordinary negligence of the Released Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur as a result of the participant’s participation in the program, including claims brought by or on behalf of the participant.

Medical Authorization

I authorize representatives of the New Holstein Baseball/Softball Association to obtain emergency medical treatment for the participant in the event of injury or illness. I understand that reasonable efforts will be made to contact me prior to such treatment, but I consent to treatment if I cannot be reached in a timely manner. I accept full financial responsibility for any medical expenses incurred.

Insurance Acknowledgment

I understand that the New Holstein Baseball/Softball Association does not provide primary medical insurance coverage for participants, and that it is my responsibility to provide adequate health and accident insurance for the participant.

Severability and Governing Law

I understand that if any portion of this waiver is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

Acknowledgment of Understanding

I have read this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Medical Authorization in its entirety. I understand its terms and sign it freely and voluntarily, intending it to be a complete and unconditional release of liability to the fullest extent allowed by law.
