(“KESG”) has created Hustle Up Elite 150 Camp (the “Event”) and KESG has agreed, subject to the undersigned’s agreement and signature to the foregoing, to permit the undersigned’s child and/or ward to participate in games, sports competitions including, but not limited to basketball and other activities in connection with the Event (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Event Activities”). KESG, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, volunteers, employees, vendors, medical personnel, and other participating Event organizers, any Event sponsors, advertisers, and owners and lessors of premises on which the Event’s activities take place are hereby collectively referred to as the “Event Group.” By signing this Acknowledgment and Release, the undersigned warrants, represents, covenants, acknowledges and agrees as follows:
Only the undersigned and the undersigned’s child and/or ward (the “Participant”) are permitted to participate in the Event Activities. Access to the Event Activities by the Participant and undersigned shall at all times be in strict compliance with any and all rules and regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association; the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations; the state athletic association from which my child’s school is a member, and the Event Group, now or hereinafter in effect. The undersigned and the Participant acknowledge that the Event Group shall be permitted to deny access to the undersigned and the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever. I understand that the Event Group may, in its sole discretion, dismiss any Event Participant for inappropriate, disrespectful, or dangerous behavior at any time. In this event, I understand that I will not receive a refund of Event fees for unattended days. If Participant breaks or damages any property as a result of their direct or indirect behavior, I hereby agree to reimburse Event Group for its repair or replacement.
The undersigned and the Participant acknowledge that participation in the Event Activities involves certain inherent risks and that during the Event, certain dangers may occur. These risks and dangers may be caused by the Participant’s own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others attending the Event, participation in the Event Activities, the condition in which the Event Activities take place, or the negligence of the Event Group. The undersigned represents and warrants that the Participant: (a) is in good physical shape and does not suffer from any physical disability or medical condition which would put the Participant at risk by participating in the Event Activities; (b) has not been advised by a physician not to participate in the Event Activities or not to perform the activity for which the Event Activities were designed; and (c) in the event such a physical disability or medical condition should occur, the Participant will immediately cease using and or participating in the Event Activities during the period in which such disability or condition shall continue to occur. Even if the Participant is in good physical shape, there is the possibility of accidental or other physical injury resulting from utilization of and participation in the Event Activities. Participating in a basketball camp specifically is a dangerous activity and involves the risk of injury, including but not limited to, brain damage, cardiac arrest, serious injury to internal organs and to bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and other serious injury or impairment to other aspects of the Participant’s general health and well-being as well as the potentially high cost of medical care and the potential for future impairment to the Participant. The undersigned and the Participant fully understand these risks and agree that if the Participant participates in the Event Activities, it will be at the Participant’s own risk.
The Event Group will provide limited instructions or other guidance related to the utilization of the equipment or property in connection with the Event Activities. The undersigned and the Participant covenant and agree for himself/herself and the Participant to use only the equipment or property that the undersigned and Participant fully understand how to safely utilize and operate. The undersigned is and shall at all times be responsible for the Participant in the Event Activities.
In the event of illness, injury, and/or accident involving the Participant, I authorize any Event Group employee to act on my behalf and that any medical care provided is furnished on a Good Samaritan basis. They may approve any and all non-emergency or emergency treatment and are authorized to sign any and all medical release or required form(s) on my behalf. In the event of an emergency, I understand that I will be notified of the situation as soon as practicable. I agree to pay any present or future expenses incurred in the medical treatment of Participant as a result of any injury sustained as a result of participating in the Event Activities, including, but not limited to all transportation costs to and from a medical facility, and, if necessary, transportation to my home or medical facility of choice.
In consideration of the undersigned and the Participant’s participation at the Event and without any further consideration from the Event Group, I hereby grant permission to the Event Group to utilize my appearance, performance or voice in any and all manner and media throughout the world for the purpose of promotion, reporting or publication. The Event Group may use my/my children’s name, likeness, voice and biographical material in connection with publication, promotion, exhibition and distribution of such material. I understand that no royalty, fee or any other compensation of any kind shall become payable to me by reason of such release and use of any photograph.
