I, the undersigned, as the parent or legal guardian of the minor child named below, do hereby give my full consent and approval for my child to try out and participate as a member of the Tennessee Nighthawks girl’s fastpitch softball team. I understand that there are certain risks of damages and injuries, including death, inherent in the practice and play of softball, as well as in traveling in other related activities incidental to my child’s participation, and I am willing to assume these risks on behalf of my child. These risks include, but are not limited to, those hazards associated with weather conditions, travel, playing conditions, equipment, and other participants.
I understand that sliding into base is dangerous to my child and to other players and may result in serious injury or death. I understand that the very nature of the game of softball is hazardous and risky, including, but not limited to, the acts of throwing, fielding, and catching of the ball, the swinging of the bat, running, jumping, stretching, sliding, diving, and collisions with other players and with stationary objects, all of which can cause serious injury or death to my child and to other players.
Further, I agree that in consideration for the right to allow my child to try out and participate as a member of the Tennessee Nighthawks and in consideration for permission to play on the fields arranged for by the team: 1.On behalf of my child and myself, I do voluntarily elect to accept and solely assume all risks of injury incurred or suffered by my child (a) while practicing or playing as a member of the team, (b) while serving in a non-playing capacity as a team member during practice or play by other teams or by other players on my child’s team, and (c) while on or upon the premises of any and all of the fields arranged for by the Tennessee Nighthawks for practice or play. 2.In addition to giving my full consent for my child’s participation, I do hereby release, discharge and agree not to sue the Tennessee Nighthawks, coaches, the owner operator of any field the team practices on, or their owners, officers, agents, or employees for any claim, damages, costs including attorney fees, or cause of action which I have or may in the future as a result of injuries or damages sustained or incurred by my child from whatever cause. I hereby certify that my child is fully capable of participating in the designated sport and that my child is healthy and has no physical or mental disabilities or infirmities that would restrict full participation in these activities, except as made known to coaches of the team. I further agree on behalf of myself and my child listed below, that I shall hold harmless and fully indemnify the parties hereby released from any and all claims, damages, costs including attorney fees, and causes of action which may arise from any cause of action made by me or by, through or on behalf of my child, even if the damages, injuries or death are caused in whole or in part by any of the persons or entities hereby released.
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND THAT I UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THEM.
