Lancaster Youth Baseball Association Select Tryout Registration

Thank you for your interest in playing for the Lancaster Youth Baseball Association Select team.

Please understand that this is a competitive baseball program. Players are expected to demonstrate commitment, effort, coachability, and a team-first attitude. The level of competition and expectations are significantly higher than those of recreational baseball. Our mission is to develop fundamentally sound baseball players, foster discipline, accountability, and teamwork, and prepare athletes to compete successfully at the middle school and high school levels. We are equally committed to helping our players become respectful, responsible, and confident individuals who represent themselves, their families, and their team with character both on and off the field.

By signing up below, I/we understand and agree that:

• There is a significant time commitment to the team and your teammates.

• This is not a recreational program, and there is no minimum playing time requirement.

• Practices and games are expected to be attended. Missing practices or games may affect playing time and team responsibilities.

• Parents and players are expected to communicate schedule conflicts, absences, injuries, and other issues to the coaching staff as soon as possible.

• Baseball comes after school-related activities (band, science fairs, academic events, etc.), major religious functions, and major family events (vacations, family reunions, weddings, etc.), provided there is prior communication with the head coach.

• Coaches will hold offseason practices. Every effort should be made to attend to avoid falling behind in player development and team preparation.

• Playing time, positions, batting order, and game responsibilities are determined by the coaching staff and are based on performance, effort, attendance, attitude, coachability, and the needs of the team.

• Parents, players, and family members are expected to demonstrate good sportsmanship and treat coaches, umpires, opponents, teammates, and spectators with respect at all times.

• I/we understand that participation in youth sports involves inherent risks. I/we assume all risks and hazards incidental to participation, including transportation to and from team activities, and do hereby waive, release, indemnify, and agree to hold harmless the Lancaster Youth Baseball Association, its coaches, volunteers, participants, and any persons transporting my/our child from claims arising from participation, except where prohibited by law.

• Submitting this form and/or participating in tryouts does not guarantee a roster spot. Players will be evaluated throughout the tryout process, and roster decisions will be made at the sole discretion of the coaching staff.

• Roster spots are earned based on a player's ability, attitude, effort, coachability, commitment, and the overall needs of the team.

For and in consideration of my child being permitted to participate in Lancaster Youth Baseball Association activities, I hereby voluntarily release, discharge, waive, and relinquish any and all claims or actions for damages for personal injury, permanent disability, death, or property damage which I or my child may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me or my child, as a result of participation in youth baseball activities, including while participating in practices, games, events, or while present at any facility where activities are being held.

This release is intended to discharge, in advance, Lancaster Youth Baseball Association, its coaches, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents, as well as the owners, operators, and maintainers of any facilities used for practices, games, clinics, or other baseball-related activities, from any and all liability arising out of or connected in any way with participation in the program, even if such liability arises out of negligence or carelessness on the part of Lancaster Youth Baseball Association or its representatives.

I further understand that serious accidents occasionally occur during youth baseball activities, and that participants may sustain serious personal injury, disability, death, or property damage as a result. Knowing these risks, I voluntarily choose to allow my child to participate and hereby agree to assume all such risks and to release and hold harmless Lancaster Youth Baseball Association, its coaches, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents, as well as any facility owners or operators used by the program, who might otherwise be liable for damages.

I further understand and agree that this release, discharge, waiver, and assumption of risk is binding upon me, my child, and our respective heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lancaster Youth Baseball Association, its coaches, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents, as well as any facility owners or operators used by the program, from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense that may arise as a result of any injury or property damage sustained by my child while participating in the program.

I agree to comply with the program’s stated rules, expectations, and conditions for participation. I further agree that if I observe any significant change in my child’s physical or mental readiness for participation, I will remove my child from participation immediately.

I acknowledge that I have read this Informed Consent / General Release, fully understand its terms, understand that I am giving up substantial legal rights by signing it, and sign it voluntarily.
