In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way as a member of any team in the Rock River Baseball League, its related events and activities, I, (name of participant), the undersigned, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. The risk of injury and illness resulting from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the exposure to, or potential for infections, including but not limited to influenza, COVID-19, MRSA, as well as permanent paralysis and death, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury and illness does exist; and,

3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I’m aware of or observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of my team’s field manager and the ROCK RIVER BASEBALL LEAGUE immediately; and,
4. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ROCK RIVER BASEBALL LEAGUE, their officers, officials, general managers, field managers, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used for the activity(“Releasees”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ILLNESS, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5. Furthermore, I am aware of the potential risks inherent with participation in this activity and that the ROCK RIVER BASEBALL LEAGUE does not carry insurance on program participants, and I will not hold the league, their officers, officials, general managers, field managers, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used for the activity responsible for any injuries I might receive as a result of my participation.
