1)I acknowledge that my or my CHILD/WARD’s participation in BAYS programs and activities entail known and unknown risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.  The risks include, among other things:

Tackle or Flag Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball and other youth recreational sports and other BAYS activities entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.  BAYS programs expose its participants to the usual risk of cuts and bruises.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks and responsibilities existing in activities offered by BAYS.   My or my legal charge’s (child’s) participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to allow my legal charge (child) to participate in spite of the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless RELEASED PARTIES  from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my or my CHILD/WARD’s participation in this activity or my use of BAYS equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of RELEASED PARTIES to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Should BAYS or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property damaged during my or my legal charge’s (child’s) participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my or the minor participant’s right to maintain a lawsuit against BAYS or any RELEASED PARTIES on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.
