1. Participant Information

2. Assumption of Risk

I understand that participating in softball activities involves inherent and other risks, including but not limited to being struck by a ball or bat, collisions with other players, falls, sliding injuries, muscle strains, sprains, fractures, head injuries, dental injuries, heat-related illness, dehydration, permanent disability, and death.

I understand that these risks may arise from my own actions, the actions of other participants, field conditions, equipment, weather, or other circumstances.

I voluntarily choose to participate in the softball game and related activities and knowingly accept the risks of injury, illness, property damage, or other harm associated with participation, including risks that may be inherent in the activity.

3. Release and Waiver of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by California law, I release and discharge the event organizers, team representatives, coaches, umpires, volunteers, sponsors, field owners and operators, and their respective employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from claims for personal injury, property damage, or other losses arising out of my participation in the softball game, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the extent such a release is legally enforceable.

This release does not apply to gross negligence, recklessness, intentional misconduct, or any liability or rights that cannot lawfully be waived under California law.

4. Participant Responsibilities

I agree to:

• Follow the game rules and reasonable safety instructions.

• Use softball equipment responsibly and wear appropriate protective equipment.

• Refrain from participating if I am impaired by alcohol, drugs, illness, or injury.

• Inform the organizers of any condition that may affect my ability to participate safely.

• Stop participating if I experience pain, dizziness, or other symptoms that may make continued play unsafe.

I understand that the organizers may remove me from the game if they reasonably believe my participation presents a safety risk.

5. Medical Treatment and Emergency Authorization

I understand that the organizers may not have medical personnel or equipment available at the field.

In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize the organizers to contact emergency services and, when reasonably necessary, assist in arranging emergency medical care. I understand that I am responsible for my own medical expenses, except where otherwise required by law or covered by applicable insurance.

This authorization does not require any organizer to provide medical treatment or guarantee the availability of emergency services.

6. Personal Property

I understand that I am responsible for my personal belongings and equipment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release the Released Parties from responsibility for loss of or damage to my personal property, except to the extent caused by conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be waived.

7. Fitness to Participate

I represent that I am voluntarily participating and believe I am physically able to take part in the activity. I understand that it is my responsibility to assess my own fitness and to seek medical advice when appropriate.

8. Acknowledgment and Agreement

I have read this document, understand its terms, and understand that it affects certain legal rights, including my right to bring certain claims against the Released Parties.

I am signing this waiver voluntarily and without coercion. I have had the opportunity to ask questions and seek independent legal advice before signing.
