________________________________________________________

In consideration for my participating in an event, program or activity at any of the Facilities, I hereby agree to the following terms and conditions of this Release: 

1) Acknowledgment of Risks. I understand and acknowledge the following:

  1. Baseball is a vigorous team sport. Playing baseball anywhere (even under the most safe circumstances and conditions) and my attendance or participation at the Facilities may create a potentially dangerous situation in which my person and/or my property is at risk of injury, loss, or damage (including impairment of my future ability to earn a living, engage in other business, social and recreational activities), and I am at risk for serious emotional, physical, or bodily injury, including the potential for broken bones, injuries effecting joints, muscles, and internal organs, severe injuries to the head, neck and back, partial or permanent disability (including brain damage), temporary or permanent paralysis, and death (the "Risks"), despite any measures which may be taken by others to reduce or eliminate the Risks. I acknowledge that the Risks could be posed by any number of factors or conditions (including any combination of such factors and conditions), and expressly recognize that the Risks shall include, but not be limited to, the following occurrences and known perils regularly associated with the playing of baseball:
  2. i) Injuries to the ankle and/or knee which may be precipitated by my running, sliding (both in fielding and in running the bases), my being struck by a ball (either thrown or batted), or contact with another individual or the infrastructure of the Facilities or the ground, notwithstanding instruction and coaching, protective equipment, padding, warning tracks, and other precautions.
  3. ii) Concussions and contusions caused by my being struck by a bat, a ball (either thrown or batted), or contact between me and another individual or me and the infrastructure of the Facilities or the ground.

iii) Instances of cardiac stress of varying levels of severity, including cardiac arrest, caused by my participation in any event or activity at the Facilities.

  1. iv) Neither Ballparks of America, LLC, nor any Vendors, nor their respective owners or agents will have any medical personnel present and are not responsible for handling any medications for participants.

2) The Risks associated with my attendance or participation at the Facilities may be due to, among other things:

  1. The vagaries of sport.
  2. Another individual's use of the Facilities or participation at or with one or more of the Ballpark Parties, including instances where an individual may act dangerously or without due skill or care.
  3. My health or any medical condition, which may be exacerbated, aggravated, triggered or otherwise affected by my use of the Facilities and participation at or with one or more of the Ballpark Parties.
  4. The instruction, acts (or omissions), recommendations, advice, care, and/or treatment provided by my coach, medical professionals, and others.
  5. The risk that my coach, an umpire, or an employee or agent of one or more of the Ballpark Parties may misjudge my abilities, my conditioning, the weather, or some aspect of my mental, emotional, or physical condition that may make some or all of my participation at the Facilities inappropriate or inadvisable.
  6. Uneven terrain, sunlight and/or cloudiness, wet grass, and other physical and atmospheric conditions.
  7. Weather conditions and vehicle traffic, which may be hazardous and render my presence or attendance at the Facilities or participation at or with one or more of the Ballpark Parties even more dangerous or hazardous.
  8. The ability of trained medical personnel to timely respond to any medical condition or injury I may suffer at the Facilities or while participating at or with one or more of the Ballpark Parties.
  9. Some other Risk or other danger that is not reasonably foreseeable at this time.
