This Waiver & Release is made by the undersigned participant and/or the parent or legal guardian of each minor child participant (“Participant,” “Parent/Guardian,” “I,” “me,” or “my”).

GENERAL WAIVER & RELEASE

Assumption of Risks. I understand that participation in athletic activities, including basketball, involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: slips, falls, collisions, overexertion, dehydration, heat illness, equipment failure, facility hazards, and other risks that may result in property damage, serious injury, disability, paralysis, or death. I voluntarily choose to participate (or allow my minor child to participate) and assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, and whether arising from my own actions, the actions of others, or the conditions of the premises.

Health & Fitness / Medical Authorization. I represent that the Participant is in good physical condition and capable of participating safely. I understand it is my responsibility to consult a physician if I have any questions about fitness to participate. In the event of an emergency, I authorize SCF/GGAA Inc. and its representatives to obtain or provide emergency medical care for the Participant (including first aid, CPR, and transportation to medical facilities). I agree to be responsible for all costs related to medical care and transportation, whether or not I have insurance.

Photo, Video, and Media Release. I grant permission to SCF and GGAA Inc. to photograph, record, and use photographs, audio recordings, and video of the Participant in connection with SCF activities. I authorize SCF/GGAA Inc. to use such media in any manner for lawful purposes including promotional, educational, fundraising, reporting, and social media/website use, without compensation. I understand these materials are the property of SCF/GGAA Inc.

Release of Liability (SCF/GGAA Inc.). To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release and discharge SCF and GGAA Inc., and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, independent contractors, coaches, staff, sponsors, partners, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to the Participant’s participation in the Activity, including claims for personal injury, death, or property damage, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Released Party where such limitation is not permitted by law.

Release of Liability (Facilities / Premises). I understand that SCF activities may occur at gyms, schools, parks, private facilities, and other locations not owned or controlled by SCF/GGAA Inc. I release any such facility owners, operators, landlords, lessors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from claims arising out of or related to participation in the Activity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct where such limitation is not permitted by law.

Property / Equipment. I understand that I am responsible for my own property and the Participant’s property. SCF/GGAA Inc. is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property.

Participant Conduct / Safety Rules. I agree that the Participant will follow all instructions, rules, and safety guidelines provided by coaches, staff, or facility personnel. I understand that SCF/GGAA Inc. may remove any participant from activities for unsafe, disruptive, or inappropriate behavior, without refund.

Indemnification. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from (a) my or the Participant’s participation in the Activity, (b) any breach of this Agreement, or (c) my or the Participant’s actions or omissions, including claims brought by third parties.
