Waiver and Release:
I acknowledge that any MSA sporting event is an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits and that my participation in MSA programs can cause potential death, serious injury, or property damage. With a full understanding of the potential risks, I HEREBY ASSUME AND, IF APPLICABLE, ASSUME ON BEHALF OF THE MINOR CHILD(REN) IDENTIFIED BELOW, THE RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN MSA ACTIVITY TRAINING EVENTS THROUGH MICHIGAN SPORTS ACADEMIES (“MSA”) AND/OR AT ANY MSA-AFFILIATED LOCATION. I understand that participation in such activity is inherently dangerous, and such risks cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity, which I further agree is for recreational purposes and completely voluntary. I hereby take the following action for myself, my respective heirs, assigns and legal representatives, successors, and assigns:a) I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE from any and all claims or liabilities for death or personal injury or damages of any kind, EXCEPT THAT WHICH IS THE RESULT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND/OR WANTON MISCONDUCT OF MSA AND/OR THE FACILITY, and all of its affiliated organizations, owners, officers, agents, and employees, which arise out of or relate to my participation in any MSA activity; b) I AGREE NOT TO SUE any of the persons or entities affiliated with MSA for any of the claims or liabilities that I have waived, released, or discharged herein related to or arising from my or my child’s participation in MSA activities, premises, or equipment; and c) I INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the persons or entities mentioned above from any claims made or liabilities assessed against them as a result of my actions. Acknowledgment: In consideration of the rights and privileges granted to me by signing this membership form, I certify that:
If applicant is under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must execute, in addition to the foregoing Waiver and Release, the following, for and on behalf of the minor. The undersigned parent and natural guardian or legal guardian of the applicant executes the foregoing Waiver and Release for and on behalf of the minor named herein. I hereby bind myself, the minor, and all other assigns to the terms of the Waiver and Release. I represent that I have legal capacity and authority to act for and on behalf of the minor named herein, and I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the persons or entities named in the Waiver and Release for any claims or liabilities assessed against them as a result of any insufficiency of my legal capacity or authority to act for and on behalf of the minor in the execution of the Waiver and Release. I have also read and understand the MSA Rules and have reviewed the Rules with my child regarding the stipulated conditions and their ramification. I fully consent to my child’s participation in MSA programs.
