制定活动或事件免责协议

Below is a jurisdiction-neutral, U.S.-focused liability waiver and assumption-of-risk agreement tailored for a youth basketball tryout camp. Because enforceability varies materially by state—especially for pre-injury releases executed on behalf of minors—you must customize this form to the governing jurisdiction and obtain review by local counsel before use. Following the template, see legal notes with authorities and jurisdictional considerations to guide tailoring.

Youth Basketball Tryout Camp Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, Indemnification, and Medical Authorization

This Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, Indemnification, and Medical Authorization (Agreement) is entered into by the undersigned Parent/Legal Guardian (Signer) on behalf of the minor Participant identified below, and, if the Participant has reached the age of majority, also by the Participant, in favor of [Camp/Provider Legal Name], its officers, directors, managers, members, employees, coaches, athletic trainers, contractors, volunteers, agents, sponsors, venue owners/lessors, and affiliated entities (collectively, Released Parties).

1. Parties and Activity 1.1 Participant: [Full Legal Name of Minor Participant], Date of Birth: [MM/DD/YYYY] 1.2 Parent/Legal Guardian: [Full Legal Name]; Relationship: [Parent/Guardian] 1.3 Provider/Camp: [Legal Name], doing business as [Camp Name] 1.4 Activity: Youth basketball tryout camp, including skill drills, scrimmages, conditioning, strength and agility exercises, and related training and evaluation activities (Camp). 1.5 Dates/Location: [Dates], at [Facility Name and Address] 1.6 Governing Law and Venue: This Agreement is governed by the law of the State of [State], with exclusive venue in [County/State], except to the extent superseded by mandatory law. If the chosen state restricts or prohibits pre-injury releases for minors and/or recreational facilities, Sections 3–4 are to be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by that law, as further provided in Section 11 (Severability; Savings).

2. Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks; Assumption of Risk 2.1 The Signer understands and acknowledges that basketball, athletic conditioning, and related activities involve inherent risks that cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the Camp. Such risks include, without limitation: slips, trips, and falls; collisions with players or equipment; struck-by-ball injuries; sprains, strains, fractures, concussions or other traumatic brain injuries; overexertion, dehydration, heat illness; cardiac or respiratory events; muscle or tendon tears; eye, dental, and facial injuries; communicable disease exposure (including respiratory viruses); premises defects; and transportation or ingress/egress incidents. 2.2 Voluntary Assumption. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Signer, on behalf of the Participant, knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly assumes all risks of injury, illness, death, or property damage arising out of or related to the Camp that are inherent in such activities or that are otherwise reasonably foreseeable in connection with youth basketball activities.

3. Release and Waiver of Liability (Ordinary Negligence Only) Important: Many states prohibit releases for gross negligence, recklessness, or willful/wanton misconduct. This Section is intended to release only claims permitted by applicable law. 3.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Signer, on behalf of the Participant and the Participant’s heirs, estate, and assigns, hereby releases and discharges the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, and liabilities of any kind, in law or equity, for personal injury, illness, death, or property damage arising out of or related to the Participant’s attendance at or participation in the Camp that result from the ordinary negligence of any Released Party. 3.2 This release does not apply to gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful or wanton misconduct, or any conduct for which releases are prohibited by applicable law.

CONSPICUOUS NOTICE: BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

[Florida option—use if Florida law governs and activity is “commercial” or as otherwise required by Fla. Stat. § 744.301(3); insert statutory warning in all caps, exactly as required by statute.]

4. Indemnification and Hold Harmless 4.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Signer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any third-party claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to the Participant’s acts or omissions, breach of this Agreement, or participation in the Camp, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Released Party or as otherwise prohibited by law. 4.2 If any release of negligence in Section 3 is held unenforceable under applicable law (for example, under state statutes invalidating releases for certain recreational facilities), this indemnity shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permissible and independent of Section 3.

5. Medical Authorization; Health Disclosures; Insurance 5.1 The Signer certifies that the Participant is physically fit and able to safely participate in the Camp; has disclosed any relevant medical conditions, allergies, or restrictions; and will comply with any recommended protective equipment and safety instructions. 5.2 Emergency Care. The Signer authorizes the Released Parties and emergency medical personnel to secure and provide emergency medical evaluation, treatment, or transportation for the Participant as deemed necessary under the circumstances, and agrees to be responsible for all associated costs. 5.3 Insurance. The Signer understands and agrees that the Released Parties do not provide accident or medical insurance for participants and that the Signer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining adequate health/medical insurance for the Participant.

6. Rules, Safety, and Removal 6.1 The Participant agrees to comply with all Camp rules, codes of conduct, and coach/trainer instructions. 6.2 The Provider may, in its sole discretion, remove the Participant from the Camp for unsafe behavior, rule violations, or health/safety reasons, without refund, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Communicable Diseases 7.1 The Signer acknowledges the contagious nature of communicable diseases and voluntarily assumes the risk that the Participant may be exposed to or infected by a communicable disease through participation in the Camp, and that such exposure or infection could result in personal injury, illness, disability, or death. 7.2 The Signer agrees that the Participant will not attend the Camp while experiencing symptoms of a communicable illness in contravention of applicable public health guidance.

8. Media; Name, Image, and Likeness (Optional—use as permitted by law) 8.1 The Signer consents to the capture and use of the Participant’s image, voice, and likeness in photographs, videos, or other media recorded during the Camp for Provider’s non-commercial promotional and archival purposes, without compensation, in any medium now known or later developed. If local law requires a separate, standalone consent or permits revocation, adjust accordingly.

9. Minor Status; Authority; Effect on Parents’ Own Claims 9.1 The Signer represents and warrants that the Participant is a minor and that the Signer is the Participant’s parent or legal guardian with legal authority to execute this Agreement on the Participant’s behalf. 9.2 The Signer understands that, in some jurisdictions, a parent/guardian may not waive a minor’s own prospective claims for negligence. In such jurisdictions, this Agreement shall be construed as (a) an express assumption of risk by the Signer on behalf of the minor to the maximum extent permitted; (b) a waiver of the Signer’s and the family’s derivative/personal claims (including loss of consortium/services) to the extent permitted; and (c) an agreement to indemnify under Section 4 to the extent permitted by law. 9.3 If the Participant has reached the age of majority under applicable law, the Participant signs below and personally agrees to all terms herein.

10. Dispute Resolution (Optional; tailor for minors and local law) 10.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement within 30 days before filing suit or demanding arbitration. 10.2 Arbitration/Mediation. [Optional: Insert mediation or arbitration provision compliant with governing state law, AAA/JAMS rules, class waiver, and carve-outs for injunctive relief or claims not subject to arbitration. Note: enforceability against minors varies; use caution and obtain local counsel review.]

11. Severability; Savings; Conspicuousness 11.1 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force to the maximum extent permitted by law. 11.2 To the extent a jurisdiction prohibits pre-injury releases of negligence for minors or for recreational facilities that charge a fee, Sections 3–4 shall be interpreted to provide the maximum lawful protection, including assumption of risk, waiver of parental/derivative claims, and indemnification, without releasing claims that cannot lawfully be released. 11.3 The Signer acknowledges that key risk allocation provisions are conspicuous and have been brought to their attention.

12. Entire Agreement; No Oral Modification; Execution 12.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings. No oral modifications are effective. 12.2 Electronic signatures or acceptance by electronic means are binding to the fullest extent permitted by law.

By signing below, the Signer affirms that they have read this Agreement in full, understand its terms, have had the opportunity to ask questions or consult counsel, and voluntarily agree to be bound.

Drafting Notes and Legal Authority for Tailoring (Summary, Not Legal Advice)

• General enforceability of exculpatory clauses: Many states enforce clear, unambiguous exculpatory agreements not affecting the public interest and not purporting to waive gross negligence or worse. See, e.g., Jones v. Dressel, 623 P.2d 370 (Colo. 1981) (four-factor test); Tunkl v. Regents of Univ. of Cal., 60 Cal. 2d 92 (1963) (public interest factors). Releases must be conspicuous and clear.
• Gross negligence and willful/wanton misconduct: Releases generally cannot waive gross negligence or willful/wanton misconduct. See, e.g., City of Santa Barbara v. Superior Court, 41 Cal. 4th 747 (2007) (pre-injury release cannot exculpate gross negligence).
• Parental releases for minors vary by state:
  • Some states allow parents to release a minor’s claims for inherent risks of recreational activities by statute or case law (e.g., Colorado: Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-22-107).
  • Some states prohibit or strictly limit parental pre-injury releases of a minor’s negligence claims (e.g., New Jersey: Hojnowski v. Vans Skate Park, 187 N.J. 323 (2006); several other jurisdictions follow similar rules).
  • Some states invalidate waivers for certain recreational facilities that charge a fee. Example: New York General Obligations Law § 5-326 renders agreements exempting facilities such as gyms or places of amusement/recreation from their own negligence void when a fee is paid by the user.
  • Some states authorize parental releases with mandated warning language and content requirements. Example: Florida Statutes § 744.301(3) (requires specific conspicuous warning language for commercial activity providers; permits waiver only for “inherent risks” and sets form requirements).
• Assumption of risk: Even where releases are restricted, express assumption-of-risk acknowledgments and detailed risk disclosures remain valuable and enforceable in many jurisdictions, particularly for sports with inherent risks.
• Indemnification: Parental indemnity for third-party claims and for parent’s own derivative claims is often more readily enforced than a minor’s pre-injury release; ensure the clause is not overbroad and complies with any anti-indemnity statutes applicable to recreational facilities.
• Conspicuousness and clarity: Use clear, unambiguous language; highlight that ordinary negligence is being released (where allowed). Avoid releasing gross negligence. Use headings and all-caps warnings where required.
• Arbitration/venue: Enforceability of arbitration/class waivers for minors varies; obtain local counsel review before including.
• Medical authorization: Generally permissible for parents/guardians; ensure HIPAA is respected by limiting scope to emergency care and necessary disclosures.

Instructions for Implementation

• Identify the governing state law and confirm whether: (1) parental releases for minors are enforceable; (2) releases for recreational facilities that charge a fee are restricted; and (3) any mandatory warning language or formatting (e.g., Florida) applies.
• If the governing state limits or prohibits negligence waivers for minors or for fee-based recreational facilities, rely on: detailed risk disclosures; assumption-of-risk acknowledgments; parental waiver of the parent’s own derivative claims; and indemnification for third-party claims, while removing or narrowing the negligence release.
• Maintain version control and retain signed copies (paper or e-signed) consistent with state e-signature statutes and evidence rules.

This template is designed to align with prevailing U.S. legal principles for recreational sports while flagging jurisdictional issues that can materially alter enforceability. Obtain local counsel review before use.
