Player Waiver and Liability Release Form *
In consideration for being allowed to participate in the Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League and related events and activities, I agree to the undersigned. 1. Waiver and Release: a. I realize that lacrosse is a vigorous physical activity that involves body contact, rapid directional change, and running for a long period of time. I understand that participation in lacrosse involves certain inherent risks and that regardless of the precautions taken by Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League or the participants, some injuries may occur. I am fully aware and appreciate the risks, including the risk of catastrophic injury, paralysis, permanent disability and even death, as well as other damages and losses, associated with participation in a lacrosse event which might result not only from their own actions, inaction or negligence, but the action, inaction or negligence of others, the rules of play, or the condition of the premises or of any equipment used. Further, I agree that there may be other risks not known to us or not reasonably foreseeable at this time. b. I agree on behalf of myself, my heirs, and personal representatives, that the Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and sponsors of any Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League event, along with coaches, officials, referees, volunteers, employees, agents, officers and directors of these organizations and facilities, shall not be liable for any injury, loss of life or other loss or damage occurring as a result of my participation in the Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League. I assume all foregoing risk and accept personal responsibility for damages following such injury, permanent disability or death. 2. Participation: a. In order to properly protect my own safety and that of my fellow participants, I agree to follow the rules set forth by Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League, the rules of the game and any other rules that may be given by my coach and/or director. b. In recognition of the importance of shared responsibility for safety, I agree to inspect the facilities and equipment to be used, and if I believe anything is unsafe, I will immediately advise my coach or supervisor of such condition(s) and refuse to participate. 3. Medical Attention: a. I hereby give my consent to Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League and the host organization of any Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League recognized event to provide, through a medical staff of its choice, customary medical/athletic training attention, transportation and emergency medical services as warranted in the course of my participation in the Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League. In the event that treatment is necessary, I agree not to hold any of the persons or entities mentioned liable for payment of and/or damage resulting from such treatment. 4. Readiness to Compete: a. I further certify that my present level of physical condition is consistent with the demands of active participation in lacrosse. I will only participate in Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League competitions or activities in which I believe I am physically and psychologically prepared to participate. 5. Photo Release: a. I hereby grant Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League permission to use my likeness in a photograph in any and all of its’ publications, including but not limited to, website entries and printed promotional materials, without payment or any other consideration. b. I hereby irrevocably authorize Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League and it’s agents to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish or distribute photos for purposes of publicizing the Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League or for any other lawful purpose. In addition, I waive the right to inspect or approve the finished product, including written or electronic copy, wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the photograph. c. I hereby hold harmless and release and forever discharge Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League from all claims, demands, and causes of action which I, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, or any other persons acting on my behalf or on behalf of my estate have or may have by reason of this authorization. I have carefully read the foregoing document. I have had the opportunity to ask questions and have them answered. I am confident that I fully know, understand, and appreciate the risks involved in lacrosse. I accept each of the above conditions; especially the waiver and release setforth in paragraph one. I assume all the risks and hazards incidental to the conduct of the activities, and I do further release, absolve, indemnify, and hold harmless Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League, the organizers, sponsors, supervisors, volunteers, officials, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and affiliated organizations. This waiver will only expire at the expressed desire of either the signee, or Superior Outdoor Lacrosse League, and is applicable now and in the future.
