I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary rules, terms and conditions for participation, including in regards to protection against communicable, infectious and/or transmittable diseases.

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless Little Rookies, it officers, officials, agents, and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct any and all activities of Little Rookies (“Releasees”), with respect to any and all illness, injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
