I am willing to take full responsibility for my participation in the 2026 Homer Softball Association (HSA) season of play. Furthermore, I do not hold the Homer Softball Association, the association’s volunteers, commissioners, or umpires, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, or the City of Homer, liable for any injury or loss that might occur during my use of the fields and facilities for play or practice. I understand that HSA does not provide any primary and/or secondary health insurance coverage in the case of injury or loss. I agree to conduct myself in a manner that will not endanger those participating in and around these events. In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the HSA related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges and appreciates the following:
1. I acknowledge that risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the potential for injury, permanent paralysis, and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personnel discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,
2. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISK; both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASES or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,
3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and,
4. I for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS HSA, the association’s volunteers, commissioners, or umpires, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the City of Homer, their officials, agents, volunteers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event ("RELEASES"), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE FOR THE RELEASES OR OTHERWISE.
