RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR MINOR PARTICIPANTS
READ BEFORE SIGNING
I, the Parent/Guardian, of ___________________________________ (My Child/Ward)
IN CONSIDERATION OF My Child/Ward being allowed to participate in any way in the
Summit High School Robotics (the “Program”) events and activities, including practices,
events, and travel, occurring during and off-season, including but in no way limited to
the Kendall Soap Box Derby, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees
that:
The risks of injury and illness (including bodily injury and disease) to my child from the
activities involved in the Program are significant, including the potential for permanent
disability and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may
reduce these risks, the risks of serious injury and illness do exist; and,
I understand that the coaches, mentors, and volunteers cannot maintain constant
supervision over My Child/Ward, and that accidents are an inherent risk in connection
with the Program which involves the use of dangerous tools, powerful machinery, and
the potential for unpredictable behavior on the part of other minor children.
If My Child/Ward is incapable of safely engaging in unsupervised activity, then I agree to
either attend and supervise My Child/Ward during all meetings and events, or I will
prevent My Child/Ward from participating in any activities without my direct supervision.
FOR MYSELF, SPOUSE, AND CHILD/WARD, I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME
ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASES or others including but not limited to coaches,
mentors, and volunteers, and assume full responsibility for My Child/Ward’s
participation; and,
I willingly agree to comply with, and to compel My Child/Ward to comply with, the
Program’s current and customary rules, terms, and conditions for participation. If I
observe any unusual significant concern in My Child/Ward’s readiness for participation
and/or in the Program itself, I will remove My Child/Ward from the participation and
bring such attention of the nearest coach or mentor immediately; and,
I myself, my spouse, My Child/Ward, and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns, personal
representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Summit
High School Robotics; its directors, officers, officials, agents, coaches, employees,
mentors volunteers, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and
if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“Releasees”),
WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss
or damage to person or property incident to My Child/Ward’s involvement or
participation in the Program, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR MINOR PARTICIPANTS
I, for myself, my spouse, My Child/Ward, and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns,
personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD

NEGLIGENCE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
I, the Parent/Guardian, hereby represent that I have full authority to sign this Waiver on
behalf of My Child/Ward, and that I have explained to My Child/Ward: the risks of the
activity, his/her/their responsibilities for adhering to the rules and regulations, and that
My Child/Ward understands this agreement.
