I acknowledge that participation in Southbay Hoops league play, practices, scrimmages, and related events carries inherent risks, including but not limited to: collisions with other players, officials, or objects; falls; sprains, fractures, and other physical injuries; aggravation of pre-existing conditions; and equipment or facility-related hazards. I voluntarily assume all such risks, known and unknown.

I release, waive, and hold harmless Southbay Hoops, Youth Rising Fly High (YRFH), and their respective officers, directors, employees, staff, volunteers, venue owners/operators, and event partners (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, or damages of any kind arising out of or related to my participation, except to the extent caused by the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties against any claim brought by a third party arising from my own acts or omissions during a Southbay Hoops activity.

In the event of injury or medical emergency during a Southbay Hoops event, I authorize league staff or designated medical personnel to arrange or administer emergency first aid or medical treatment on my behalf if I am unable to give consent myself, including transport to a medical facility.

I am responsible for any costs of medical treatment received.

I grant Southbay Hoops and Youth Rising Fly High permission to photograph, film, and record me during league activities, and to use my name, image, and likeness in promotional materials, social media, and the website, without compensation.

Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Waiver, or my participation in Southbay Hoops activities, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered in Santa Clara County, California, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

Waiver of Jury Trial & Class Action. I understand that by agreeing to arbitration, I am giving up the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only.

Governing Law & Venue. This Waiver is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any proceeding not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California.

Severability. If any provision of this Waiver is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement. This Waiver is the entire agreement between me and the Released Parties regarding these matters and supersedes any prior oral or written understandings. I have had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before signing.
