- That the undersigned understands that the sport of curling is played on ice and requires physical fitness; and
- That the Minor possesses such physical fitness; and

- In the case that the Minor requires urgent medical attention and I cannot be reached, I hereby authorize:
- (i) emergency personnel and medical practitioners selected by any of the Releasees or other chaperone of the Minor, in their reasonable judgment and sole discretion, to take any and all necessary measures on behalf of the Minor; and

- That the undersigned understands the risk of illness as a result of the Minor participating in activities at the facility, including but not limited to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which may lead to serious health complications or even death, and while particular mitigation measures, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does still exist; and
- If, however, any unusual and/or significant hazard(s) are observed by the undersigned and/or the Minor during participation at the facility, then we will remove ourselves from participation and bring such to the attention of the Board of Directors for the Anchorage Curling club immediately; and

- Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or exclude any action, cause of action, claim, demand, liability, payment, reimbursement, other benefit, or any court costs or legal expenses and fees that the Minor or the Minor’s estate, successors, heirs, beneficiaries, administrators, trustees, representatives, or attorneys might have or seek against
