2. Assumption of Risk
Basketball activities involve inherent risks including, without limitation, physical contact, falls, collisions, sprains, fractures, concussion, heat-related illness, and other injuries. The participant voluntarily assumes all such risks, whether known or unknown, arising out of participation in any Event.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the participant and their parent or legal guardian release, waive, and discharge Gifted Hoops, 513 High School Hoops, and their respective owners, officers, staff, coaches, evaluators, volunteers, contractors, host venues, and affiliates (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, actions, and liabilities for personal injury, illness, death, property loss, or damage arising out of or related to participation in any Event, except for injury caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Released Party.
