I hereby give this child permission to wrestle in the 2020 Middle Atlantic Wrestling Association Championships and release all sponsoring bodies, their officers, tournament officials, committees and referees from all liability. Furthermore, I agree that both myself and my child’s coach will be held responsible for our own and the wrestler’s conduct while attending this event. I am also aware that verbal and physical child abuse or neglect will or may be reported to proper authorities if witnessed by tournament officials and could lead to disqualification of the wrestler and possible lawful investigation beyond our borders.
