I give my consent for emergency treatment by a duly licensed physician of medicine or doctor of dentistry. This treatment may be given under whatever conditions are necessary to prevent the life, limbs, or well-being of said child. I absolve the Midlothian Youth Football League, Inc., (including Cheerleaders, Brazos Valley Football Association, and affiliated organization, sponsors, and coaches, their employer and associated personnel, board members, the owners of the fields) from responsibility for any injury sustained while attending practices, games, or any activity and/or being transported to/from any of the same.
