Zach has recently started a youth soccer league that is a part of his larger sport-related ministry. He used several different youth leagues' rules (e.g., AYSO, Upward Sports) to help form his league's guidelines. When it came to field playing conditions, the other leagues noted that the fields shall be inspected for potential hazards prior to play. Thus, these inspections can establish the standard of care. However, Zach's guidelines do not address such inspections. Therefore, the standard of care for Zach's league is difficult to discern.

The court will use the guidelines of other similar leagues. B. The court will use the reasonable person standard to answer the question of negligence. C. Without any guidelines, the court will not be able to address negligence claims related to field playing conditions. D. The court will automatically find Zach guilty because he did not have any guidelines. 24.

Governmental immunity will only cover acts that are deemed ordinarily negligent. B. Liability waivers, where legal, will not protect service providers for gross negligence. C.
