RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in SAN DIEGO SOCCER CLUB programs, including any related events and activities, I the undersigned, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that: 

I am aware that infections related to the virus “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2), which is responsible for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) (hereinafter SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 shall be referred to as “COVID19”) have been confirmed throughout the United States, including many cases in California.

I am further aware that participating and/or allowing my child(ren) to participate in club related activities will present a real and direct risk that me and/or my child(ren) may, and in some cases will, be exposed to COVID19, as well as other viruses and/or communicable diseases. Such activities include, but are not limited to, club events and meetings, formal and informal practice activities, sanctioned and/or unsanctioned soccer games, scrimmages, as well as any other club soccer activities where groups of two (2) or more may congregate.

The undersigned acknowledges that any illness or injuries that the undersigned or such participating child(ren) contract or sustain may be compounded by negligent first aid or emergency response and waive any claim in respect thereof.
