NP Wild Activity Waiver
In consideration of being allowed to participate in the activity and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, I agree on behalf of my child (the “Participant”) with Next Play Soccer Club, including individual Participants/Players and Coaches/Support Staff, (collectively the “Activity Providers”) to the following:
1. DETAILS OF ACTIVITY. The Participant will be participating in the following activity: Soccer instruction and game play (the “Activity”).
2. CONSIDERATION. Soccer is a physical, contact sport that involves the risk of injury. I assume all risks and hazards associated with my participation in the sport. I am in proper physical condition to participate in soccer practices and games and have no illness, disease or existing injury or physical defect that would be aggravated by my participation. I will inform my coach if this status changes. I further acknowledge that this risk may involve loss or damage to me or my property, including the risk of death, or other unforeseen consequences, including those which may be due to the unavailability of immediate emergency medical care. I have a current medical consent form in force. I will wear shin guards, properly fitted and appropriate shoes, and other protective equipment (e.g., mouth-pieces), as required by soccer rules, to all events.
3. Being the lawful guardian of the Participant, and in consideration of the Participant being permitted to participate in the Activity, on behalf of the Participant the Legal Guardian releases and forever discharges the Activity Providers, the Activity Providers’s spouse, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and assigns from all manner of actions, causes of action, debts, accounts, bonds, contracts, claims, and demands for or by reason of any injury to person or property, including injury resulting in death of the Participant, which has been or may be sustained as a consequence of the Participant’s participation in the Activity, and not withstanding that such damage, loss or injury may have been caused solely or partly by the negligence of the Activity Providers.
4. The Activity Providers does not have personal injury insurance that covers the Activity Participant’s participation. Therefore, the Activity Participant is responsible for any and all medical expenses arising from their participation, both in practices and games and while travelling to and from these events. Therefore, I should have a current, active, personal injury insurance policy in force, which covers my participation. Under any condition, I am responsible for any and all medical expenses arising from my participation, both in practices and games and while travelling to and from these events. I have the right and responsibility to inspect the equipment and facilities prior to events and, if I believe that anything may be unsafe, I will advise the coach or supervisor of the condition and may refuse to participate. Participation assumes consent.
5. The Legal Guardian understands that the Participant would not be permitted to participate in the Activity unless the Legal Guardian signs this Waiver.
6. To the maximum extent permitted by the law, I hereby release, waive liability, discharge, hold harmless, indemnify, and covenant not to sue, the Activity Providers, the league and tournament, their associated directors, administrators, officers, managers, employees, coaches, trainers, volunteers, sponsors and advertisers, and other agents, estates or executors, from any and all liability incurred in the conduct of, and my participation in, their soccer programs. This includes owners, lessors, and lessees of premises, municipalities, government agencies, successors, heirs, and assigns.
7. FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT. The Legal Guardian acknowledges and agrees with the Activity Providers that: (1) the Activity Providers has given the Legal Guardian sufficient time to carefully read this Waiver, (2) the Legal Guardian has been given the opportunity and has been encouraged to seek independent legal advice prior to signing this Waiver, (3) the Legal Guardian fully understands the risks and claims that the Participant is waiving to participate in the Activity, (4) the Legal Guardian is freely and voluntarily executing this Waiver, (5) the Participant is forever prevented from suing or otherwise claiming against the Activity Providers for any property loss or personal injury that the Participant may sustain while participating in or preparing for the Activity.
8. GOVERNING LAW. This Waiver will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
I have completely read this document and fully understand its contents. I acknowledge that I have given up substantial rights by accepting this document and that I do so voluntarily. My signature attests to this on behalf of myself and my executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors, and assigns.
