Participation Sportsmanship Commitment, Waiver of Liability, Medical Release, Hold Harmless Waiver and Privacy Policy

Registrants for all FYSA programs must accept the following Participation Sportsmanship Commitment, Waiver of Liability, Medical Release, and Privacy Policy in order to submit their registration order (see further below for the additional waiver pertaining to Adult Divisions)

In consideration for my voluntary participation in organized soccer and other activities through FYSA, I hereby willfully acknowledge to my understanding and agreement that:

I will not compromise myself in such a way as to do harm to the league or facilities, knowing that players may be dismissed from participation, with possible loss of payment or dues, for violent conduct or unsportsmanlike behavior on or off the field of play. I will exhibit good sportsmanship in all my activities and remember that this is a recreational program, open to youth of all skill levels, without an emphasis on winning. I will conduct myself appropriately in interactions with youth, parents, coaches, league administrators and officials. I will also report any observed violations of good sportsmanship that I witness to the league. I agree to pay for any and all damages to any property or indemnities caused by me willfully, negligently, or otherwise.

When an applicable COVID-19 Mitigation Plan is in effect for any program I am enrolled in, I agree to follow the published guidelines and requirements to the best of my abilities and understand that failure to do so may result in removal from the program.

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 the league 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 properly-fitted and appropriate shoes, and other protective equipment, as provided by soccer rules, and follow other safety guidelines issued by the league, to all events. 

I authorize my photograph, picture or likeness, and voice to appear in any documentary, promotion (including advertising), social media, television, video, or radio coverage of the league or tournament, without compensation. Participants will never be tagged/identified on the above-mentioned sources without written consent. NOTE: if any parent/guardian or participant wishes to opt out of such matters, they may do so via email at [email protected]

I hereby release, waive liability, discharge, hold harmless, indemnify, and covenant not to sue, the United States Soccer Federation, the State Association, the Club, the league or 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.

In consideration of being allowed to voluntarily participate in an FYSA athletic program and related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that:

1. Participation includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases including but not limited to MRSA, influenza, and COVID-19. While particular rules and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does exist; and,

2. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the releasees or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,

3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation as regards protection against infectious diseases. If, however, I observe and any unusual or significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and,

4. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS S.A.Y. Soccer, U.S.A., United States Adult Soccer Association, and Fairbanks Youth Soccer Association, their officers, officials, coaches, members, agents, and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“releasees”), while participating in activities of any kind whether sponsored by or under the supervision of the aforementioned entities and with respect to any and all illness, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For applicable Recreational programs (SAY Soccer Hold Harmless Waiver): WE HEREBY AGREE THAT THE SOCCER ASSOCIATION FOR YOUTH (SAY) ITS MEMBERS, COACHES OR OFFICERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY OR LOSS WHICH MY CHILD MAY SUSTAIN WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER SPONSORED BY OR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF SAY AND WE AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND TO HOLD HARMLESS SAY, ITS MEMBERS, COACHES, OFFICERS OR DESIGNATES OF ANY KIND FROM ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER.
