I hereby authorize the transportation of my player to or from the Programs.
My child/player has received a physical examination by a licensed medical doctor and has been found physically capable of participating in the sport of soccer. I have provided written notice, which is submitted in conjunction with this release and attached hereto, setting forth any specific issue, condition, or ailment, in addition to what is specified above, that my child has or that may impact my child's participation in the Programs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Norris United Football Club (the Programs) have worked with, and followed the guidance of, various governing bodies to develop guidelines to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the risks associated with it, including cleaning, screening, social distancing, etc. The Programs and its agents will work hard to implement and abide by those guidelines. However, not the guidelines themselves, the Programs, nor even additional guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) can guarantee an environment that is 100% free from COVID-19 related risks.
By allowing your child to participate in the Programs, you acknowledge and understand that your child's participation will require him/her to physically interact with the agents, volunteers, and other participants of the Programs. As such, despite reasonable mitigation efforts on behalf of the Programs, physical interaction with the public at large may pose some unavoidable risks to you, your child, and your family due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking that into consideration, you also agree to the following:
You hereby release and forever discharge and hold harmless the Programs, its agents, and volunteers from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from your child's participation in the Programs or activities associated with the Programs. You understand that this release discharges the Programs from any liability or claim that you may have against the Programs with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, or other issue that may result from your child's participation, whether caused by the negligence of the Programs, its officers, directors, employees, or other agents or volunteers, or by the negligence of others, or byt the condition of the facilities or areas where the activities of the Programs are being conducted.
You further understand that your child's participation in the Programs may expose him/her and others to unavoidable COVID-19 community spread. As such, you hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury, illness, or other harm, and also expressly release the Programs from all liability for injury, illness, or other issue resulting from, or in any way related to, your child's participation in the Programs.
