Informed Consent and Acknowledgement

I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge and agree that either (a) I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant named below and am authorized to execute this document on their behalf, or (b) I am eighteen (18) years of age or older and am signing on my own behalf as a participant.

I hereby consent to and authorize the participation of the participant in all activities organized, supervised, or conducted by the SKC Unified Soccer Team, including but not limited to tryouts, practices, games, events, travel, meetings, and all related activities from the beginning of the tryout process through the conclusion of the final game.

In consideration of the participant’s acceptance and involvement with the SKC Unified Soccer Team, I hereby assume full responsibility for all risks and hazards incidental to such participation. I further release, indemnify, and hold harmless Sporting KC, Special Olympics Kansas, Special Olympics Missouri, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers, contractors, affiliates, venue owners/lessors, and sponsors from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or related to participation in or travel associated with the above-referenced activities.

In the event of injury, illness, or other harm to the participant, I hereby waive any and all claims against the entities and individuals listed above, including but not limited to coaches, staff, affiliates, participants, sponsoring agencies, advertisers, and any owners or lessors of premises used in connection with these activities.

I understand and acknowledge that participation in soccer and related athletic activities involves inherent and significant risks, including, but not limited to, sprains, fractures, concussions, heat-related illness, paralysis, or death. I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks on behalf of myself or the minor participant.

By signing below, I certify that I have read, understand, and voluntarily agree to the terms of this Informed Consent, Assumption of Risk, and Release of Liability.

Medical Release and Authorization

I, the undersigned, acknowledge and agree that I am either (a) the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant named below and am authorized to execute this Medical Release and Authorization on their behalf, or (b) an adult participant (18 years of age or older) and am signing on my own behalf.

I hereby authorize the diagnosis, care, and treatment of the participant by a qualified and licensed medical professional in the event of a medical emergency which, in the judgment of the attending medical professional, requires immediate attention to prevent further endangerment of life, physical disfigurement, physical impairment, or other serious pain, suffering, or discomfort.

I grant permission to any attending physician or medical professional to proceed with all necessary medical care, including but not limited to examination, diagnostic procedures, x-rays, laboratory testing, medical treatment, minor surgical procedures, and the administration of medications or immunizations deemed necessary for the health and safety of the participant. In the event of a serious illness, significant injury, or the need for major medical intervention, I understand that reasonable efforts will be made to contact me (or the emergency contact provided), but that this authorization is valid should such efforts be unsuccessful or impractical under the circumstances.

I further authorize Sporting KC, Special Olympics Kansas, Special Olympics Missouri, and their respective directors, officers, employees, volunteers, coaches, team managers, agents, and affiliates to provide emergency first aid or supportive care prior to the participant’s admission to a medical facility, if such care is reasonably deemed necessary.

This authorization shall remain valid for the full duration of the registered season and for all associated activities, events, practices, games, meetings, and travel related to the SKC Unified Soccer Team.

This Medical Release and Authorization is executed voluntarily and knowingly, with the sole purpose of permitting emergency medical treatment under circumstances in which delaying care could reasonably endanger the health or safety of the participant.

Acknowledgement of Team Responsibilites & Experience Guidelines

I acknowledge that:

-By attending tryouts, no player is gauranteed to make the team. Player selections will be done so according to established skills and by a team of pre-selected, un biased, individuals.

-If selected to the final team I agree to the following rules and expectations:

Player will sign the pledge of leadership and sportsmanship and be a positive ambassador of both Special Olympics Kansas/Missouri and Sporting KC.
Player will attend the Sporting KC Unified Soccer Team's official signing day as well as media day opportunities.
Player will attend 80% of the weekly practices May-September. If something comes up and a player is not able to attend practice, team managers/coaches should be notified as soon as possible and the player will work on soccer skills independently to make up the missed practice.
Player is required to attend signing day (May 19th or 20th, 2026)
Player will be able to travel to St. Louis for the away game July 15th-16th, 2026
- I understand and agree that the player can fly/travel independently, and stay at a hotel without family and caretakers present. SKC staff, team coaches, and team managers will be traveling with players to ensure their safety throughout the experience.
- I understand that for travelling, the team(players, coaches, and team managers ONLY) will travel with the Sporting KC team on the team charter.
- Family/friends will NOT be allowed to travel with the team. If they wish to attend the game, they will have to plan and pay their own way. During the away game travel, the team will be following the pre-established MLS schedule which does not allow for spending time with their families/friends who may choose to attend the away game.
Player will be at the home game(s) and all required pre/post-game activities July 21st-22nd, 2026 and on September 4th-5th, 2026.
