  • Assumption of risk and release.

  • 3. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

  • I understand that football and related league activities involve risks that may result in property damage, illness, serious bodily injury, disability, paralysis, or death. These risks may arise from contact with other participants, falls, collisions, equipment, weather, field conditions, travel, physical exertion, or other known and unknown causes.

    • Flag football may still involve running, falls, accidental contact, collisions, and other physical risks.
    • Tackle football involves deliberate physical contact and may present a higher risk of injury.
    • No helmet, pad, field, rule, official, coach, or insurance policy can eliminate every risk.
    • I am responsible for stopping participation and notifying appropriate personnel if I believe conditions are unsafe for me.

  • 4. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

  • To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release and waive claims against Deaf Regional Football League LLC (DRFL LLC), South East Deaf Football League (SEDFL), their authorized commissioners, officers, employees, volunteers, coaches, officials, referees, event personnel, participating teams, and facility providers arising from the ordinary risks of my voluntary participation.

    This waiver is not intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived, and it does not excuse conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be released.

  • 5. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

    • I am responsible for following safety instructions and using required equipment appropriate to my division.
    • I am responsible for my own transportation, personal property, medications, and personal equipment unless SEDFL agrees otherwise in writing.
    • I understand that SEDFL does not guarantee that every injury, loss, or expense will be covered by league or team insurance.
    • I agree not to participate while impaired by alcohol, illegal drugs, or any substance that makes participation unsafe.
