In consideration of being allowed to participate in events and activities related to the West Chester Predators Summer Program, I, the undersigned, acknowledge and agree as follows:
There is an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, a contagious virus which may cause severe illness, other adverse medical reactions, quarantine requirements, transmission to friends and/or family, and/or death in addition to other adverse results, the scope of which may not be fully understood given that COVID-19 is a novel virus and has not yet been fully evaluated by the medical community (“Virus Risks”). COVID-19 is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact, aerosol droplets, and through surfaces, and it may be spread by individuals who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic. My participation in Soccer Activities will substantially increase my risk of exposure to COVID-19, given that, by their nature, Soccer Activities involve person-to-person contact. I agree to assume full responsibility for any resulting Virus Risks, whether they are known or unknown.
WC Predators, West Chester United Soccer Club, Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association, United States Adult Soccer Association, their affiliates, and their teams have established certain requirements and protocols in consultation with medical consultants designed to reduce the Virus Risks; however, significant Virus Risk remains despite the Protocols. I agree to strictly comply with the Protocols and acknowledge that my failure to do so may increase the Virus Risks.
