Elite Soccer of America, Inc.
Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability
I, __________________________________________, desire to participate in Elite Soccer Programs (hereinafter "the Camp"), in Association with Elite
Soccer. This Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability covers the entirety of my participation in the Camp, including any travel.
1. Risk Factors- I understand and acknowledge that the use of equipment and facilities provided by Elite Soccer and participation in the Camp
involves risks including, but not limited to the following: risk of property damage, bodily injury, including, but not limited to permanent disability,
paralysis, and possibly death. These risks may result from a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to, the use or misuse of the
equipment or facilities, from the activity itself, from the acts of myself or others, including Elite Soccer and its agents or from the unavailability of
emergency medical care.
2. Assumption of Risk- I am participating in the Camp at my own free will. I understand that my decision to participate in the Camp is entirely
voluntary. I assume full responsibility for all risks that may arise out of or result from my participation in the Camp, including, but not limited to those
risks described in Section 1, above. Excepted from this section are any injuries caused by the gross negligence or willful or wanton
misconduct of any officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers of Elite Soccer.
3. Acknowledgement of Policies and Procedures- I acknowledge that I have read, know, and agree to all of the policies and procedures relating to
my participation in the Camp. I understand that the safe and proper use of all facilities, equipment or participation in the activity is dependent upon
carefully following instructions and any policies and procedures. I agree to comply with and abide by all rules, regulations and policies of Elite
Soccer, and instruct any dependent participating to also comply and abide by said rules.
4. Release, Indemnify, and Defend. I hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless Elite Soccer, the Board of Education of Township High School District No. 214, its Board members, employees, and agents,
and all of their affiliates, predecessors, successors, trustees, officers, directors, faculty, employees, agents and representatives, past or present (hereinafter jointly referred to as “the Released Parties") from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses ("Claims") for any property damage, property loss or theft, personal injury or illness, death or other loss arising from or relating to my participation in the Camp. I also agree to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any Claims arising from or related to my own acts or omissions in connection with my participation in the Camp.
5. Prerequisite Skills. I acknowledge that I, or my dependent enrolled, have the requisite skills, qualifications, physical ability and training necessary
to properly and safely participate in the Camp. I agree that if I have any questions as to what skills, qualifications, or training is necessary to
properly participate in the Camp, then I shall direct such questions to the appropriate individuals.
6. Waiver- I hereby waive any protections afforded by any statute or law in any jurisdiction whose purpose, substance and/or effect is to provide that a
general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise which the person giving the release does not know or suspect to exist at the time
of executing the release. This means, in part, that I am releasing unknown future claims.
7. Payment for Damages. I agree to pay for any and all damages to any property or Release Party caused by me negligently, willfully or otherwise.
8. Representatives. I enter into this agreement for myself, as well as for my heirs, assigns and legal representatives.
9. Consent for Emergency Treatment- I consent to medical treatment for emergencies that occur during or are related to my participation, or my
dependent’s participation in the Camp, where I am unable to consent to such treatment. I understand the provisions of this Assumption of Risk,
Waiver, and Release from Liability apply to any treatment that might be provided to me under this Section, including but not limited to Section 1,
Section 2, and Section 4.
10. Insurance- I understand that I am solely responsible for any medical, health or personal injury costs relating to my participation in the Camp. I
understand that I am strongly encouraged to have a medical physical examination and purchase health insurance prior to any and all participation
in the Camp.
11. Jurisdiction. This Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois. The
parties agree to use the State of Illinois for Jurisdiction and the County of Cook as Venue for any disputes between the parties related to this
Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability.
12. Severability. If any term or provision of this Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term hereof or of any provisions hereof which survive termination, then and in any such event, it is the express intention of the parties
that the remainder of this Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability, or the application of such term, clause or provision other than to
those as to which it is held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, clause or provision of this Assumption of
Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability and the application thereof shall be legal, valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
