DISCLAIMER, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER: For myself, and on behalf of my heirs, assigns and next of kin, I acknowledge that participation in soccer necessarily involves travel, participation on adverse field conditions, contact with considerable force, and risk of severe, permanent physical injury including bruises, scrapes, strained, sprained or torn muscles, tendons or ligaments, broken bones, dislocation of joints, concussion, brain damage, nerve and spinal cord injury, paralysis and death.
