There remains, despite safety precautions, the remote possibility of crippling or death. I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE all such risks, dangers and hazards, resulting from my participation in the Okanagan Premier League its affiliated provincial/territorial sport-governing bodies, and clubs.

I have read and understand the above statement of risk.
I assume responsibility for my own safety, and I understand and accept the risks involved with soccer.
