If, however, I observe any unusual, significant hazard during my presence at activities and/or events under the jurisdiction of the MSYSA, this child/adult will discontinue participation and bring such hazard to the attention of the nearest official immediately.

5. This child/adult, and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Michigan State Youth Soccer Association, their officers, officials, agents, employees, volunteers, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the events (“RELEASEES”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, to this child/adult, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
