I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s your choice as parent/guardian to allow your kid, family, etc. to assume the risks. It’s your choice. Expecting an organization to provide you a safety net or assume responsibility/liability for your child for a $50 player registration card fee is naive. Cal South can’t really control what the member clubs do-there’s no real oversight mechanism, they can’t control what families and parents do in their home, work, or on their own. They are providing a framework/governing body/organization for play just as before. Clubs will have the same release and hold harmless language. We are adding it at work to our employment contracts. You can’t hold people/organizations responsible for things they don’t own, control or manage. In the unlikely event your kid gets sick, the responsibility is squarely on you for letting them play, the parent/guardian. That’s the risk you are taking by participating. Same as assuming the risk of injury, getting other things that kids pass around, etc.
