Check in when you arrive
Say hi to one of our coaches when you get to the field so we know you’re here and your waiver is on file. If you marked “no” for photo consent on the waiver, your player will get a yellow wristband — that’s how our coaches, volunteers, and photographers know to keep them out of any photos and videos.
Yellow band = no photos, please -
5
Play!
Find a game and ball out. Kids and adults play free, no tryouts — just the beautiful game.
A note for parents
- Players 10 and under need a parent or guardian to stay on-site.
- If your player is older than 10 but you have any concerns about their behavior, comfort, or needs, please stay on-site too.
- Otherwise, parents of older players are welcome to stay or drop off — it’s your call.
Please remember: this is open pickup soccer — not a camp or childcare. Our coaches and volunteers run the games and keep things positive, but they aren’t able to supervise or care for individual children. You know your child best, so please use your judgment about whether they’re ready to play on their own.
Sign the Waiver Before You Play
One quick form per player — kids and adults alike. Check in with a coach when you arrive so we know your waiver is on file. If you mark “no” for photo consent, your player will wear a yellow wristband at the field so our whole team knows to keep them out of photos and videos.
Coming to Glow Night? You need a signed waiver and a Glow Night spot for every player.
What you’re agreeing to
Where this applies. This form covers all For the Players Foundation programs and activities, at every location we use — pickup, coached training sessions, clinics, and events. Sign it once and you’re covered wherever we’re playing.
Voluntary participation & assumption of risk. Soccer and open play involve inherent risks, including injury. An outdoor grass field also brings uneven ground, weather, and changing light. Participation is voluntary, and I knowingly accept these risks for myself and/or my child.
Supervision depends on the program.
Conduct. I am responsible for any injury to others or damage to property caused by me and/or my child during the program — including the field, the goals, and the site we’re playing on.
Health. I and/or my child are healthy enough to play, and I’ve shared any medical conditions or allergies coaches should know about. I’ll tell For the Players if anything changes.
Emergency care. If I or my child need care and no emergency contact can be reached, I authorize For the Players staff to seek emergency medical attention; I am responsible for resulting costs.
Code of conduct. Friendly, all-ages, positive play. No slide tackling. I and/or my child will respect coaches, other players, and the field.
Safe, age-appropriate play. At pickup, players of all ages take part together, and coaches may group players by age, size, or skill when needed to keep games safe and fair. Coached sessions may be grouped by age or team.
