Release Form to return to play

AYSO Participation (Return to Play) Release Form

The AYSO Participation (Return to Play) Release Form not only protects AYSO, but more importantly, the participants. Players should not participate until they are fit to play again. The form requires a parent or guardian signature in order to help ensure a player is well enough to return to participation. A Participation (Return to Play) Release Form must be signed by parents/guardians whenever there is an injury or illness requiring medical treatment including serious illnesses like hepatitis and pneumonia. A signed Participation (Return to Play) Release Form is required whenever a player is removed from play for a suspected concussion. A medical release signed by the appropriate medical professional must also be attached to the Participation (Return to Play) Release Form before a player can return to play after a concussion is suspected.
