Signing a waiver does not mean you can’t sue a club. If the club is not adhering to or violating state laws or guidelines and your kid gets sick...then you have a right to sue. If the club is operating within state guidelines, you sign a waiver and your kids gets sick...then it will be tough to sue. Signing a waiver does not release a club from all of their responsibilities to follow state and local laws, bylaws and guidelines. The US and NY state is still in a state of emergency enacted by the president and governor respectively.
What the CDC put out are guidelines, not requirements. NYS hasn't come out with anything, but if its outside, most they say is keep distance, wash hands and don't share stuff.
Try suing a club for you getting sick and see what happens. Nothing. First thing, try suing if you get the flu from them or chicken pox or anything else. The courts will laugh at you. Second, you have to prove that you got sick on the field with them, not you walking to the car, talking (or drinking) in the parking lot, ect. Third, i bet each club will give you the option to return. if you do then, it was your choice to be there.
Do club owe refunds? yes they do. how much needs to be determined once the kids get on the fields and see what tourney they can do. But asking for a refund now is pointless, unless you just want off the team.
