In addition, Participant/Accident Coverage is required for coaches and/or participants. Should an accident occur during a camp, clinic or event, this secondary coverage helps offset the loss suffered by families affected by such accidents.

NEW PROCEDURE FOR CAMP INSURANCE

Participant Waivers - Signed waivers must be in place for all participants attending camps. The waiver must have indemnification language and acknowledgement that primary medical insurance is in place for the participant.
Participant/Accident (Medical) - If you cannot secure such a waiver, you must purchase coverage for all participants attending your camp.

Proof of Insurance - If you require a certificate of insurance showing proof of insurance and you have the required waiver in place, you DO NOT have to purchase the Participant/Accident (Medical) coverage.
