USA Softball is committed to the goal of providing accident and liability insurance for all participants in the Junior Olympic (youth) program. The only way this can be accomplished is to individually register each participant in the program, including players, managers, coaches, assistant coaches and scorekeepers. Most other National Governing Bodies of youth sport programs individually register their participants, mainly for the insurance benefits individual registration provides. Therefore, to ensure that our youth players receive the insurance protection they need, USA Softball will be converting to individual registration (as opposed to team registration) for the Junior Olympic Program. Individual Registration will also be available to Adult teams and leagues in certain areas.
Individual Registration includes:
* One year Membership in the National Governing Body of Softball
* USA Softball Membership Card
* Copy of Balls and Strikes Magazine
* Discounts on official licensed merchandise
Insurance:
* $5,000,000 Liability Insurance, plus $250,000 Excess Accident Medical Insurance. The Excess Medical Expense Insurance may be subject to a per injury deductible and applies to accident medical treatment incurred up to 52 weeks after the date of injury.
* Coverage follows the individual throughout the calendar year for all USA Softball activities, even if you change to another USA Softball team.
* Coverage extends to the team as an insured entity if all team members register individually.
* Coverage extends to the leagues as an insured entity, as well as to league officers, if all league members register individually.
