This page lists how to register as a kickball player from any kickball league.

If you want to play in the Congressional Softball League, go back a page and select the other player link.

Below explains in detail fees, this type of registration option and kickball insurance.

THE KICKBALL ENTRY FEE IS A FLAT $24 per player RATE FOR PLAYERS WHO CAN BE ON ANY KICKBALL TEAM ROSTER OR KICKBALL PLAYER POOL AS A FREE AGENT.

NOTE THAT WE DO NOT become involved in the organization or administration of any kickball league or team. After you register through this web site, WE CANNOT REFUND YOUR FEE ONCE WE SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

SO, PLEASE BE PREPARED by reading this page carefully before registering on the next page.

INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION PROCESS

The fee for each kickball player is $24. If your kickball team has already registered with us, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER. You will be covered under that team policy.

To register, your kickball category name will appear from a list of teams in a drop-down menu on the next page for you to choose. Select "Kickball Pool," the second choice in the list of team names in the drop-down menu.

You have two options to pay: mail a check or to use PayPal (credit card through PayPal or your existing account). If you have any doubts, delay registering and contact the Commissioner for more information.

YOUR EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY

On the next page you will enter your personal information. The CSL will ONLY use your information for the Commissioner to contact you...to mail your ID card or contact you if necessary. If you register as a free agent under any of our player pools and someone wants to contact you, the CSL Commissioner will contact you first to see how to relay the information to you...your preferences are your choice.

PLAYER REGISTRATION

Regardless of how you register...in the Congressional Softball League (CSL) or as a kickball player...you are covered by insurance as outlined on this page. Your registration, also enters you in the ASA, and covers you for an entire calendar year and for any ASA or USA team on which you play throughout the United States.

IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE INSURANCE

Through an agreement between the CSL and ASA, we are able to provide liability insurance for teams to qualify for field permits and provide affordable accident or injury insurance for players. The registration process can be based on either a team or per-player basis.

ALL PLAYERS, SPONSORS, FIELD OWNERS, COACHES, UMPIRES, SCOREKEEPERS AND ANYONE REGISTERED for kickball automatically receives ASA Bollinger health/accident and property/injury liability insurance. Through this registration arrangement, you will receive an ASA identification card as proof of coverage.

The insurance will cover each player for ANY team (or multiple teams) they play on this season and is valid throughout the nation while the player participates in ANY league under ASA or USA sanctions during practices, clinics, games or tournaments for an entire calendar year. The insurance will remain in effect on a yearly basis and is automatically renewable next season through CSL.

Remember, this insurance is portable, and coverage stays with a registered player regardless of the number of teams or where that player participates throughout the nation for the remainder of the calendar year.

$250,000 Player Accident Injury Insurance Plan

Under this ASA Plan, coverage extends to covered injuries incurred by
participants while practicing or playing in games. For Clinics,
coverage applies to participants while taking part in clinic
activities at the designated clinic site. The policy does not cover
travel or off-premises activities under this plan.

The Accident policy provides the following benefits:

$250,000 Accident Medical limit per claim
$5,000 Accidental Death benefit
$10,000 Accidental Dismemberment Benefits Principal Sum
$2,500 Physical Therapy/Chiropractic limit ($100 per visit)
$1,000 Durable Medical Equipment Limit
Full Excess Coverage
52-Week Benefit Period
$0, $250 or $500 Deductible per claim...depending on your plan

This policy is written on an Excess basis, which means that the
policy is secondary over any other valid and collectible insurance or
health plan that a player may have. Therefore, you need to submit your
expenses to your own medical benefit plan first, for this policy to
consider your claim.

If you have no other coverage in force, this policy will pay your
claim as Primary, subject to the $250 deductible. The policy
only covers medical and dental expenses, which are incurred
during the Benefit Period – within 52 weeks of the date of injury.

$5,000,000 Liability Insurance Plan

This ASA Liability Insurance Plan provides protection
for lawsuits and court judgments that may result from bodily
injury and property damage claims arising out of your operations.

The policy limits are:

$5,000,000 per Occurrence limit
$8,000,000 Aggregate limit per Location
$2,000,000 Products/Completed Operations aggregate
$2,000,000 Advertising/Personal Injury limit
$2,000,000 Sexual Abuse limit per occurrence
$2,000,000 Sexual Abuse limit aggregate
$300,000 Fire Legal Liability
$10,000 Medical Payments (to non-participants)
$0 or $500 Deductible per claim...depending on your plan

The policy includes Participants Liability, which is one of the most
important aspects of Liability coverage for sports organizations.

Who is covered under this policy?
♦ Organizers
♦ Officials
♦ Participating Teams or Players
♦ Individual Team Members
♦ Field Owners (as Additional Insureds, if requested)
♦ Sponsors

To provide the most comprehensive coverage for your participants, the insurance company suggests that Liability Insurance coverage should be combined with the Player Accident Injury Insurance Plan.

WHY INSURANCE?

Last year, in the Congressional Softball League, a player collided at home plate and broke several teeth requiring nearly $6,000 of restorations. In the past, our insurance policy paid out claims amounting to thousands of dollars for property like a Mercedes dented by a foul ball, personal injury for reconstructive knee surgery for a player with no other health insurance, plastic surgery for another player's broken nose from a line drive and for less serious accidents to other players as well as for injuries to passersby on the Mall.

Surprisingly, the league previously faced (but thankfully avoided) a multi-million dollar suit, not once, but TWICE when tourists were hit by errant balls on the Mall. One of those incidents was rather severe when a tourist was knocked unconscious by a hard hit softball that had become like a missile. Therefore, we are proud to be able to provide affordable coverage for a mere $24, players pay to protect everyone's interests (sponsors, field owners, players, umpires, the team and the league) during the season with both personal injury and liability insurance through ASA.

The liability insurance will provide general spectator liability coverage of $5,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with $5,000 medical payment for non-participants with NO deductibles, but more importantly, covers the team as an entity, captains, players, umpires and sponsors who may be individually named in a suit from spectators or passersby.

The accidental injury medical coverage for KICKBALL players has a $250 deductible. The medical coverage is $250,000 per claim as primary coverage for players without health insurance...or as an excess benefit plan for players who already have a health insurance policy. The Medical insurance covers umpires, full-time players, coaches, managers and scorekeepers for accidental injuries during games, practices, tournaments or during group travel as a team. The policy also covers medical and dental bills incurred during a 52-week benefit period from the date of injury.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OF ANY KIND, THE CSL's KICKBALL INSURANCE AGREEMENT WILL PROVIDE PRIMARY MEDICAL/INJURY COVERAGE (with a $250 deductible) FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.
