TEAM REGISTRATION


To register your team, you may choose one of two options:

1.) Choose the first registration option if all of the teams in your division, league or organization will register for ASA insurance. Your fee is $45 per team in your group.

2.) Choose the second option if only your team will register or just some of the teams in your division, league or organization will register for ASA insurance. Your fee is $45 for your team plus $15 per game you play to cover your opponents.  

$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
$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 or $500 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, 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 group coverage for a mere $45 per team or individual player coverage for $24 per player which protects 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.

If your group would like a reduced deductible, contact the CSL Commissioner for further pricing details. An additional $10 per team (total of $55 per team) can reduce the $500 deductible to a $250 deductible for player injury coverage.

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 players has a $500 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 ANY OF YOUR PLAYERS HAS NO HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OF ANY KIND, THE CSL's INSURANCE AGREEMENT WILL PROVIDE PRIMARY MEDICAL/INJURY COVERAGE (with a $500 deductible) FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.
