Frequently Asked Questions
Does general liability cover participant injuries?
No. Standard GL typically excludes participant injuries in athletic activities. Sports events require specific participant accident coverage.
What about injuries during practice vs. competition?
Comprehensive sports programs cover both practice and competition. Verify your policy includes all organized activities, not just game days.
Do I need coverage for volunteer coaches?
Yes. Volunteer coaches should be covered under your liability policy as additional insureds, and D&O coverage protects their decision-making.
What limits are required for youth sports?
Most facilities require $1M-$2M general liability. Participant accident limits vary by sport and age group — contact sports and youth programs may need higher limits.
Is abuse and molestation coverage included?
This coverage is critical for youth programs and must be specifically addressed. Our sports program includes A&M coverage with appropriate limits.
