Customized for elite/travel leagues and teams with expensive registration fees
Sadler Sports and Recreation Insurance announces the development of a new insurance program with an A+ rated carrier for Sports Interruption Insurance. This program is customized to meet the needs of amateur elite/travel teams and any other teams with expensive registration fees.
Solves a common problem for both parents and the sports organization
Sports Interruption Insurance solves a common problem experienced by both teams/leagues and participants/parents. Registration fees can be expensive for elite/travel teams with registration fees commonly ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The team/leagues can’t afford to refund registration fees as they count on them to run their operations on an ongoing basis, not to mention the agonizing hardship requests. Participants/parents may be hesitant to pay expensive registration fees due to the risk of missing a large part of the season due to injury or illness.
Surprisingly affordable with rates as low as 1% to 2% of registration fees
Sports Interruption Insurance provides a surprisingly affordable solution. Teams/leagues can load their registration fees by as little as 1% to 2% for normal risk sports in order to pay the insurance premiums for this critical protection. Participants/parents will barely notice a 1% to 2% increase and this will solve a significant problem. It will also provide sports organizations with a competitive advantage over other organizations that don’t offer this vital protection.
Claim example illustrates the payout potential
This claim example for an injury where a participant misses part of the season will help you see the payout potential.
A soccer participant suffers a severe ankle sprain and is under the care of a doctor who provides a medical clearance to return after 45 days. The registration period is from August 1 to December 1 (122-day season). The injury occurs on August 15 and the participant returns on September 29 for an absence of 45 days. The registration fees are $2,500 and non refundable. Sports Interruption Insurance will pay as follows:
Days absent (45) ÷ days in registration period (122) X registration fees ($2,500) = $922.
Available for specified sports in all but six states
