The 51 high school athletic associations across the country (including Washington, D.C.) serve as the organizing and sanctioning body for nearly 8 million high school boys and girls. Exposures include promulgating and enforcing rules for member schools, conducting state championship events, participant liability, officials’ liability and injuries to athletic participants. In addition to property and casualty insurance solutions, our team can provide accident medical and catastrophic medical insurance solutions for all student athletes of a high school athletic association.
Minor league baseball is a major attraction around the country and the insurance exposures associated with these teams are endless. Common exposures include fan security, first aid, stadium maintenance, concessions and liquor sales, parking, fireworks, on-field fan participation and play zones for kids. We also help you think through some of the less identifiable exposures like, how does business income coverage play into a weekend home stand? Let our team of experienced professionals help you develop an insurance solution for the minor league team in your area.
National Governing Bodies (NGBs) serve as a governing body of their sport, ranging from amateur athletes all the way to the Olympic team that represents the United States at the Summer Olympics, Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. American Specialty has been insuring NGBs since 1995, so we bring many years of experience and expertise in this niche. Let us help you identify and develop a customized solution for volunteers, coaches and officials, sexual abuse and participant injuries.
We provide insurance designed for individual professional sports teams or can customize a league-wide insurance solution. Our professional sports team/league program focuses on baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse and other traditional sports, but we can also provide insurance solutions for non-traditional sports like e-sports teams and leagues. Exposures can vary in size and complexity, but whether you are looking to insure a team or league, make sure you’re working with our team of conditioned professionals to get you the coverage you need!
Roughly three out of four school-aged children play at least one organized sport—that’s 45 million kids playing athletics in the United States! Amateur sports associations can range from grassroots, multi-sport associations to a national sanctioning body that focuses on a single sport. Just like every association is different, there is no one-size-fits-all to insurance. Bodily injury, sexual abuse, volunteers, property damage to facilities that host the events…the risks to identify and mitigate can be intimidating if you’re not working with a seasoned team. Let American Specialty help you out.
Sports Commissions work with state and local government to bring regional or national sporting events and attractions to their local geographic area. Common exposures include fan safety, vendors and exhibitors, injuries to athletic participants, volunteers, vehicle rentals for VIP use and more.
Every weekend across the country, sports complexes are home to youth and adult tournaments and events. During the week, they host league play, open gyms and private rentals. Liability exposures include participant injuries, concession and liquor sales, in-house leagues, special events, individual sports instruction and more! Complexes that are designed around indoor soccer, basketball and volleyball are most common. We also insure complexes that are focused on more niche sports like pickleball, bocce ball and squash. Have a sports complex that offers all of the above? We’re here for that too!
