ASA insurance

[CoogansBluff]

Can someone explain the difference between ASA team and ASA individual insurance? Does anyone know the cost of each? The pros and cons of each?

What if I have a team of players who each have ASA individual insurance and I use a pickup player who does not have ASA insurance. Is she covered?

What are the pros and cons of difference insurances that are out there?

Individual insurance covers the individual and team covers the team. The individual follows the player, where the team is just for that team, but also includes coaches and, I think, scorekeepers. Individual is part of the registration so that amount may vary by state/metro association.

Thanks, MTR. Sounds like you're saying teams have a choice to get team insurance or do it individually. I've been on the site, but haven't found it easy to find answers. ... I found the cost of indiv insurance ($23 or $37, depending on the deductible). Can't find it for team. Also want to know if team insurance would cover pick-up players who are not individually insured.

If you have registered your team as individual players and then add a pickup, you have to go in and add her as an individual, print an invoice and pay it.

Many of the ASA Associations push for individual registration. Plus you get a player photo ID card which is required to play in our State Tournament. (although I have experienced that it depends on who you are come tournament time. )

Roughly how much is the ASA team insurance, and does it cover pickup players?

Very good, thanks again. ... Sounds like it might vary quite a bit from state to state. I was quoted $23 for individual in Georgia. That might've been the policy + ASA registration. Not sure.

CB - I've been doing it in Georgia for years. Sign up the team, get individual insurance with the $250 deductible and make sure all your coaches are ACE certified with background checks. If you have any problems, contact Kim Hamilton or Katie Kay with Georgia ASA. They'll help you through it.

It covers you in any tournament - even non-ASA and is required for any ASA qualifier. If you need more help, just let me know.

Thanks, DL. ...

Why individual over team? Not doubting you, but I'm going to have to explain the differences to a travel organization that will be making these choices. Is it more expensive? Would it cover a pickup player?

Thanks again.

Choose team insurance if you have 5 or more teams in your organization and get the league rate of $97 for 12U & below/team and $141 for 14U & above/team. Otherwise you're money ahead with the individual.

Individual because that's what ASA requires if you are playing ASA qualifiers. It's the only way to get your roster signed off on. I believe it will cover a pick up in an ASA tournament, but you should check with the JO folks to confirm.
