I am starting a girls fastpitch softball travel troop and necessitate liability insurance to enter tournaments?

Answers: If you receive insurance from AAU OR NSA they only cover their tournaments if you get it from ASA they cover every tournament from every sponser
I guess 'need' is rather strong a word, but as the manager you are responsible--if any teammates sue, they sue you! You could try to get by lacking it, and it helps if you have nation sign the "I understand that you can get hurt playing ball" waiver, but insurance is the merely way to be sure you aren't left holding the pack if someone decides to sue.

I know that insurance doubles the cost of a league, but softball is relatively inexpensive anyway--can you pass the cost on to the squad? Source(s): Used to manage softball teams (until it wasn't fun anymore)
you can get insurance from a local company or agent...however you can join the AAU and they cover you.
