HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

21 Jun HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

In the blink of an eye, a high school football player can suffer a severe concussion, or a cheerleader can suffer a broken leg. What would you do in that case? How would you deal with that financial and emotional burden? The answer lies in our High School Athletic insurance policy.

Given the dangers of high school athletics, football players, cheerleaders, and other athletes pay a lot of attention to safety. Many of their parents pay for supplemental insurance as a safeguard.

According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, each year, more than 7 million high school students participate in athletic events. Of those students, more than 5 million have accidental injury insurance policies to cover muscle pulls, broken bones, and even paralysis or death. Are you worried about this ratio for sports-related injuries? Well, with our insurance policies, you don’t have to.

Typically, state athletic associations require their member schools or school districts to offer a minimum amount of insurance coverage for each student participating in extracurricular activities. This coverage usually is paid for by a student’s parents, although some districts help with the costs.

A student who is on their parents’ health insurance policy normally isn’t required to be covered by supplemental accident insurance. Contact us now to learn more about our insurance policies for high school athletic sports.
