With the new season beginning and many tournaments around the corner I wanted to ensure everyone is aware of the insurance policy regarding US Club tournaments and friendlies.

For those teams and clubs participating in US Club Sanctioned tournaments and friendlies please be advised that MYSA does not provide secondary insurance for players or teams participating in non MYSA sanctioned tournaments or events, however according to the US Club website non US Club teams can purchase optional insurance.

There is liability and medical insurance coverage for all US Club Soccer teams and participants. Also, there is optional tournament insurance available for the entire tournament or for individual non-US Club Soccer teams that are having trouble getting insurance to attend from their State Association. Information on tournament-wide insurance can be found in the "Members Only" area of the web site. Individual teams in need of more information regarding insurance can find it here.

OPTIONAL TOURNAMENT INSURANCE: If you are having a problem getting insurance coverage from your state association to attend a US Club Soccer sanctioned tournament, you may obtain insurance from US Club Soccer $50/team. This provides insurance only, and you do not attend as a US Club Soccer tournament team member. There is a limit of 26 players per team. Under this program, the team still gets travel permission, if required, from its state, and uses its own USYS player cards, but is covered by the US Club Soccer insurance policy. In most cases, this should be all that is needed. Please note that once your request has been submitted, NO refunds will be issued.
Please check with the hosting organization to ensure the tournament is properly insured so that you protect not only your players but your clubs.
