Coaches/Officials
Accidents Happen. YBOA’s excess medical coverage helps fill the gaps between the high costs of medical care and what primary insurance plans will pay. This plan covers coaches and officials for their YBOA activities and for any other coaching and officiating they may do, with the exception of high school and college coaching and officiating. Why wait? Sign up now. Event Operators It can be extremely difficult and expensive to obtain insurance coverage for individual tournaments, camps and other basketball events. Yet if insurance is not obtained, the personal assets of the individuals conducting the event may be at risk. Many owners of sports facilities, especially municipalities and schools, will not permit the use of their property or facilities unless it can be demonstrated that both they and the entity/individuals conducting the event are covered under an insurance policy. Without insurance, the opportunity for amateur athletes to compete in organized sports programs is substantially limited. Got Questions? Visit us at www.yboa.org or call 407-363-9262.
