I am a coach of a travelling 3rd grade team in Iowa. We have just started getting into playing tournaments and scrimmage games at area high schools, working with other coaches. It has worked out well. I recently ran into a snag when we were trying to play at an area high school. They requested that we have insurance. I am somewhat familiar with this, my boys also play baseball and are affiliated with USSSA and they have a nice insurance policy.

My question is this: does anyone know of a national affiliation or maybe even an Iowa affiliation where we can get some team insurance? Has anyone else coaching youth teams ran into this issue?

I was looking at joining USSSA for basketball, but noticed they don't have much for tournaments for basketball in Iowa.

Any ideas??

Thanks.

AAU and USBA both offer insurance with membership.
