AFA Kicks Off The 2007 Semi-Pro Football Season by Extending Its Team Liability Insurance Coverage to $2 Million
(PRWeb) January 5, 2007 -- To keep up with the recent request from organizations needing to extend their team's spectator liability coverage from $1 million to $2 million, the national association for semi-pro teams and leagues was able to secure that increase in coverage.
Wait, that's not all. Because of the number of years the AFA has been doing business with the Sadler and Company Insurance Agency the AFA earned, for its member teams, a $25 reduction in the cost of the annual policy premium. The new premium is now $450 per team, per year instead of the previous year's $475.
The new $2 million coverage will help teams whose school boards and municipal governments are insisting that the teams playing at their football facilities now carry the extended $2 million spectator liability insurance coverage.
In addition, the AFA insurance policy now covers all team activities that are scheduled, sanctioned, approved, organized and supervised by the named insured, including practices, tryouts, clinics, operation of concession stands at covered activities, games, playoffs, end of season tournaments, promotional appearances, awards banquets, ceremonies and meetings. Fund-raisers will still be required to be pre-approved.
All Semi-Pro (Amateur Adult Tackle Football) teams and leagues joining the American Football Association (AFA) for 2007 qualify for participation in the national association's insurance program. The Insurance Carrier for the AFA policy is the Great American Assurance Company and the policy is issued through K&K Insurance Group, Inc. K&K is one of the world's largest and most active insurance companies associated with amateur and professional sports. Through the cooperative efforts of both Sadler Sports and K&K Insurance, the AFA has managed to set its new policy effective dates to coincide with the national association's fiscal year of January 1st through December 31st of each year.
Teams wanting more information on the AFA's new Commercial General Liability Insurance program can contact Debbie at the Sadler Insurance Company sports department (800-622-7370) or via e-mail, or visit www.sadlersports.com/afa/index.html
The annual membership fee for joining the AFA is $100 per team. 2007 team membership applications are available via e-mail request from the AFA national office or by going to the AFA's website at www.AmericanFootballAssn.com.
