THE MEMBER INSURANCE PLAN
The US Lacrosse Insurance Program has been developed by the US
Lacrosse Insurance/Risk Management Committee and Bollinger
Insurance to establish high quality insurance standards for the sport
and to provide protection to all registered members of US Lacrosse
during the term of their membership. Insurance is provided on an
individual basis to each member Coach, Referee/Umpire, Youth,
High School and Adult Player, while participating in amateur lacrosse
activities.
All policies are underwritten by Markel Insurance Company, rated “A”
Excellent by A.M. Best’s.
A secondary goal of the program is to promote risk management and
loss control in order to increase safety awareness among US
Lacrosse members.

expenses that are not recoverable from any other insurance policy,
health care plan or employee benefit plan. Please note that you
must follow your primary insurance carrier’s eligibility criteria (to be
treated in-network, if required by HMO, etc.) in order for this policy to
cover your expenses. If no other coverage is available, this policy
will pay the claim on a primary basis, after the deductible has been
taken.
