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.
