Players Health Insurance for Teams
Alliance Athlete Membership includes participant insurance through Players Health.
Teams can request Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from the Alliance once they have a minimum of 9 players on their roster. Head coaches can email insurance@thealliancefastpitch.com to request their COI.
Players Health covers all rostered players and coaches -- meaning players on the roster who have registered and paid for their Alliance membership.
This insurance will be accepted at the majority of tournaments within League Schedules and all Alliance National Events. Some associations may require additional insurance or other items. We recommend coaches always consult with the tournament host.

What if I already have Insurance through USA Softball or an additional insurance?

This will allow you to play in the majority of tournaments within League schedules and will allow you the coverage you need for the AFCS and AFON.
If you have already purchased additional team insurance from another association, this will not affect your Alliance Membership.
