In the past, liability coverage for youth tackle football was either too costly, too limited, or not available at all. Individuals were either forced to pay extremely high insurance premiums or to run programs without proper insurance protection, therefore running the risk of personal exposure to lawsuits or a participant's injury claim.

However, now a comprehensive program has been developed to specifically cover the inherent risks involved in running a youth tackle football league or team. This Liability Insurance Program is designed to help eliminate the financial and emotional burden one can incur as a result of a lawsuit or participant injury claim.
