Just a word to the wise!
The American Football Association wants to caution semi-pro football teams across the country that they may be in for a surprise if they wait until the last minute to secure their ‘certificate of insurance’ to present it to the facility operator or school board administrator at their local football field.
Be aware of the fact that the American Football Association’s liability insurance policy that was in effect for the past several years has changed for policies effecting the 2005 playing season. The new policy carries a one-year coverage date from April 6th, 2005 to April 1st, 2006 - regardless of a team’s playing season.
In order for an adult amateur (semi-pro) team to take advantage of this liability insurance coverage a team (or entire league) must be a ‘member-in-good-standing’ with the American Football Association. Inc. for the
2005 season. Team spectator liability coverage can be secured through the AFA’s insurance agent of record, John Sadler of the Sadler & Company Insurance Company of Columbia, SC. (800-622-7370). The cost for the AFA endorsed policy is $475 per team. The Sadler sports department will fax or e-mail proof of coverage within 6 business days after receipt of the insurance enrollment form - which includes payment ($475) in full.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only amateur adult football teams (semi-pro) who are member teams of the American Football Association and who have paid their 2005 AFA team membership fee of $100 for the 2005 season are eligible to participate in this liability insurance benefit program. AFA Team Memberships are obtainable by calling the AFA national office in Sarasota, Florida at (941) 388-3510. Payment for membership fees ($100) are payable through credit card transactions ONLY. No checks or money orders will be accepted after June 1st 2005.
Teams can download membership applications from the AFA website for a list of membership benefits. When contacting Sadler & Company - team administrators will be asked if they are AFA members. Before issuing a ‘certificate of insurance’, Sadler will check with the AFA national office to see if the inquiring team is a 2005 dues paying member of the American Football Association. No certificates of insurance will be issued to non-member teams.
