General Liability Insurance will be part of the membership benefit for those coaches who have completed Coaching Course Level 1 provided by USA Football. This insurance provides coverage for amateur youth (18 and under) football related activities.
"Coaches - particularly volunteer coaches - are the backbone of America's favorite sport," says USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenbeck. "The best way to help keep football strong is to provide our coaches with resources they need to become even better instructors and mentors.
"USA Football's coaches insurance is an example of how we go the extra yard to keep this great sport at the top of its game. Coaches are tireless, ensuring that their players and their players' parents enjoy positive football experiences. We're in the huddle with the 450,000 men and women who coach football and are proud to do our part to move the ball up-field together."
