I  HAVE  READ  THIS  RELEASE  OF  LIABILITY  AND  ASSUMPTION  OF  RISK  AGREEMENT.  I  FULLY  UNDERSTAND  ITS  TERMS,  AND  I  UNDERSTAND THAT  I  HAVE  GIVEN  UP  SUBSTANTIAL  RIGHTS  BY  SIGNING  IT,  AND  I  SIGN  IT  FREELY  AND  VOLUNTARILY  WITHOUT  ANY  INDUCEMENT.

 Insurance Coverage

The MDCVSA currently provides Participant Accident Insurance (secondary coverage) to leagues that purchase it.  Participant Accident Insurance generally covers medical expenses (within limits) for injuries sustained during sanctioned amateur soccer activities. Participant Accident Insurance is secondary coverage to a member’s primary insurance.  If no primary insurance exists, then this becomes their primary insurance coverage. The Insurance carrier asks that Claims be filed within 30 days of the date of the injury, but may sometimes allow up to 60 days from the date of the incident for the claim to be received.
