ContentDesk) March 30, 2006 — It wasn’t only the semi-pro football level of the sport that “took a hit” nearly a year ago when the insurance industry pulled the ‘turf’ out from under the adult amateur (semi-pro) tackle football organizations across the country — by announcing it would limit issuing General Liability Insurance policies for that level of the sport.
American Football Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and had a national team and league liability insurance policy in place for years through Sadler & Company, a major insurance carrier agreed to continue writing the AFA spectator liability coverage. This means, any adult amateur football team that qualifies for AFA Membership also qualifies to participate in the national associations $1,000,000 General Liability Insurance policy coverage.
Feb.1, 2006 thru Feb.1, 2007.”The word is spreading fast about the AFA’s ability to bring community and adult amateur football programs under our membership wing,” says AFA president Ron Real. “Several local type adult-tackle recreational football programs, as well as many semi-pro teams across the country, were unable to renew their liability policies for the 2006 season with their former insurance companies.These teams are now being referred to the American Football Association to help obtain coverage for their coming season.
