Arizona ASA. Bollinger Insurance provides coverage in the amount of
$5,000,000.00.
This insurance is PRIMARY. ASA will defend your agency in the event
of any/all bodily injury lawsuits, provided all teams and all umpires
involved in the ASA sanctioned activity are also registered ASA, and
teams participating utilize ASA identified “hold & harmless” team
rosters.
Arizona ASA would love to discuss registration and ASA sanctioning
with agencies in our State, not currently part of the Arizona ASA team.

JO TEAM & INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION
INFORMATION
Arizona ASA encourages
all Junior Olympic Girl's fast-pitch teams to register ASA. All team
managers should guarantee their players are provided individual accident
insurance. Arizona ASA strongly supports the ASA National Insurance
Agency, Bollinger . Consult with an Arizona ASA JO Commissioner to
explore options available. Traveling teams in both Class A & B will
benefit by purchasing Individual Player Accident Coverage. Teams may
elect to purchase one of two "deductibles" offered. Arizona ASA
recommends the "Zero" deductible plan.
Recreational Teams can either purchase
Individual Player Insurance or Team Insurance. Recreational teams not
purchasing individual insurance can contact Bollinger on-line, with
State Commissioner approval. Team Accident rates will be made available.
All teams must be registered ASA in order to purchase ASA Bollinger
Insurance. Team registration is $25.00. Unless approved by the State
Commissioner, ASA registered teams must be a member of an ASA League,
comprised of 4 or more teams.
When teams obtain Bollinger Insurance,
their team is still covered against bodily injury, even when they
compete in non-ASA sanctioned tournaments. Only ASA provides this
insurance.
For only $22.00 per calendar year, each ASA
team member, covered by the Individual Registration, Zero deductible
Bollinger plan, will be adequately protected in the event of injury, and
they will receive Player ID Cards. When competing in Arizona ASA
sanctioned Invitational, State, Regional, National Qualifying, and
National Championship Play, teams must provide Tournament Directors with
proof of player eligibility. Individual Player ID's guarantee "Fair
Play".
When comparing "Apples and Apples", ASA
Bollinger Insurance is simply Undefeated!!
