Softball BC Insurance Program
Softball BC provides coverage to registered players/participants and member associations via our SBC Insurance (broker) and Markel (underwriter). Read the Softball BC Insurance Program Coverage Summary.
Liability Insurance
No matter how careful you are, accidents happen. You can be sued by anyone who claims injury or damages resulting from your activities. You may not be liable, but you will need to be defended in court. A liability policy will pay for this defence as well as any costs awarded against you. In short, liability insurance gives you peace of mind. All members of the organization are covered during sanctioned or authorized events.
A copy of Softball BC's Master Insurance Certificate is available here. You can request an addition to our Master COI to cover your indoor training, field permits or fundraising by using this link. Please allow for a minimum of 3 business days for any changes.

Participant Accident Insurance
Participant Accident Insurance is coverage for sanctioned practices and games. This includes items such as dental, physiotherapy, accident reimbursement, accidental death, fracture indemnity, rehabilitation indemnity, tuition fees reimbursement, emergency transportation benefit, and eyeglasses or contact lenses expense. SBC Insurance must receive notice of the accident within 30 days of the incident by completing the claim form—all documentation associated with the claim (i.e. must be submitted within 90 days of the accident).
