INSURANCE
All member leagues and clubs of the British Columbia Soccer Association are covered by a single BCSA insurance policy. The general liability coverage is $5,000,000 for each occurrence, and covers players, coaches, managers, officials, members, volunteers and employees. Our advice is that "volunteer" is deemed to be any person carrying out the duties given them by the club, or an authorized person of the club (such as a coach). It is also that the coverage applies to "sanctioned association events" such as the annual soccer dance and annual coaches meetings, but not team-sponsored events such as season wind up parties. There is no coverage under this policy for accidents resulting from a volunteer parent transporting players to and from games or practices unless it is by non-owned automobile i.e. bus or rented van. Volunteer drivers should ensure that their own third party liability coverage obtained through ICBC is sufficient (our insurer"s recommendation is that this coverage should be $10,000,000). A summary of the policy follows:
