Why do I need insurance for my Youth Athletes United franchise?
Youth Athletes United has minimum insurance standards its franchisees need to abide by; please refer to your franchisee agreement for more information. In addition to the minimum requirement, insurance protects your business and assets from common risks associated with running youth sports programs. Players Health provides an insurance benefit to Youth Athletes United franchisees with both General Liability coverage for your business and participant accident coverage for accidents that happen associated with sports.
How do I estimate the number of participants in my program?
It is recommended to estimate on the lower end. If you are a new franchise and in your first year, 100 participants would be a reasonable number to use to start.
What if my number of annual participants increases?
Please reach out to Players Health to get your participant number updated.
