Parent Involvement


Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.



Insurance

** Update:  Contagion Exclusion Notice - On March 19, 2020 BC Soccer was informed by our Insurance Broker (SBC Insurance Agencies Ltd.) that Markel Canada (insurance underwriter) has issued a Contagion Exclusion which basically states that effective April 1, 2020 there is an exclusion on covering claims related to COVID-19. CLICK HERE to read the notice received.

All Players of PRYSA are covered under BC Soccer's Insurance Policy.  The policy offers both Liability Insurance and Sport Accident Insurance for our members.
 

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.

 

Sport Accident Insurance - Sport 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 eye glasses or contact lenses expense.

 

Please refer to BC Soccer's website for any additional claim and the specific insurer information.   https://www.bcsoccer.net/insurance
