The challenge today

A great registration experience shouldn’t end with a refund request.

Injuries, illness, weather, and other unexpected events are part of youth and amateur sports. When participants can’t compete, organizers are often left managing refund requests, payment disputes, and difficult customer conversations. By giving participants the opportunity to protect their registration during checkout, your platform helps set clear expectations before disruptions occur.

The right time to offer protection is during registration.

Registration is when families are already making decisions about the season ahead. By embedding protection directly into that experience, your platform can offer it at the moment it’s most relevant without interrupting the registration process or sending participants somewhere else.



Increase Participation: Offer protection when families are registering, helping them commit with greater peace of mind.



Keep Registration Simple: Participants can add protection without leaving your platform or interrupting the registration experience.



We Handle the Rest: From licensing and compliance to claims and customer support, we manage the insurance program so your team can stay focused on serving leagues and organizations.
