You must purchase the same coverage as the league you skate with. By purchasing coverage through WFTDA insurance, you acknowledge and verify that your league also has WFTDA insurance. If you aren’t sure, contact your league before proceeding to purchase.
If you are not affiliated with a league, coverage is only valid when you skate with a WFTDA insured league. This helps us ensure you are adhering to the applicable risk management guidelines.
Failure to adhere to the applicable risk management guidelines for the sport in which you are participating, will result in denial of claims and may result in revocation of coverage.
If injured, it is your responsibility to submit the initial injury report within 14 days.

Injury reports MUST be submitted online. Your league may assist you, but ultimately, it is your responsibility. Failure to submit your initial injury report within the allowable grace period will result in the denial of your claim.
