IMPORTANT TEAM INSURANCE INFORMATION:
1) IFA has contracted through Wilson Sports Insurance for team insurance coverage at a fantastic $60 rate for 2010. This team insurance is for medical and liability in all amateur softball play through the 18U division, regardless of the sanctioning body. If your IFA insurance is denied by another sanctioning body, it is because of their preference, not because of your policy coverage.
2) All IFA sanctioned tournaments will recognize team insurance coverage from any sanctioning body with additionally insured certificates. IFA "does not" require our registered teams to purchase IFA team insurance, as it is optional. It is our philosophy that team insurance should never be used as a political tool.
3) As of February 11, 2010, Wilson Sports Insurance was contracted to provide liability coverage "ONLY" for any team participating in an IFA sanctioned tournament, whose sanctioning body pulls that portion of their coverage from their team insurance policy.

The Independent Fastpitch Association organization will strive to provide the youth of today with opportunities through fastpitch softball to expand their lives in the future. By guiding this youth with the promotion of fair play, teamwork, healthy competition, sportsmanship, leadership and the respect of others will remain a major goal of this group. Fastpitch softball can be used as a discipline to encourage hard work, self-responsibility, dedication and encourage the pursuit of a quality education. This organization will strive to always do what is right for the teams, regardless of the pressures from those individuals that may want to gain political monetary advantages. Our motto will be “always do what is right and be honest”. It is our goal that this philosophy reaches all teams under our watch.
