The Short Answer
Maryland youth sports organizations are subject to insurance requirements set by state park systems, school districts, and municipal recreation departments. While Maryland does not have a single statewide sports insurance mandate, proof of liability coverage is a practical requirement for accessing virtually any field or facility in the state.
The standard minimum for general liability in Maryland is $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate. Many parks and school districts in Maryland require organizations to name the municipality or district as an additional insured on the certificate of insurance.
Beyond general liability, Maryland sports organizations should carry accident medical coverage to address participant injury costs, abuse & molestation coverage to protect against claims involving minors, and Directors & Officers insurance to shield organization leadership from governance-related claims.
