Common Coverage Gaps for Tucson Basketball Orgs

Many Tucson Basketball organizations assume they're covered when they're not. Watch out for these gaps:

No accident medical coverage — general liability won't pay your injured athlete's hospital bill
Volunteer activities excluded — some policies don't extend to volunteer coaches and helpers
Travel gaps — Tucson clubs traveling to away games may not be covered under a basic local policy
Abuse & molestation excluded — this is often a separate coverage that must be added explicitly
