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

Volunteer activities excluded — some policies don't extend to volunteer coaches and helpers
Travel gaps — Irving 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
