High School Athletic Associations Insurance Program
High school athletic associations set standards for safety, competition and fairness across scholastic sports. American Specialty Insurance & Risk Services offers a tailored insurance program for these organizations — combining admitted capacity, program-specific forms, and underwriting expertise to help agents place complex scholastic-athletics risks.

State and regional athletic associations
Seasonal and statewide tournaments
Fundraisers, banquets and all-star games
Scholastic competitions and intramural programs

If you represent a state association, an event organizer, or a school district that runs multi-day tournaments, this program is designed to match those exposures.
