Certificates of Insurance (COI)
Certificates of Insurance for NYSWYSA member clubs are available for the 2026-27 seasonal year (September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027).
Before Requesting a Certificate
Please ensure that all applicable players and personnel are properly registered with NYSWYSA through GotSport and that all applicable registration fees and outstanding balances have been paid before requesting a Certificate of Insurance.
In accordance with the NYSWYSA Registration Policy:
“Member clubs will be given access to the GotSport Registration Program for a new seasonal year and receive a new Certificate of Insurance (COI) only if they have provided all registration data and paid all moneys owed.”
Before submitting your request, please log in to your club’s GotSport Club Management page to review registrations, ensure all registrations have been submitted, and confirm that all required payments have been completed.
Important: Clubs may request a Certificate of Insurance in advance when needed to secure a facility. However, receipt of a COI does not replace the requirement to properly register all applicable players and personnel with NYSWYSA through GotSport and complete all required payments before participating in or conducting club activities. Receipt of a COI alone does not establish insurance coverage.
REQUEST A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
Managing Risk: Please Read
- There is “NO” coverage available to NYS West member clubs that sell/serve alcohol at tournament activities under the general liability policy issued to NYSWYSA.
- If alcohol is being sold/served, the club should have this done by an outside entity (i.e. caterers) with the club and NYSWYSA being named as an additional insured under their liquor liability policy. Minimum liability limits should be $1,000,000. Certificate evidencing such must be provided.
- If fireworks activities are being considered, the firm needs to again provide a certificate of liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000. The Club and NYSWYSA needs to be named as an Additional Insured under their general liability insurance policy. There is no liability coverage to NYSWYSA for claims arising out of fireworks. The underwriter for NYSWYSA is not interested in these liability exposures and has excluded coverage for liquor liability and liability arising from fireworks.
Please take this into consideration when planning after game celebrations this season!**
