Insurance
Individual CoverageRegistered members are covered by USA Volleyball’s sport accident policy. Liability coverage does not protect a club or its administrators during practices, tournaments, or tryouts unless every participating member is fully registered. Injuries during a tournament require an Incident Report Form returned to the SCSN office.
Certificates of InsuranceCOIs naming facilities as additional insureds are available from USA Volleyball, typically within three to four weeks. Submit requests in writing with the club name and all facility names and addresses to [email protected].
Non-SCSN Events & TryoutsUSAV insurance applies only to sanctioned activities — it is not in force for independent camps or clinics.At tryouts, athletes should show proof of 2025–2026 membership; those without one may purchase a tryout membership and upgrade later.
Forms & Documents

Print, complete, and keep these on file as required. Do not send completed medical release forms to SCSN; return Incident Report Forms to the SCSN office.
