The PSAL, as an office of the Department of Education, participates in the
City of New York's self-insured retention program which includes coverage for
all interscholastic public high school teams representing the Public Schools
Athletic League.
In regard to accidental injury to individual student-athletes, an insurance
carrier, currently The Maksin Group administers a program under which all PSAL
participants, including coaches, staff members, players and student managers,
are insured.
All Principals, Athletic Directors and Coaches are reminded that a
separate Insurance Book, which is considered a legal
document, must be actively maintained for every team.
The information in the book must be updated and accurate at all times. It should
always be available for review by administrators and auditors.
For every student who tries out for a team the following information must be
maintained:
|
Last Name |
First Name |
Date of Parent Consent |
Date of Medical |
Date of Tryout |
Drop Date |
Emergency Phone # |
Date & Nature of injury |
The outside cover of the book should include the school name, sport
and seasons covered.

The first page for each season should include the name of the sport

The "Insurance Book" must be a bound notebook or computer generated pages
kept in a binder or folder. A separate book must be maintained for each team
including each track season (cross country, indoor track and outdoor track). The
book should be monitored by the Athletic Director and constantly updated by
Coaches. It should be kept in the Athletic Director's files and copies
of the current seasons' information must be given to each Coach. Coaches should
have these copies with them at all games and practices. Insurance
Books must be retained in school files for the period of time
designated by Chancellor's Regulation.
