Insurance Requirements

WFTDA requires its Member Leagues and skating participants (skaters and skating officials) in the United States and Canada to have insurance that covers roller derby activities. Leagues need a minimum of $2 million in commercial general liability coverage and $10,000 in personal accident, plus liability coverage for skaters. Skaters must also purchase a policy with the same provider as their league. Leagues and participants visiting from outside of the U.S. are required to have insurance when participating in games in the U.S.

Member Leagues may insure through WFTDA’s subsidiary, WFTDA Insurance (WFTDI), or choose their own insurer, as long as the minimum requirements listed above are met.

Member leagues in Canada may insure through WFTDI Canada. There are specific requirements for Canadian leagues playing in the United States. Please check with your insurer for details.

Leagues based outside of the U.S. should follow their local requirements. Insurance is required for games in the United States. Please make sure that your travel insurance covers roller derby activities for the amounts listed above.
