We pay for our own insurance to cover the teams and our off-season events. Coverage isn't just for accidents but also (and in some ways more importantly) for mentor liability. No one thinks it will happen, but just picture the consequences if your mentors are sued by a parent for a student's injury (or worse).
Do a search on the lawsuit over a cheerleader's death in Hawaii in 2008 or so if you want a reality check.

She's abolutely right! and yes 4H will cover insurance
