What is Season Saver insurance?

Sports parents sacrifice and pay a small fortune for their kids to play on competitive and travel sports teams. But when the child is injured or gets sick, teams don’t usually offer refunds.  We can. With a Season Saver season interruption policy from pomi, if you (up to age 26) or your child misses all or part of the season, pomi can help by reimbursing you  up to 100% of the unused portion of your team registration fees. 

Who needs Season Saver insurance?
Any parent with a child participating in sports or an adult up to age 26 participating in sports should consider season interruption coverage.  It’s reasonably priced, starting at just $10, and can help protect your financial investment made to the team.  You don’t have to worry about flushing your money down the drain if an injury or illness happen.  
What cancellation reasons are covered?

Covered reasons for cancellation include injury (like a broken bone or concussions) or an illness (like the flu or appendicitis).  

What fees are covered?
A Season Saver season interruption policy can pay you back up to 100% of the unused, nonrefundable portion of team registration fees as well as other fees paid directly to the team, like uniform fees. 
What is the maximum amount I can be reimbursed?

The maximum limit that can be reimbursed is $25,000.

Does this policy cover a season-ending pandemic like COVID-19?

This policy covers a cancellation if the player contracts COVID-19 and cannot participate. This policy does not offer coverage if the season is canceled due to COVID-19 or another pandemic. 

When does coverage start?

Coverage starts as 12:01am the day after you’ve purchased your policy.

Explain how I get my team fees refunded.
Let’s say you paid $6000 for your child to play on a hockey team. The season is 6 months long yet half way through, your child suffers a concussion and misses the remaining three months.  Once you file a claim and provide proper documentation, we can refund you the unused, nonrefundable portion of your team registration fees, which in this case would be 3 months worth or $3000.  If the season is missed entirely, 100% of your fees could be reimbursed.
Is there a maximum age?
The maximum age for a Season Saver policy is 26.

Explain how Player Protect can help me save money on medical and dental bills.
Player Protect was designed to help sports parents saving on the rising cost of healthcare. Sports injuries happen often and, usually, your primary health insurance doesn’t cover everything.  With Player Protect, you don’t have to settle for paying out of pocket for those unexpected expenses.  We can help pay for the medical and dental expenses associated with the sports injury. Example, your son is a pitcher and tears his UCL. Doctor visits, MRIs and rehab total $12,000. Your primary health care pays for $8,000 leaving $4,000 left over for you to cover.  With Player Protect, we can help pay that $4,000.
