The Hillsborough County School Board is very interested in providing a safe environment for all students. However, accidents do happen during athletic practices and games, and JROTC. The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA.com) requires all student athletes to have basic accident insurance prior to participation in school sports.  To assure that all athletes, JROTC have access to basic accident insurance, the Hillsborough County School Board requires all students/parents to pay a sports participation/activity fee before they will be allowed to condition, practice or compete in Hillsborough County interscholastic sports or other specified activities. The Activity Fee will include access to basic accident insurance for all the student athletes while participating in season try-outs, practices and games that are sanctioned and scheduled by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). School Insurance of Florida will help with the collection of the activity participation fees by allowing students to pay online through this website. This website describes the coverage available to students participating in Athletics and JROTC activities.

2023 SUMMER & OFF-SEASON CONDITIONING The basic insurance will provide coverage during the 2023 summer conditioning and off-season conditioning as defined by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). Conditioning is defined as: 'Weight Training' meaning the use of free weights and stationary apparatus. 'Cardiovascular Conditioning' meaning distance and interval training. 'Plyometrics' meaning the use of pre-set conditioning programs. 'Conditioning' is not teaching sport specific skills and drills, and does not involve the use of sport specific equipment (i.e. starting blocks, hurdles, rebounders, summer leagues, summer practices, summer games, summer drills, club sports or private leagues. No coverage is provided for off-season practices, drills, open gym or scrimmages. Only summer conditioning, as defined, is an eligible activity during the summer months.

Insurance Coverage for the regular sports practices and games becomes effective on the first day of FHSAA practice, or the date the student begins practice, whichever is later. To review the policy terms, benefits and exclusions click here. Offseason practices or open gyms, club sports and charter schools are not covered under the basic insurance plan. The basic accident insurance plan, that is included in the activity fee, is not intended to replace family insurance policies and is not primary insurance coverage. The basic insurance will not pay for 100% of all medical expenses. If you have other primary insurance, the school policy will help pay some of the expenses such as deductibles, co-insurance and dental expenses that are not covered by your family insurance policy. The basic accident insurance is in effect during FHSAA approved sports practices and games that are directly supervised by a Hillsborough County School District employee. The school policy coverage will begin on May 30, 2023 and terminates on the last official FHSAA game of the sports season or May 29, 2024, whichever is first.

The basic insurance plan will not pay for 100% of all medical charges incurred and is not designed to replace family insurance or primary insurance plans.

COVERAGE EFFECTIVE AND TERMINATION DATES

If a student has paid the required Sports Fee before the first day of a school sponsored, school supervised FHSAA athletic practice, the coverage goes into effect on the first day of sanctioned FHSAA practice. If the fee is paid after the first day of practice, the basic insurance coverage starts the day after the fee is paid.  Coverage under the school sports insurance plan is effective only while Hillsborough County School students are participating in interscholastic sports practices and competition that are exclusively school sponsored, school scheduled, school supervised and school funded during the regular school term, and as sanctioned and scheduled by the FHSAA. Injuries during other non-sports related activities and regular classes are not covered. Sports activities that are taking place outside of the regular FHSAA season are not covered.  This plan will provide coverage for off-season cardio conditioning and weighlifting excercises while under the direct supervision of a SDHC coach. (Conditioning is defined as cardiovascular exercise, but does not include practice or sports specific drills of any kind, open gym/facilities or scrimmages).  

The school sports insurance coverage terminates after the last FHSAA interscholastic sports game scheduled in season during the regular school term or on the last day of school whichever is first. Coverage does NOT continue during the summer months for any practices, games, drills, open gyms, camps or leagues.  If a school team is eligible for post season play that team will continue to be eligible for the insurance coverage.
