5 Powerful Reasons Tournament Directors Trust Our Coverage

Tournament directors juggle a hundred moving parts. You have spent months planning your youth tournament. The brackets are set, the fields are ready, and families are arriving from across the state. Then someone asks, “Do you have insurance?”

That question can stop you in your tracks. So at Bene-Marc Youth Sports Insurance, we have spent 53 years helping tournament organizers answer it with confidence. Here are five reasons tournament directors across America trust us to protect their events.

1. A real person answers when tournament directors call

First, when you call Bene-Marc Youth Sports Insurance, you will not get a robot or an endless phone tree. You will reach a licensed agent who understands youth sports. For example, William Fleming, who runs youth sports events, shared his experience: “When I initially looked for insurance coverage I contacted other companies and many didn’t respond. Bene-Marc responded quickly.”

That responsiveness matters when you need a certificate for your venue and the tournament starts in two days.

2. We move fast when tournament directors need us

Next, tournament timelines can be tight. Douglas Murphy knows this well. He shared, “When we had an emergency and needed a new certificate in literally like 10 minutes, they came through!”

Ten minutes. As a result, that is the kind of turnaround that keeps your event on track when the unexpected happens.

3. We help you understand what you actually need

Insurance can be confusing. Different venues have different requirements. For example, parks, recreation departments, and private facilities all want different things on that certificate.

Douglas Murphy also noted, “When we aren’t sure what we need, they take the time to explain the inner workings and provide what we need with no upsell or unneeded extras.”

So our team is here to educate, not pressure. We want you to have the right coverage, not the most expensive one. To see what that coverage looks like, browse our sports insurance for youth events and tournaments page.

4. We go to bat for tournament directors

Sometimes working with venues or municipalities gets complicated. William Fleming experienced this and recalled that “Bene-Marc President Lisa Hall personally intervened” when he had challenges with his recreation department. He added, “They jumped on issues with my school district.”

Michael Lanahan had a similar story. He shared that “Bene-Marc President Lisa Hall personally intervened when I had a problem with my recreation department. Without her patience, persistence and diplomatic skills… I would have lost my business.”

In short, when you work with Bene-Marc Youth Sports Insurance, you are not alone. We are in your corner. For an outside view on event safety standards, see the U.S. Center for SafeSport training resources.

5. Coverage built for your tournament

From worried to covered

Kendrick Hilburn summed it up well: “Bene-Marc has exceptional customer service, they are friendly and always eager to help. If you need sports insurance or special event insurance they are my go-to company. You will always get a live person to help you with any questions or concerns.”

Running a youth tournament takes heart. You are giving kids a chance to compete, learn, and make memories. So the last thing you need is insurance stress getting in the way.
