High school sports insurance?

Question

I am currently a junior in my high school. I would like to tryout for soccer next year but i am afraid if i make the team, I do not have any health insurance. If i get injured in a game, do the school cover for the medical bills?. how does this process work?. My parents own a company. they do not work for someone who covers health insurance.

Answer 1

The school will not cover you if injured. This is a very common company that offers individual policies for very little cost:

Answer 2

Your parents should purchase individual health insurance policies for themselves and you - regardless of sports.

Answer 3

When my son was in high school, there was a injury policy offered.  Quite inexpensive. Even though we had health ins. I still purchased the policy as an extra because it even covered dental.  Since he also played football I felt it was necessary.  Thank goodness we never used it.
