REFEREE LIABILITY INSURANCE

Question:
In a local club insured by the Ohio North Association, in the case, one team is not able to field 7 players and the 2 teams agree to share the players (insured) and play the game, is the referee covered if he stays to referee the game?

USSF answer (February 2, 2009):
Yes, the referee is fully covered — as long as the game is affiliated with the U. S. Soccer Federation.
