The Fed and their insurance

[Little Jimmy]

This is my third year being head of my local high school softball group (in Maryland). Each year is a learning experience and this year is no exception.

The state organization (MPSSAA) is raising state registration fees from $27 to $34 starting next year. Not what I want to hear but I can live with it. But I'm not sure about what we're getting for our money. For $27 we receive a softball rulebook and insurance from NFOA. I am being told that our insurance lasts from the time we send in our associations money (mid March) until July 1st. I was under the impression that when our state registered us with NFHS and got NFOA coverage that it was for a calender year. Was I wrong?

I'm wondering what other states do. How they register their high school officials, how much you guys pay to the state and what you get for your money. And how about 4 issues of Officials Quarterly? Anybody get that for being a Fed member? I don't.

I guess I took everything for granted when I was just a regular member, but I'm trying to get a better picture now.
