Rhode Island Injury Fund Mission

Established in 1947, the Rhode Island Interscholastic Injury Fund is a nonprofit Rhode Island corporation constituted for the purpose of raising, maintaining, and administering funds to the schools in Rhode Island Interscholastic League who, because of injuries to their athletes, have depleted their budgets.

The fund considers payment of medical, dental and physical therapy bills for injuries incurred by an athlete, coach, or official participating in a sanctioned interscholastic league event. The fund considers bills, which exceed the amount covered by an eligible athlete's primary insurance coverage. It is important to note that the injury fund is not an insurance company.

Presently, the Rhode Island Field Hockey Coaches' Association sponsors an Injury Fund Round Robin Tournament held on the first weekend following the required five days of practice that follows the opening of the fall season.

The Tournament is divided into a morning and afternoon session, with teams arbitrarily assigned to each session. Each team is scheduled to play four 15 minute games.

Teams are required to collect donations from their players, coaches and fans. This donation should be given to the president or treasurer of the coaches' association who will in turn send the collected money to the Injury Fund. If teams do not participate in the Injury Fund Tournament, they are required to make their own arrangements in designating a particular game as their Injury Fund Game. They are also required to send individually their donations to the Injury Fund so that their athletes will be covered by the fund.

REMIND YOUR PLAYERS THAT T-SHIRTS, ETC. WILL BE SOLD!

Remember to make your Injury Fund Donation!!
