Time Inc.’s (NYSE:TIME) SPORTS ILLUSTRATED PLAY announced today that it has teamed up with AIG Travel to offer Registration Saver (Regsaver) to insure fees associated with booking youth sports seasons on the SI PLAY platform. This arrangement between SI PLAY—one of the most widely used and fastest growing software companies in the youth sports industry—and AIG-backed Regsaver provides an alternative to no-refund policies for illness, on- and off-the field injuries, and active military or job transfers, aiding SI PLAY parents, league administrators and more than 17 million users.

SI PLAY CEO Jeff Karp says: “We found that SI PLAY users playing in leagues without refund policies were searching for a solution. SI PLAY decided to fill this gap in the industry with an additional layer of player protection, and we turned to Next Wave and AIG Travel to help. We believe that both SI PLAY parents and league administrators will benefit greatly from Regsaver, as it can provide insurance coverage for the entirety of a season.”

Under the new arrangement, league administrators will no longer need to worry about offering or processing refunds associated with illness, injury, or job relocation for parents who purchase Regsaver. Next Wave, in partnership with AIG Travel, will directly handle all customer inquiries and claim processing to reimburse parents for covered claims.

The Regsaver insurance policy will be offered in tandem with SI PLAY’s seasonal registration process. When registering seasons on the SI PLAY platform, parents will have the option of insuring all of the registration fees for their event. Regsaver will offer coverage for illness, on- and off-the-field injuries, active military service transfers, or job transfers. If a parent files a claim, AIG Travel will handle the inquiry directly, saving league administrators time and hassle.

“From sudden job relocations to off-the-field injuries, the unexpected can always happen. Regsaver provides an affordable option to safeguard the investment that families make when signing up their children to play sports,” said Jeff Rutledge, CEO, AIG Travel.
