Private School Insurance

Any official working (or going to work) a high school contest at a NCISAA member school in 2025-26 must register with the NCISAA State Office and pay a registration fee of $20 prior to working their first contest. The $20 fee is mandatory and provides the official with a secondary insurance policy for high school contests. The active link to the registration form can be found here – REGISTRATION FORM. Link to the payment portal can be found here – REGISTRATION PAYMENT. The fee is $20 regardless of the number of sport(s) an official works.

This is a two-step process. Sometimes officials register and don’t pay or they leave the registration form to pay without submitting.

STEP 1-Registration

STEP 2-Payment
