Through the National Speech & Debate Association (NSDA) partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), eligible coaches can purchase a reduced-cost NFHS Speech, Debate & Theatre Association membership for just $14 per year. This is entirely optional and unrelated to NSDA membership. An Added Layer of Protection One of the most valuable benefits of NFHS membership is substantial accident and general liability insurance coverage, providing eligible coaches with added protection as they carry out their coaching responsibilities. These benefits offer two different types of coverage. General liability coverage can help protect you financially if something goes wrong during a covered coaching activity. Accident coverage can help with medical expenses if you are injured while participating in a covered activity, including certain travel. Learn more about NFHS membership, coverage, and benefits. Resources for Coaches NFHS also membership includes access to online resources, professional development opportunities, publications, and other benefits designed for speech, debate, and theatre educators.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
