Insurance Policies The AIG Little League’s insurance policy is designed to afford protection to all participants at the most economical cost to WLL. It can be used to supplement other insurance carried under a family policy or insurance provided by a parent’s employer. If there is no other coverage, AIG Little League insurance - which is purchased by WLL, not the parent -takes over and provides benefits, after a $50 deductible per claim, for all covered injury treatment costs up to the maximum stated benefits.
