Useful links:
Keep tournament information handy (e.g., address, schedule, etc.), team contact info, and your hotel reservation details to show border officials, if requested.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: U.S. Medical Coverage & Ambulance Notice Please read carefully before crossing the border: Traveling into the U.S. for competitive sports requires comprehensive out-of-country travel medical insurance.
Ensure your out-of-province/out-of-country travel medical coverage is active and reviewed before crossing into New York State.
Ensure your private travel medical policy numbers and the insurance provider's international emergency phone numbers are saved directly in your mobile phone before departure.
If a player gets hurt on the field and requires an ambulance transport to the emergency room, U.S. medical services will charge you directly. Without private travel insurance coverage, you will be personally responsible for thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs for the ambulance ride, ER doctors, and diagnostic tests (like X-rays or CT scans).
