Travel Permission Forms
Travel permission forms are given out at the beginning of each season, for athletes to commit to each trip. Coaches will select their travelling team from among those who have signed up by the deadline. Invoices for the travel costs will be sent to each athlete at the end of each season.
Travel Costs
Where possible, we try to send several teams to one location together by bus. This keeps trip prices quite low. If fewer than 20 people travel to a given location, hiring a bus may no longer be economical and our teams may travel by train. Sometimes, our teams must fly to more distant locations such as Brussels, London, or Warsaw.
The Sportverein provides a subsidy (approx €50) for all students on trips costing more than €150.
Sample prices

Insurance
Three types of insurance can cover sports at MIS: your family’s health insurance, MIS insurance, and Sportverein/BLSV insurance. The latter two types of insurance only apply to official school activities, and BLSV insurance only covers MIS players who are registered Sportverein members and are involved in league sports.
In case of a sports accident, the first insurance source to be tapped is the family’sprivate insurance. MIS and BLSV insurance act as supplements to private insurance only if the injured student was involved in an official school activity, and in the case of BLSV coverage, only if the injured student was involved in a German league sport. In all cases, the school nurse needs to be informed of the accident as she will write the report required by the insurance company.
