What is a Risk Retention Group?

A Risk Retention Group (RRG) is a special type of insurance company that provides liability coverage for groups with similar risks.  To be insured by an RRG, one must also be a shareholder in the company.  RRGs allow these groups, like CrossFit Affiliates and Trainers, to control important decisions which can affect the entire group.  The CrossFit RRG is the primary vehicle that takes aggressive action in defense of the CrossFit community.  By forming as an RRG, the collective power of the entire community can be realized.
