Specialty insurance

Sports, leisure & recreation

A practical insurance conversation about how people participate, train and compete.

Who we can help

A closer look at your exposure.

Sports organizations, leagues, clubs, recreation operators, event organizers and facilities.

Participant injury, supervision, facility use and event arrangements need to be considered together. Individual coaches may need a different insurance route from the organization or venue.

What to discuss with your broker

Organization & event liability

Review the sports, participant ages, activities and responsibilities of each organizer.

Participant accident options

Discuss any offered accident benefits separately from liability insurance.

Facilities & equipment

Consider owned property, rented premises, sporting equipment and interruption exposures.

Management & safeguarding

Review board responsibilities, volunteer roles, screening and supervision procedures.

These are areas to consider, not a promise of coverage. Options, exclusions, limits and availability depend on the insurer and your circumstances.

Have a useful first conversation.

If available, have the following information ready. Your broker will tell you what is needed for a formal submission.

  • Sports, activities, ages and annual participant numbers
  • Locations, events, facility agreements and travel
  • Safety rules, concussion protocols, waivers and screening
  • Staffing, volunteers, revenue and claims history

A question worth asking

I am an individual coach. Where should I start?
