What cover is included in rugby club insurance?

Protect your members, visitors, employees, club facilities and grounds with the following types of cover:

Buildings and Contents Insurance for Rugby Clubs

Your clubhouse is a second home to many of your customers. Without your clubhouse and pitches, there’s no rugby played or money spent over the bar. The cost of repairing buildings, posts and pitches could spell the end for your club if you’re not adequately insured. Highly expensive and highly weather dependant. Rugby pitches, clubhouses and grounds often require regular maintenance. Risks come in all shapes and sizes, we are dedicated to making sure your ground is covered for any eventuality.

Machinery and Equipment Insurance for Rugby Clubs

Many rugby clubs have expensive machinery and equipment on site. If your equipment is stolen, lost or damaged, the cost of a replacement could be crippling. Think of the grounds-keeping equipment and scrummage machines that your club use day-to-day. Machinery and equipment cover helps you replace or repair without crippling costs.

PLayer and Personal Accident Insurance for Rugby Clubs

Rugby is a heavy contact sport. Not many other sports come close. We can offer player-to-player cover and protect against accidents and injuries. If a player gets accidentally injured, Personal Accident cover will offer individual cover for loss of income or the cost of treatment.

Public Liability INsurance for Rugby Clubs

This will protect you should a member of the public make a claim against you. Accidents happen, but you don’t want to foot the bill for hefty legal fees or compensation settlements.

Employers’ Liability Insurance for Rugby Clubs

It’s your duty of care to look after employees and volunteers. That’s why Employers’ Liability insurance is a legal requirement. If your employee falls ill or has an accident as a result of your negligence, you’ll need adequate cover in place.
