Frequently Asked Questions

I’m not a professional coach, I just do it in my spare time, do I still need insurance?

Regardless of your professional standing, it is an unfortunate fact of life that accidents happen. And in some cases the injured party may wish to pursue a claim for compensation. Although you may not be specifically at fault you could be liable to pay costly legal fees and damages. In fact you may find that some organisations (schools and colleges particularly) insist that you have relevant qualifications, security checks and insurance cover before being allowed to coach.

What sports do you cover?

We have worked hard to ensure that the most popular participation sports in the UK are covered which means you’ll find some the most popular sports such as Football, Athletics, Cricket, Swimming, Gymnastics and Aerobics alongside some that you may not be so familiar with like Korfball, T-ball and GridIron. We can provide specialist cover for coaches and instructors in over 90 different types of sports, to see a full list click here.

I coach multiple sports will you still cover me?

Absolutely, our policies are designed around you. Use our quick quote system to get a price based on your requirements. You can select up to 6 different sports.

I sometimes coach overseas, can I include this?

No problem. Once into the on-line application form you can select from Great Britain only, Great Britain & Northern Ireland, Europe or Worldwide.

I can’t find my particular sport on the list; does that mean I can’t get cover?

Not necessarily. We are continually improving our offering, and therefore should be able to offer you the cover you require. Your sport may well be included within a different sports heading for example. If you can’t find your sport on the list either use the search facility or email us at admin@insure4sport.co.uk. Alternatively give us a call on 0800 158 5530 to see if we can help you further.

I am newly qualified, will this affect my premium?

No, as long as you hold a qualification recognised by the UK National Governing Body for the Sport coached or instructed as selected on your application.

I don’t hold the recognised qualification, is there any way I can benefit from insurance cover?

Under certain circumstances we can offer you insurance. If a ‘self certification’ only qualification is held, then coaching or instruction may be given but only whilst supervised by a fully qualified coach as above.
