American Football Insurance

Specialist American football insurance for players, teams and coaches

Whilst not as popular as in the US, American football continues to grow as a sport in the UK. And as one of the most physical and high-contact sports, there’s always a risk of injury every time you step on the field. For American football coaches, there’s also the risk that one of your players could get hurt and make a compensation claim against you.  

American football insurance through Insure4Sport is designed to help financially protect players, teams and coaches with specialist cover.
