Specialist cover for athletes, teams and coaches
Whether you’re sprinting on the track, competing in the high jump or throwing a discus, athletics requires you to push your body to the limits. And each time you step out onto the track or field, there’s a risk of injury to yourself and other people, as well as equipment damage. For coaches, there’s also the risk of potential legal claims if one of your athletes hurts themselves during one of your sessions.
Specialist athletics insurance through Insure4Sport helps to provide financial protection for athletes, athletics teams and coaches.
