Sport insurance

We are deeply embedded in the world of sport, both professional and amateur

As the preferred insurance partner of more than 300 sport governing bodies worldwide, we protect millions of players, participants and spectators every week.

Whatever your sport, and however complex the risk you face, you can be sure we have the market access, experience and resources you are looking for.

With specialist teams supporting clients in the world of professional and amateur sport, you can be sure you’ll be working with a team who understands your needs and is fully committed to delivering for you.

What we do

We design solutions to your risk problems.  

We’ll put together a plan to cover your assets and liabilities, and where needed, help you introduce risk management initiatives that reduce the amount of issues in your organisation. This helps insurers look up your risk favourably during premium negotiations. Which makes risk management a key element of cost control.

Often these risk management plans are rolled out via the governing bodies, for example the tech-enabled risk management checks for clubs to follow, which can reduce accidents and claims significantly.

For governing bodies

Working together, we create policies and risk management plans to suit yours and your members’ needs.

We can:

• Arrange cost-effective insurance and risk management for your tournaments and events
• Create bespoke combined liability policies for you to provide to your members as part of their membership.
• Offer preferential rates for your members on club property insurance, available online or over the phone.  
• Handle any day-to-day insurance needs, for example covering business assets and premises
• Provide claims advocacy and support, to get claims paid promptly

For professional athletes and clubs

We offer the full range of insurance protection for elite athletes and clubs.

This often includes event insurance and income/wage roll protection (including temporary and permanent disablement insurance).  

With some discussion, planning and negotiation, we can arrange cover for virtually anything, protecting your assets and covering liabilities unique to you.  

In professional sport, 80% of what we do is completely bespoke. And it all starts with a conversation. Let’s talk.

Amateur clubs and organisations

We provide access to a wide range of insurance solutions, covering the day-to-day aspects of running a club and providing advice on the risk management of special events.

Many of our solutions are designed in collaboration with your governing body, tapping into countless years of experience of working with clubs and organisations like yours.

Some of what we offer:

• Combined liability policies including public and employee liability, professional indemnity, and directors and officers (D&O) cover
• Property insurance
• Insurance for special events such as charity days and fireworks nights
• Risk management advice and initiatives (often rolled out via the relevant governing body)
• Specialist schemes for golf clubs
• Online quote and buy services.
