Why do you need sports league insurance?
Sports League Insurance provides essential protection for organisations against potential claims, from risks and incidents occurring during sporting activities. As a league organiser you will likely have large number of people involved in games and matches, from players, to spectators, to officials, and therefore the risk of unexpected injuries and incidents ultimately increases.
By securing sports league insurance, you are putting essential steps to ensure a responsible operation, fulfilling safety obligations to participants, and safeguarding yourself against significant financial liabilities. Here are several situations illustrating the importance of having sports league insurance in place:
Cover against a member of the public getting injured.
Sports League activities will often involve organising events, matches, or tournaments where spectators are present. In the event that a spectator is injured or their property is damaged whilst under the responsibility of the league, public liability insurance provides protection against potential legal claims.
An employee or volunteer suffers a workplace accident.
If the sports league employs coaches, staff, or volunteers, employer’s liability insurance is necessary to cover potential claims made by employees for work-related injuries or illnesses. Employers’ liability is a legal obligation with fines of £2500 per day for failing to comply.
A sports centre requires liability insurance.
If you need to hire a pitch, court or other sporting venue to be able to hold your league game it is likely that proof of liability insurance for your league will be a minimum requirement.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How quickly will my sports league insurance documents come?
We will issue your insurance certificate immediately after you have paid for your sports league insurance.
Will I need Employers’ Liability?
ports leagues which employ members of staff, whether on a paid or voluntary basis will also require employers’ liability alongside the league insurance cover. Employers’ Liability insurance enables businesses to meet the costs of damages and legal fees for employees who are injured or ill at work. As a result, it is a legal obligation for businesses in the UK who employ staff to have employers’ liability insurance to provide cover against a claim by an employee. (Employers’ liability insurance will not be required in the instances where sub-contractors with their own insurance of at least £2m public liability are used).
Why do I need Sports League insurance?
As well as protecting yourself as a league organiser from 3rd party claims the likelihood is that you will also require some specialist league insurance in order to run the league. This may be because you are using hired or rented facilities and as a result the local authority or facility owners may request proof of insurance before the league can commence. At Protectivity our league insurance package not only allows you to meet the requirements of facility owners but will also protect you against 3rd party claims.
