It\u2019s what makes having public liability insurance for sports clubs vital in looking after the health and fitness of your own organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thousands upon thousands of sports clubs spread across the UK, all busy helping people have fun, stay fit and make friends. Ranging from weekly aerobics sessions held in local village halls to multi-team youth football clubs, they help protect the wellbeing of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many are set up on a not-for-profit basis. And while all of that\u2019s positive news, there\u2019s the inevitable downside. Because the sheer number of people involved (including spectators), often combined with the use of specialist equipment, increases the risk of an accident happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, accidents can cost you hard cash if someone claims their injury was the club\u2019s fault and sues for compensation. And that\u2019s where public liability insurance for sports clubs comes in, by helping you hang onto your subs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who needs public liability insurance for sports clubs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All kinds of sports clubs need public liability insurance. Because all kinds of clubs can be hit by a claim if people fall foul of accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you\u2019re a bowls club and a member heads for the changing rooms as part of their usual routine. Only they don\u2019t notice the pool of water that\u2019s been left on the floor by another member washing their hands none too carefully. They slip and break their hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you\u2019re a hockey club playing a match against local rivals. No one has noticed that since you last trained on the pitch, a rabbit has been busy digging holes around the perimeter. Consequently, a spectator falls and breaks their ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe your club runs fitness classes, including chair exercise sessions. Only a participant\u2019s chair unexpectedly collapses beneath them mid-class, leaving them with a slipped disc and a dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accidents can happen for a multitude of unanticipated reasons. And the result of living in an increasingly litigious society is that if someone thinks there\u2019s a chance of blame, a claim will often follow. And that claim could be for many \u00a3thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can public liability insurance help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer is by taking the financial heat off your club. If there\u2019s a claim, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/public-liability-for-charities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public liability insurance for sports clubs<\/a> pays for a lawyer to defend you, picks up other legal costs, and also covers any compensation you must pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you\u2019ll avoid having to devote a big chunk of club funds to hiring your own solicitor. Or, if your club can\u2019t afford the lofty fees, spend countless hours and pull out lots of hair trying to grapple with all the legal documentation yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the bill for any compensation awarded is also taken care of, your club\u2019s finances stay protected. There\u2019ll be no big pay-out to find the cash for, meaning sport for your members can continue as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, some sports are riskier than others. And some insurers may want to ask more specific questions about your activities if your club is involved in some of the more obviously physical sports. Like rugby, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a few extra questions doesn\u2019t mean a red light. And in general, most clubs will get the nod for public liability insurance once those questions have been answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What other insurance might my sports club need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumpers for goalposts won\u2019t really cut it when you\u2019re asking members to pay fees and subs. So, you\u2019ll likely need to invest in specialist equipment like goals, nets, bats, racquets, balls, and numerous other bits of sporting kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of all that gear can quickly mount up if you count all the individual bits and pieces. Plus, you might have invested in IT equipment to help you keep track of members\u2019 details. Or sound systems, lighting and AV kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where you store your stuff, there\u2019s always a danger it could be damaged unexpectedly, say if there\u2019s a water leak. Or it could be stolen during a break-in. And if you haven\u2019t got the necessary kit to run a session, the sport stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/portable-equipment-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equipment insurance<\/a> helps keep your club running by paying to repair or replace items as new should they be damaged, lost or stolen. You can cover any kit you take around with you like laptops, cameras or phones too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if my sports club has employees or volunteers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your club employs staff, either on a full-time or part-time basis, you need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/charity-employers-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employers\u2019 liability insurance<\/a> (EL). It\u2019s the law, so there\u2019s no two ways about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It covers you if an employee is injured or made ill doing what they do for you. Maybe heavy equipment isn\u2019t stored safely and falls off a shelf onto a staff member\u2019s foot. Or someone develops chronic back pain because they weren\u2019t trained to lift kit properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an employee makes a claim against your club, employers\u2019 liability is on your side. It pays for your legal defence and costs, as well as covering any compensation that\u2019s awarded. So, in that way, it looks after your employee too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also have volunteers offering a regular helping hand at your club. And it\u2019s as well to cover them with EL too, even if you don\u2019t have actual employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s something of a grey area as to whether you\u2019re legally required to have EL for your volunteers. But the reality is that there\u2019s nothing to stop them suing your club for compensation, in exactly the same way that an employee can sue an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final whistle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing sport brings with it a long list of benefits for those involved. Improved physical and mental health to name but two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the health and safety of your own particular sports club, it\u2019s a good idea to invest in some insurance &#8211; kicking off with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/public-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public liability<\/a>.
