Public Liability

Protect Your Sports Club with Public Liability Insurance

At Sport Shield, we know that running a sports club involves more than just organising games and practices. Whether you’re bringing together cricket fans, coaching an amateur football team, or hosting a friendly tennis tournament, it’s important to think about all the ways you can protect your club and its members.
That’s where our public liability insurance comes in—giving you confidence that you’re covered for any unexpected events.

Why Does Public Liability Insurance Matter?

Public liability insurance is there to help if a member of the public is accidentally injured or if property is damaged at one of your events. Imagine someone slipping on a wet patch by the pitch or a ball accidentally damaging a nearby car window. Public liability insurance covers these types of situations, helping to shield your club from potentially high legal costs and compensation claims. It’s essential peace of mind, so you can focus on the sport, not the risks.

What’s Covered

We understand that each club is unique, so we make it easy to choose the level of cover that works for you. Our public liability insurance typically covers:

Personal Injury Claims

Accidents can happen—a guest might trip over a misplaced bag or slip on a wet surface. If someone gets hurt, this cover protects your club from related claims.

Property Damage

During games or events, sometimes things break. If a window shatters from a stray ball or equipment causes accidental damage, this part of the cover helps pay for repairs or replacements.

Legal Fees

If a claim is brought against your club, legal fees can add up quickly. Public liability insurance helps cover the cost of defending your club in court.

Medical Costs

If someone is injured and needs medical attention, this policy can help cover associated medical costs, taking some of the financial weight off your club.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is public liability insurance required by law?

It’s not legally required, but it’s highly recommended for any club that interacts with the public. Without it, your club could face significant out-of-pocket costs for injuries or damages.
