What are the insurance requirements for a sports coach?

You can decide which insurance covers to buy based on the needs of your business, but these are some covers that are likely to be useful for many sports coaches and instructors:

• Public liability insurance covers you if someone is injured or their property is damaged and your business is held responsible. For example if someone was injured during one of your coaching sessions and they claimed compensation from you, your insurance could pay the compensation costs and legal fees, up to the limit of your policy
• Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement for most businesses that have employees. This can pay compensation claims made by employees who have been injured or have fallen ill as a result of working for you
• Business equipment insurance can pay for repair or replacement of your equipment if it’s lost, stolen or damaged
