Insurance for Sports Clubs
Clubs require insurance to protect assets, income and liabilities. Know your responsibilities and enquire obout appropriate professional advice on insurance now. The main types of insurance are:
- Employers liability.
This covers employees. The policy covers legal liability to employees for injury or disease sustained during the course of their employment with their employer.
- Public liability or third party.
This protects against claims by members of the public for injury or damage to property. Not all public/third party liability insurance policies cover issues relating to child/vulnerable adult protection. Clubs and Governing Bodies may wish to explore this with their insurance broker.
- Personal accident.
This provides cover for accidental injury to specified persons. The policies are often very specific, such as payment for hospital expenses and weekly payments over the period of disablement or injury.
Some Governing Bodies and clubs may offer such insurance cover to their individual members but others may provide advice to members on how to obtain personal accident insurance. Where sporting organisations are offering group schemes for their members they must make sure that those members are aware of the terms and conditions of the insurance, as well as the benefits.

Spar European Cross Country Championships
Preparations are well advanced for the hosting of the 16th Spar European Cross Country Championships in Dublin on the 13th December 2009.
The hosting of major events like the Spar European Cross Country Championships is the foremost way for us to develop and foster sport within the country. The course, multi-lap to suit the various distances, is run over good grass land with interesting dips and good running sections on each lap. While there are no severe hills and no obstacles on the lap the course is a fair test of strength and speed for all competitors.
The race area, which is close to the National Track and Field stadium, is in the grounds of a former great house.
