Specialist Hockey Club Insurance Built for UK Clubs

Hockey clubs face a distinct set of risks that go far beyond standard sports activities. From high-speed play and stick-related injuries to artificial pitch usage, floodlit training sessions, volunteers, umpires, spectators and club facilities, the exposure for hockey clubs is significant.

Whether you run a grassroots hockey club, junior section, university side, women’s team, mixed club or competitive league team, having the correct hockey club insurance in place is essential to protect the club, committee members, coaches, players and volunteers.

Insure24 arranges specialist hockey club insurance packages tailored to UK clubs of all sizes. Our policies are designed to meet league, local authority and pitch provider requirements while offering comprehensive protection against liability claims, injuries, property damage and operational risks.

What Does Hockey Club Insurance Cover?

  • Public Liability Insurance – injury or property damage claims from spectators, visitors or third parties
  • Employers’ Liability Insurance – legal cover if you employ coaches, staff or use volunteers
  • Player & Participant Injury Cover – accidental injury protection during matches and training
  • Personal Accident Insurance – financial support for players, coaches and officials
  • Clubhouse & Buildings Insurance – cover for pavilions, changing rooms and storage
  • Equipment & Contents Insurance – sticks, goals, training equipment, kit and protective gear
  • Management & Committee Liability – protection for directors, trustees and committee members
  • Event & Tournament Cover – competitions, open days, fundraisers and social events

Why Hockey Clubs Need Specialist Insurance

Hockey is a fast-paced sport involving sticks, hard balls and close contact. Injuries to players, officials or spectators can result in serious claims if the club is found legally liable. In addition, artificial pitches, wet surfaces and floodlighting increase the risk of slips, trips and falls.

Many leagues, councils, universities and pitch providers require hockey clubs to hold minimum levels of public liability and employers’ liability insurance before allowing training sessions or competitive fixtures to take place.

Without specialist hockey club insurance, committee members and trustees may be personally exposed to claims, legal costs and compensation payments - putting the future of the club at risk.

Who Is Hockey Club Insurance For?

  • Grassroots and amateur hockey clubs
  • Youth and junior hockey clubs
  • University and college hockey teams
  • Women’s and mixed hockey clubs
  • Competitive league and regional clubs
  • Walking hockey and development programmes
  • Indoor and outdoor hockey teams

How Much Does Hockey Club Insurance Cost?

The cost of hockey club insurance depends on several factors including the number of teams, age groups, annual turnover, use of artificial pitches, ownership of facilities, number of volunteers and the level of cover required.

Smaller grassroots clubs may pay a few hundred pounds per year, while larger clubs with paid coaches, clubhouses and multiple squads will require more comprehensive insurance packages.

Insure24 compares policies from specialist UK insurers to ensure you receive competitive premiums without compromising on protection.
