Specialist Tennis Club Insurance for the UK

Tennis clubs face a unique combination of risks – from injuries on court and damaged surfaces, to clubhouse liabilities, coaching activities, junior programmes, tournaments and volunteer-run committees. Whether you operate a small community club, a private members’ club, or a multi-court facility with coaching and competitions, having the right Tennis Club Insurance is essential.

At Insure24, we arrange tailored insurance for tennis clubs across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our policies are designed for clubs affiliated with organisations such as the :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}, independent tennis associations, schools, councils and privately owned venues.

We understand that many clubs are run by volunteers and rely on membership fees, coaching income, court hire and events. A single uninsured incident – such as a serious injury claim or storm damage to courts – could put the future of your club at risk. Tennis Club Insurance provides financial protection, peace of mind and credibility with members, funders and governing bodies.

Coaching, Training & Professional Liability

Many tennis clubs generate income through coaching programmes, private lessons, junior development and holiday camps. These activities introduce additional risks, particularly where instruction is provided to children or inexperienced players.

Tennis Club Insurance can include Professional Indemnity / Coaching Liability, protecting the club and its coaches if a claim is made alleging negligent instruction, poor supervision, or failure to provide appropriate training or safeguarding.

Tournaments, Matches & Events Insurance

Hosting tournaments, league matches, open days or social events exposes tennis clubs to increased footfall and higher liability risks.

  • Inter-club league matches
  • Open tournaments and competitions
  • Junior and county-level events
  • Club open days and fundraising events
  • Temporary equipment and marquees
  • Event public liability
  • Participant injury risks
  • Cancellation due to weather or damage
  • Third-party contractors and officials
  • Increased limits for large events

Committee, Trustees & Management Liability

Most tennis clubs are run by volunteer committees or trustees who make decisions about finances, membership, safeguarding, facilities and employment. These individuals can be held personally liable for management decisions.

Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) / Management Liability Insurance protects committee members against claims alleging mismanagement, breach of duty or regulatory failures.
