William had been batting and had just scored another duck. He asked the captain ‘What sort of coach would you recommend to improve my cricket performance?’
The captain replied… ‘One that’s far away from this sports club!’

Have you ever stepped in when the coach or captain wasn’t able to attend training at the last minute? Has someone asked you to give them advice on how to put the perfect spin on the ball or how to get the right action when bowling?

Whether you’re training, taking part as a cricket club committee member, a cricket coach, instructor or even talking on your club’s website or forum, Cricket Club Sports Insurance isn’t always at the top of the agenda, but it’s something you should seriously consider.

Coaches, instructors and even ordinary cricket club members often provide coaching advice and instruction but if this advice results in an injury, either to the person they are training or to someone else, they could be sued. Perkins Slade Sports Liability Insurance includes Professional Indemnity that would cover you if you were found to be personally liable.

Perkins Slade can cover the following aspects of your Cricket Club’s Insurance:

• Personal injury to third parties and property damage
• Injury caused by club members to other club members
• Negligent coaching advice which results in an injury
• Libel and slander
• Failure of the club to safeguard children or vulnerable adults (provided you have a satisfactory child protection policy)*

Do you have any match day stories or jokes you’d like to share? Join the conversation.
