Specialist Risk Group (SRG) brings deep experience across sporting activity, venue operations and event risk. We work with clubs, operators and venue teams to understand participant exposure, safeguarding responsibilities and operational complexity, and structure insurance programs aligned to the realities of sport and leisure environments.
Sport and leisure organisations face a mix of participant safety, venue management, event delivery and governance risks. Injuries, crowd incidents, equipment failure or operational disruption can create significant financial and reputational impact. As facilities grow, events scale or participation increases, having specialist insurance in place is essential to support duty-of-care obligations, protect stakeholders and maintain continuity across seasons and activities.

Risks faced by directors and officers, committee members, boards and executives overseeing clubs, leagues and sporting organisations.

Most sport and leisure organisations require Public Liability, Participant Liability, and Professional Indemnity, with additional cover such as Property, D&O, Event Cancellation or Cyber depending on activities, facilities, and governance structure.
Gyms and studios commonly require Public Liability, Professional Indemnity for instruction, Property and Equipment cover, and often Equipment Breakdown for critical systems and machinery.
Event insurance can include Event Liability, Event Cancellation, Property, and contractor-related cover, structured around crowd size, activities, venue type and duration.
The underlying principles are similar, but professional sport typically involves higher limits, contractual obligations, broadcast exposure and more complex governance considerations.
Key factors include activity type, injury history, participant numbers, venue condition, safeguarding practices, event scale and governance controls.
Public Liability typically covers third-party injury claims. Injuries to registered participants often require Participant Liability or Personal Accident cover, depending on the activity and insurer wording.
Yes. Professional Indemnity protects coaches, trainers and instructors against claims alleging poor instruction, inadequate supervision, incorrect advice or assessment errors.
Event Cancellation insurance can respond to financial losses caused by insured disruptions such as severe weather, venue failure, or key supplier non-performance.
Volunteers can be covered under Public Liability and, in some cases, Personal Accident policies, but this depends on policy structure and must be confirmed at placement.
Yes. Community and grassroots clubs still owe a duty of care to participants, volunteers and spectators, and can face significant liability claims even when activities are informal or volunteer-led.
Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance protects board members, committee officers and executives from claims arising from governance decisions, compliance failures or alleged mismanagement.
Insurance can support safeguarding exposures through liability and D&O cover, but organisations must also demonstrate appropriate policies, training and controls to meet insurer expectations.
