What is Touch Rugby Insurance?
Many standard travel insurance policies will not cover touch rugby as standard and even if they do, there will likely be exclusions for tournaments or competitive matches, making a specialist policy necessary in these cases.
Our Sports Travel Insurance is designed to protect amateurs or semi-professionals playing touch rugby abroad. This policy will cover players should they sustain an accident or injury whilst playing touch rugby. Policy benefits include cover for emergency medical expenses and repatriation, cancellations, equipment cover and much more.
Likewise, our Sports Accident Insurance will help protect players in the UK, offering benefits such as personal accident, income protection and personal liability insurance.
Why do you need Touch Rugby Insurance?
Despite the fact that touch rugby is played at a high pace and is considered a limited-contact sport, serious injuries are far less common than in collision sports such as rugby union.
Tackles are replaced by touches, however the high speed and movements typical to touch rugby can sometimes cause soft tissue injuries such as bruises, sprains, and muscle contusions.
You cannot completely eliminate the risks of the sport. However, you can protect your finances with Touch Rugby Insurance, so that the medical bills do not make a dent in your wallet.
