Public Liability and Personal Accident Insurances
It remains a mandatory requirement for all clubs to have an appropriate minimum level of Public Liability Insurance, as well as each team having an appropriate minimum level of Personal Accident Insurance.
As is being experienced across all sectors, insurance premiums have increased from the prices that have been frozen since Suffolk FA changed to Sportsguard as our preferred suppliers from the 2021-22 season.
With Sportsguard, Suffolk FA have sought to maintain covers at the best value possible, balancing level of cover with value for money, offering optional upgrades should they be of interest.
