Little Kickers have partnered with Markel Direct, a specialist insurer of community groups and clubs, to offer a 10% discount* on sports club insurance to Little Kickers franchises with code LK10.

Specialist sports club insurance is designed to protect you against the unforeseen – from a personal injury claim by a member of the public during an event, to an allegation of abuse by a club member or employee.

If a claim is made against you (even if it's unsubstantiated) and you don't have cover in place, you could be left to pay thousands of pounds in legal fees and compensation payments out of your own pocket.

Tailor your insurance with these covers

  • Public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance

    To ensure comprehensive protection against claims, we group our public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance together.

    Public liability insurance covers the cost of defending your sports if someone is injured, or their property damaged, due to your negligence. Claims covered by public liability insurance are wide ranging but include many of the common personal injuries; examples include if a club member were to be injured during an event due to a failure on the part of the sports club, or if a spectator were to be injured at the fault of the sports club. Public liability insurance covers the legal fees and compensation payments that would be payable. Cover for £5m.

    Employers' liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ staff or volunteers. It covers against allegations of injury or illness suffered by staff during their employment. If your sports club employs staff on a casual, part time or full time basis, this cover is essential. Cover for £10m.

  • Professional indemnity insurance and trustee indemnity insurance

    To ensure comprehensive protection against claims, we group our professional indemnity insurance and trustee liability insurance together.

    Professional indemnity insurance covers the cost of defending your sports club against allegations of professional negligence. If your club provides coaching or training to its members, professional indemnity insurance can protect against claims that may be made against you if the service is sub-standard. It covers the legal fees, as well as any compensation that may be payable. Cover from £250k to £1m.

    Trustee indemnity insurance (also known as trustee liability insurance) covers the legal costs and expenses of defending against disqualification as a trustee, investigations or extradition proceedings. If your club, society or association is registered as a charity or has trustees, you should give serious consideration to trustee indemnity insurance. Cover from £250k to £1m.

  • Property damage insurance

    Property damage insurance covers:

    • your buildings
    • general contents (including stock)
    • computer equipment
    • tenant improvements and glass (for which you are responsible) against accidental damage (including theft) while on your group’s premises.

    You can also choose to insure your group’s equipment, such as laptops and mobile phones, on a worldwide basis. In addition, you can insure against additional trading expenses following an interruption, for example, a flood that means your group has to operate from other premises.

  • Legal representation and employment disputes insurance

    Legal representation and employment disputes protects your group against employment disputes, official investigations and other serious matters, including crisis management, identity fraud, official investigations (excluding HMRC), corporate manslaughter, pollution and data protection issues. Cover for £100,000.

  • Money and personal assault insurance

    Money and personal assault insurance covers loss of money for fixed limits up to a maximum of £250,000 for non-negotiable money such as crossed cheques and £2,500 for negotiable money. In addition, if you, or members of your family, or employees, or members of their family, are injured during a robbery or attempted robbery, we will pay you either £5,000 or £50 per week for 104 weeks - depending on the nature of the injury.

  • Cyber and data risks insurance

    Cyber and data risks insurance protects your group in the event of a targeted cyber attack. It pays the costs of restoring data and equipment, informing clients, meeting ransom demands and loss of your net profit. It also pays your legal defence costs and damages you are legally liable to pay to other parties. Cover from £50k to £250k.

  • Fidelity insurance

    Fidelity insurance protects your group against dishonesty or fraud by volunteers or employees. This could be, for example, if the volunteer who handles your accounts was found to have stolen money from the group’s funds for their own personal benefit. Cover for £50k.

  • Occupational personal accident insurance

    Occupational personal accident insurance helps your group’s volunteers and employees if they are accidentally injured in the course of your activities. It pays a weekly amount for temporary total disablement, or a lump sum if they suffer loss of limbs, sight, speech, hearing, permanent total disablement, or death. Limits from £100 per week/£25k lump sum to £500/week/£100k lump sum.
