Insurance: 

Derbyshire FA provides essential insurance options for grassroots football teams, ensuring compliance with FA regulations. Two primary types of insurance are required: Public Liability Insurance, covering up to £10 million, and Personal Accident Insurance for teams, including adults and youth. These policies can be purchased through the Club Portal.

Pricing details are typically accessible through the affiliated insurance provider’s platform. For more specifics, clubs are encouraged to log into their Club Portal or contact Derbyshire FA 01332 361422. 

Also, your team must have adequate insurance if you wish to compete in a tournament. In addition to guaranteeing compliance to FA rules, insurance covers athletes, coaches, and organizers against unanticipated events, accidents, and injuries. Everyone can concentrate on securely enjoying the game when they have the proper coverage, which brings piece of mind. Verify that your team has sufficient and current insurance before entering a tournament.
