2020 Club Affiliation & Boxer Registration
Published Fri 24 Jan 2020
As your clubs restart for 2020 you are reminded that your clubs will also need to renew your membership for the year. Clubs, Coaches and Boxers must have current membership or will not be covered under the insurance. This sport specific insurance covers items that that most general policies will not, we ask that you not put your coaches (covered under Club Affiliation) or members at risk.
It should also be noted that there in NO COVER provided under the included insurance with Boxing Queensland/BAL that will cover Gyms, Clubs & any other entity, either business, club or not for profit. All gyms and clubs should have their own Public Liability coverage. In the event of legal action taken against your business or club the current insurance policy will not be able to respond.
Risks faced by Clubs & Gyms include slip & fall injuries, inadequate supervision of boxers leading to injury, allowing a member to continue to train when injured, malfunction of training equipment leading to injury and so on. Running a gym that includes boxing activities is a high risk environment and the right insurance cover is highly recommended. The broker and insurer have pre-agreed rates for the Boxing community, please contact us to find out more.
Tje cover for our clubs coaches is provided to the individual accredited coach - not the company the coach works for. This also applies in situations where the coach owns their own business - the policy covers the individual coach, not their company. To assist in understanding when the Boxing Queensland/BAL insurance responds for the individual accredited coaches, please see the table below:
