Amateur Coaches Liability Insurance

Coaching in any sport carries with it potential liabilities. In order to provide financial protection for volunteer amateur accredited coaches providing the coaching or supervision service as part of a GA or Affiliated Association sanctioned event or program, the GA affiliation fees include cover for Personal Liability and Professional Indemnity for amateur coaches.

Personal Liability covers the legal liability to pay compensation up to $20 million for personal injury and/or property damage whilst playing, practicing golf, attending a golfing activity or venue as a spectator or guest.

Professional Indemnity covers the legal liability to pay compensation up to $5 million for financial loss arising out of any negligent act, error or omission committed in the course providing coaching services.

Please note:
Professional vocational coaches who are paid for their services are not covered by the above insurances. These coaches should contact the PGA for more information.
