What is handball?
Handball is a fast team sport where players pass and throw a ball with their hands, trying to score in the opposing team’s goal. It involves quick movement, plenty of jumping and the occasional reminder that everyone else on the court is moving just as quickly.
Can I get travel insurance for handball?
Yes, cover for amateur handball can be available through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Select handball when getting your quote and check that it appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents. If you’re travelling for a league, tournament or organised competition, make sure the selected policy matches the level at which you will be playing.
Things to remember:
- Choose handball when getting your quote
- Check that it appears on your policy documents
- Follow the coach, referee and venue’s rules
What can travel insurance help with?
If you’re injured while taking part in insured handball, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment and other travel-related problems. Personal Liability may be restricted or excluded while taking part in an organised team sport, so check the applicable Policy Wording.

Is Personal Liability covered while playing handball?
Personal Liability may be included depending on the policy and circumstances. Restrictions or exclusions may apply during matches, leagues and tournaments, so check the Policy Wording.
