Rugby Training Travel Insurance

What is amateur rugby training?

Amateur rugby training involves drills, conditioning, and skill development sessions designed to prepare players for matches. While it does not include formal competition, the physical nature of the sport means there is still a risk of injury. Training often includes tackling practice, scrums, and other high-contact scenarios.

Do I need travel insurance for rugby training?

Yes. Even during training, rugby can lead to injuries from contact drills, falls, or overexertion.

Does standard travel insurance cover rugby training?

Usually not. Most basic policies do not include contact sports or training that involves high-impact activity. You’ll need a specialist policy that clearly covers rugby training to be fully protected.
