Cheaper insurance for juniors

THE RFL Community Board has agreed a major investment into the sport’s grassroots to provide heavily subsidised personal accident insurance for every youth and junior club in the country.

The biggest discounts will be offered to clubs who have achieved the prestigious Clubmark Gold status, an award which recognises the quality of their organisation.

Discounts are also offered for clubs who have achieved Clubmark status and clubs who have joined the club partnership scheme. However all clubs, regardless of their status, will be offered a discount on their insurance premium.

The initiative covers all the personal accident insurance schemes currently within the game and further details will be sent to the clubs in the near future.

Any club wishing to join the club partnership scheme should contact Rugby League Services on 01484 448000.

Kelly Barrett, Rugby League Services Manager said: “The Community Board is acutely aware of how hard it is to generate finance for community clubs. To be able to offer this assistance at this time is very important to us.”

Charlie Bray, Youth and Junior Representative for the RFL Community Board said: “This will have a really positive effect on clubs within the grassroots of the game and will provide a much valued relief to the clubs that work so hard to raise funds.”
