BASKETBALL TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR PLAYERS TOURING, TRAINING & COMPETING ABROAD
If basketball is the main reason for your trip, standard travel insurance may not provide the cover you need. Our specialist basketball travel insurance is designed for players travelling overseas to train, compete and take part in organised basketball activities, giving you protection both on and off the court.
Whether you’re travelling on a school basketball tour, club tour, training camp, international tournament or showcase event, our specialist cover is designed for sports travellers. Depending on the level of cover selected, this can include emergency medical expenses, cancellation, sports equipment and travel disruption, helping you focus on your basketball rather than your insurance.
WHY CHOOSE SPECIALIST BASKETBALL TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Travelling overseas to play basketball involves far more than simply turning up for games. Most trips include coaching sessions, skills clinics, warm-ups, tactical preparation, training sessions and competitive fixtures, all of which form part of your sporting itinerary. Your insurance should reflect everything that makes up a basketball tour, not just your flights and accommodation.
Our specialist basketball travel insurance has been designed specifically for people whose primary reason for travelling is to participate in organised sport. From the moment you leave home until you return, you’ll have cover that’s built around the realities of sports travel rather than a standard holiday, giving you confidence whether you’re representing your school, club, academy or representative team overseas.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
Does it cover me if the main reason for my trip is to play basketball?
e.g. school or club basketball tour
Does it cover me while playing basketball overseas?
e.g. Costa Daurada Basketball Cup
Specialist Cover Built for Basketball Players
Standard travel insurance is designed primarily for holidays. If you’re travelling overseas specifically to play basketball, your insurance should reflect the reason you’re travelling.
Yellow Jersey has been providing specialist sports travel insurance for active travellers for years, covering more than 500 sports and activities. Our policies are designed around people travelling to participate in organised sport, whether that’s a school basketball tour, club tournament, summer camp or international showcase.
Our policies can include emergency medical expenses, cancellation if injury prevents you travelling, protection for sports equipment, cover whilst participating in organised basketball, travel disruption, personal liability and 24-hour emergency medical assistance, subject to the policy wording.
WHY CHOOSE YELLOW JERSEY FOR BASKETBALL TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Whether you’re helping a young player attend their first overseas basketball camp or travelling yourself to compete in an international tournament, our specialist cover has been designed with sports travellers in mind.
From school tours and elite basketball camps to international tournaments and representative fixtures, our policies provide protection that’s built around the way basketball players actually travel.
Your policy can include:
- Emergency medical expenses
- Cancellation & curtailment
- Cover whilst playing organised hockey
- Sports equipment
- Travel delay & disruption
- Personal accident
- Personal liability
24-hour emergency medical assistance
Simple cover, built around how basketball trips actually work.
FLEXIBLE COVER OPTIONS
Sports trips rarely fit neatly into standard travel insurance. That’s why our policies include flexible options for couples, families and young athletes.
Spectator-only cover
Family members travelling to support an athlete don’t need to pay for sports participation cover they won’t use.
Accompanied minors
Parents can arrange cover for accompanied minors without needing to insure themselves on the same policy, provided the child is travelling with a responsible adult.
Couples & families
Reduced pricing for additional travellers because more people on one policy doesn’t automatically mean double the risk.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
If basketball takes you away several times throughout the year, an Annual Multi-Trip policy could provide better value than purchasing separate policies for every tournament, camp or tour.
Whether you’re travelling once or regularly throughout the season, you can choose the level of cover that best suits your plans.
Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer hockey tour and still have cover ready for your winter skiing trip; no last-minute insurance scramble required.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
