HOCKEY TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR PLAYERS TOURING, TRAINING & COMPETING ABROAD
If hockey is the main reason for your trip, standard travel insurance may not provide the cover you need. Our specialist hockey travel insurance is designed for players travelling overseas to train, compete and take part in organised hockey activities, giving you protection both on and off the pitch.
Whether you’re travelling on a school hockey tour, club tour, training camp, international tournament or hockey festival, 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 hockey rather than your insurance.
Why Choose Specialist HOCKEy Travel Insurance?
Travelling overseas to play hockey involves far more than simply turning up for matches. Most trips include coaching sessions, warm-ups, tactical meetings, training sessions, practice games and competitive fixtures, all of which form part of your sporting itinerary. Your insurance should reflect everything that makes up a hockey tour, not just the flights and accommodation.
Our specialist hockey 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, university or county team overseas.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
What if hockey is the main reason for my trip?
e.g. club, school tour or tournament
Does my travel insurance cover me while playing hockey overseas?
e.g., Echo Trophy, Barcelona
Specialist Cover Built for Hockey Players
Standard travel insurance is designed primarily for holidays. If you’re travelling overseas specifically to play hockey, your insurance should reflect the reason you’re travelling.

Our policies are designed around people travelling to participate in organised sport, whether that’s a school hockey tour, club tournament, training camp or representative fixture.

Why Choose Yellow Jersey for HOCKEY Travel Insurance?
Whether you’re helping a junior player take part in their first overseas tournament or travelling yourself to compete, our specialist cover has been designed with hockey players in mind.
From school tours and hockey festivals to club competitions and representative fixtures, our policies provide protection that’s built around the way hockey 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 hockey 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
Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every overseas hockey tour or training camp abroad.
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.
