Sunday league players need to make sure their travel arrangements are up to scratch

July 15, 2010

Many football amateurs who play on a Saturday or a Sunday will be well accustomed to travelling to away matches in a rickety old van. Travelling together can be great for team moral, but not so great if you have a crash and your players are injured.

If you run a Sunday or Saturday league side, it is your responsibility to make sure that the van you use to transport your players is adequately insured. If it is not, you may be liable to damages suffered by any of the players if they cannot perform their daily work duties or if they have to attend rehabilitation clinics because of a problem that was found to be your fault.

You might only use your old van for one day a week, but it still needs to be insured properly so that you fulfil your legal requirements and also show respect to members of the football team.

Some van insurance companies offer special discounts for vans that are used infrequently or vans that only cover an insignificant mileage every year. You can also get discounts if you only have one named driver you just need to phone your van insurance company to find out.
