When it comes to the age of your clients and your cover for coaching, you are covered up to the level that you are qualified or experienced. Provided that there are no age restrictions on your qualifications, there is no age restriction for who you can train.
For example:
- If your qualification states that you can only coach persons over 16 years of age, this is what you are covered for.
- If your qualification does not have any restrictions on who you can teach, then you are covered to coach all ages provided that the client is old enough to follow your instructions in training.
As standard you normally need to have a qualification that is recognised by a UK governing body, OR have at least 3 years’ experience in coaching the sport you wish to teach which must be evidenced, this can be with payslips, tax returns etc.
Please note that an exception to this is our cover for scuba diving coaches and you cannot coach any persons under 8 years of age as stated in the endorsements section of our Insurance Booklet.
