Sport Liability Insurance
Gymnastics Ontario provides Liability Insurance for all registered members including participants, managers, coaches, directors, officers, officials, trainers, employees and volunteers but only while participating in a Sanctioned Gymnastics Ontario activity.
Gymnastics Ontario’s Liability Insurance covers your legal liability for bodily injury to, or damage to property of others such as spectators, passer-by, property owners and others resulting from their activity. In addition, this policy covers your legal liability for injury to participants. Because of your operations, or actions, you are open for possible suits from Third Parties. You may not be liable but you will need to be defended in court. The Liability policy pays for this defense as well as any costs found against you.
This coverage includes activities sanctioned by Gymnastics Ontario. It does not cover individual members practicing by themselves where Gymnastics Ontario has no direct involvement or sanction.
