There are two types of insurance policies required for the 2020/21 season.

A) Personal accident insurance - this provides protection for someone who is injured in an accident whilst participating in a club activity. This policy could provide either a lump sum benefit or weekly amount (dependent on the cover selected).

B) Legal liability insurance - this provides protection against any claims made by third parties against you e.g. claims for slips and trips or damage to third party property as a result of your negligence.

Countycover is arranged by the county FA as a group policy which allows you to purchase the cover at a cost effective premium, whilst also benefiting from a wide cover designed for grassroots football. This cover is purchased when you affiliate to Hampshire FA and the premium is collected together with your affiliation fees. (this includes affiliation via The FAs Whole Game System where applicable) Once the premium has been received, and your affiliation has been accepted, you will be sent an ‘Evidence of Cover’ from Hampshire FA.
