• Liability Insurance for coaches

  When coaches work outside their regular coaching environment, liability insurance is necessary to protect them, and we are thrilled to be able to provide this service to ChPCs and Registered Coaches at a discounted premium.

  It provides coverage for paid coaches, unpaid coaches, independent coaches, team leaders, mentors, and training instructors that may not be insured when working/volunteering with teams or sanctioned bodies. This policy will also provide additional protection in the event their team or sanctioned body does not have adequate insurance.
  
  Canadian Insurance Brokers Inc. (CIBI) in conjunction with the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC), has formed an exclusive National Insurance Program for Coaches across Canada.

  For more information about this program, please visit cibi.ca.

We have assembled a series of webinars sourced from various partner events from Canada, giving ChPCs and Registered Coaches exclusive access to them at any time, from anywhere. Enjoy!
