When the Game Gets Bigger, So Does the Risk

With another busy sports season underway, community leagues, clubs and recreation organizations are getting people back on the field, in the gym and on the ice. And as participation grows, so does the range of risks that brokers need to consider.

That’s especially relevant as Canada continues to put a greater focus on participation and access to sport. The federal Canadian Sport Policy 2025-2035 emphasizes increasing participation and creating more welcoming opportunities for Canadians to be active. For brokers, more participation can mean more exposure.

Sports and recreation organizations bring together a unique mix of participants, employees, volunteers, visitors, facilities and equipment—all of which can create property and liability exposures. A minor sports organization, recreational facility or sports club may have risks that extend well beyond the activity itself, from premises exposures and participant injuries to events and day-to-day operations.

That’s why sports and recreation is a specific target class for ABEX Insurance. ABEX provides commercial insurance solutions for eligible sports and recreation businesses and organizations, with an appetite designed around the particular combination of property and liability exposures these risks can present.

A good season starts with the right coverage.

For brokers, the opportunity is straightforward: when a client is responsible for getting people moving, make sure their insurance is keeping pace.

Whether it’s a community sports organization, recreation facility, club or other eligible operation, ABEX can help you find a commercial insurance solution for the risk.
