How do coaches get insured?
If you are a coach who is a registered member of a club that is affiliated to the British Softball Federation, you are covered for civil liability insurance while coaching baseball or softball in your club environment. This is through the club's insurance that it obtains through affiliation to the BSF. It might also include personal accident insurance if that is part of the Federation's insurance offering.
If you are a member of the BaseballSoftballUK Coach Licence Scheme, you get civil liability and personal accident cover that extends beyond your club environment to apply wherever you are coaching baseball or softball. Find out more about the Coach Licence Scheme in the coaching section of our website.

What’s happened to the old coach register?
We launched a new coach register database called the Coach Portal, which is now integrated into the BSUK website. Coaches who registered on the previous version of the database (2011-2014) were imported into the new one when it went live in September 2014 and were notified with instructions on how to use the new Portal, using their registered email address.
To find out more please visit the Coach Portal area.
