Rugby Club Insurance

SQ2

How much does your rugby club charge for yearly membership and how does your club deal with injuries and physio bills and the likes?
The IRFU mandatory insurance doesn't help with "small" injuries so do you just get top up health insurance?

We charge €150 per annum - half that for unemployed/students etc
We only cover casualty fees
If players want further cover, we tell them to take it out themselves.
The IRFU mandatory insurance is enough for us to cover anything serious

Some clubs (like mine ) will offer you a discount if you go to a specific Physiotherapist for an injury sustained while playing/training also trips to the A+E, but beyond that your on your own health insurance plans.

this is a question i had put to me last week re Sevens. We're putting a team into kinsale this year and aren't affiliated with any club so where does insurance come in? is it part of the entry fee or do we need to arrange alternative insurance? or can we jsut wash the mud of our knees and pretend we fell down the stairs like every team i played with in the states used to do

As far as I know you have to be affiliate to a club for Kinsale because of the IRFU insurance laws..
