This U.S. industry comprises professional or semiprofessional sports teams or clubs primarily engaged in participating in live sporting events, such as baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, and jai alai games, before a paying audience. These establishments may or may not operate their own arena, stadium, or other facility for presenting these events.
Start the review with athlete accident and health.
For Sports Teams and Clubs, the saved research highlights athlete accident and health, event liability, workers compensation. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.

- What is the total athlete payroll or compensation structure, including signing bonuses or deferred compensation?
- How many home events are held per season, and what is the typical attendance capacity?
- Is there any broadcasting, media rights, licensing, or endorsement activity that creates additional liability exposure?
- For Sports Teams and Clubs, what should the underwriter know about high-earning athlete rosters where a single injury could trigger catastrophic disability claims?
- For Sports Teams and Clubs, what should the underwriter know about owned stadium or arena with large spectator capacity and complex crowd management operations?
- For Sports Teams and Clubs, what should the underwriter know about prior significant event liability losses or spectator injury claims?
