UK Ultimate is delighted to welcome Yellow Jersey Sports Travel as our newest partner, providing specialist sports travel insurance for Ultimate players travelling to competitions, tournaments, and training camps in the UK and overseas.
Whether you're heading abroad for an international tournament or spending a long weekend competing closer to home, it's worth checking that your travel insurance covers the sport you're taking part in. Many standard travel insurance policies restrict cover for competitive sport, especially when attending an event is the main reason for travelling. Yellow Jersey offers specialist sports travel insurance designed with these trips in mind.

Why consider sports travel insurance?
It's not just about getting injured while you're away.
Imagine you've booked flights, accommodation and tournament entry, but pick up an injury a week before departure that means you can't compete.
Some standard travel insurance policies may not cover cancellation if you're still medically fit to travel, even though you can no longer take part in the event you booked the trip for.
Yellow Jersey's Sports Travel Insurance includes cancellation cover designed for this situation. If a new injury prevents you from participating in a sporting event that's the primary purpose of your trip, you may be able to claim for eligible cancellation costs, subject to the policy terms, conditions and exclusions.
And it's not just for overseas trips.
Travelling to Ultimate tournaments around the UK can be expensive too. Accommodation, travel and entry fees soon add up, particularly when you're competing regularly.
Yellow Jersey also offers cover for eligible domestic trips where you're spending more than two nights away from home in paid accommodation.
What else does Yellow Jersey offer?
Cover designed for competitive Ultimate events, tournaments and training camps.
Emergency medical expenses and repatriation cover for eligible overseas trips.
Cancellation and baggage cover, subject to policy terms and conditions.
Spectator-only options for friends and family travelling to support players.
A UK-based customer service team that can answer questions about the cover available.

How the partnership came about
Ryan Georgiades, Managing Director of Yellow Jersey, explains:
"Phil, who works with us at Yellow Jersey, has been playing Ultimate for years and knows first-hand how much travelling is involved, and how easily injuries can happen! He suggested we get in touch with UK Ultimate because players are often travelling around the country and overseas to compete, but don't always realise their ordinary travel insurance might not cover them.
We're sportspeople ourselves, so we understand that travelling to compete is rather different from going on a normal holiday. You can spend months preparing for an event, and one badly timed injury can put the whole trip in jeopardy. That's why we've developed sports travel insurance that recognises the importance of the sporting event itself, not just whether you're fit enough to get on a plane. We're delighted to be working with UK Ultimate to help members find cover designed for the sports they love."
