Why is tug of war insurance essential?

Tug of war, structured by the TWIF, is a raw strength sport where a team leans back and pulls a rope under massive, sustained tension. The maximal effort, the fixed grip and the sudden give of the rope expose the lower back, hands, shoulders and knees, and a violent pull, a rope burn or a sudden collapse causes back pain, muscle tears, hernias, hand injuries and sprains. Even in training, the extreme load makes injury a real risk.

To meet these risks, a dedicated personal accident cover steps in: medical costs, care, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your guarantees, in training and in TWIF competition. You pull with a free mind.

Insurance trusted by tug of war teams

Club pullers, competitors and coaches trust us season after season, for a single event or a whole year. Our personal accident tug of war insurance follows them on every rope, in England and abroad, from the village fete to the international championships. Do you also play pétanque or jukskei? We cover these disciplines too, with the same simple sign-up.

Tug of war is also practised as a para sport

The pull is contested as wheelchair tug of war, with teams lined up and brakes locked, so the power comes from trunk and arms. A disability does not stop you from pulling, and it changes nothing in your cover. AxeoSport insures training and contests alike, with the same guarantees and no extra cost. Just mention it at sign up.
