Why is shinty insurance essential?

Shinty is a fast, physical Scottish team sport played with a caman stick and a hard ball that can be struck in the air, built on high-speed hits, aerial play and committed duels. The fast ball, the swinging sticks and the collisions expose the hands, face, head and knees, and a ball impact, a stick clash or a bad duel causes fractures, concussions, hand and facial injuries and sprains. Even in training, the contact takes its toll. A federation licence and standard contracts cover these accidents poorly, and the costs of care and rehabilitation add up.

A dedicated personal accident insurance takes over: medical costs, care, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your guarantees, in training and in Camanachd-style competition. You can progress with a free mind.
