Comprehensive Handball Insurance Tailored to Your Needs

Medical Transport & Repatriation

Accidents can happen during intense games, fast breaks or powerful throws. If you are injured and require evacuation, our cover includes medical transport and full repatriation at actual cost. This guarantee is essential for players involved in international competitions, European Cup matches, or away games with their club team.

Healthcare Costs

Handball is a high-impact sport, and injuries such as sprains, fractures, shoulder damage or torn ligaments are common. Our policy covers up to €150,000 in healthcare costs, including hospital stays, scans, rehabilitation sessions, and specialist treatment. Whether you play in France, Germany, Denmark or the UK, you remain fully protected throughout the season.

Competition & Professional Athlete Options

For handball players taking part in IHF competitions, national championships, European tournaments or Olympic-level events, we offer specialised options tailored to high-performance demands. These guarantees are ideal for elite athletes, club professionals, and men’s or women’s teams competing at international level.

Disability Cover

In the event of a severe injury on the court — whether during a fast throw, collision in the goal area, or defensive contact — our disability cover provides up to €200,000 per insured person. This protection is essential for players who want long-term financial security and peace of mind during demanding sports seasons.

Why Is Handball Insurance Essential?

Handball is one of the world’s fastest and most dynamic sports, combining speed, contact, and powerful throws in a high-intensity environment. Whether you play in a club, represent a team in regional competitions, or simply enjoy friendly games on an indoor court, the physical demands are significant. Every year, many players, both men and women, suffer injuries that require medical treatment, time off work, or emergency support — and without the right protection, the financial impact can be substantial.

Because handball is played at high pace, with constant jumps, pivots, and contact in the goal area, accidents can happen at any time. A misstep, a collision, or a bad landing can lead to sprains, fractures, or shoulder injuries. Even international stars such as Mikkel Hansen, Nikola Karabatić, or the best players from Denmark, France, and Germany know that the sport demands strong physical preparation and proper risk management.

FAQ

Handball is a fast, dynamic sport played at high intensity, where players are constantly sprinting, jumping, defending, and performing powerful throws from all areas of the court. Whether you are part of a local club, competing in IHF or European Championships, joining an international tournament, or simply enjoying friendly games with friends, the physical demands of the game expose athletes to frequent collisions, falls, and unexpected impacts. Because handball is a contact sport, the risk of sprains, broken fingers, ligament injuries, shoulder damage, and even concussions is significantly higher than in many other sports.



A dedicated insurance plan is essential for all players of handball, including goalkeepers, wingers, centre-backs, pivots, and defensive specialists. Each position comes with its own risks: goalkeepers face high-velocity shots, back-court players absorb heavy impacts, and wing players often land awkwardly after fast jumps. Even with proper footwear and protective equipment, accidents can occur at any time, whether during official games, youth tournaments, training drills, or warm-ups.



Standard accident policies often fail to cover the real needs of handball players, especially during competitive situations. With Assure Ton Sport, athletes benefit from extended guarantees that go far beyond basic coverage:

  • Medical treatment following a goal-area collision

  • Emergency care during a championship

  • Repatriation after an injury abroad

  • Financial compensation for serious injuries

  • Support during international travel with your team


This specialised protection is valuable for both men and women competing at amateur, semi-professional, or professional levels. It is also ideal for youth athletes, who often participate in school leagues, club sessions, or regional championships organised by France, Germany, Denmark, or other major handball nations.



Whether you are a weekend enthusiast, a rising talent in an academy, or a senior member of a national team, dedicated insurance ensures you are protected during every phase of the game. It gives players, coaches, and parents complete peace of mind — allowing athletes to focus on performance, teamwork, and enjoyment, rather than worrying about injury costs or unexpected setbacks.

Yes — absolutely. While licences issued by organisations such as FFHandball, the IHF, or national federations across France, Germany, Denmark, and other major handball nations do include basic accident guarantees, these protections often fall short of what players truly need during intense sports activity. A licence typically covers administrative participation in official games, but it rarely provides comprehensive medical or financial support when a serious incident occurs on the court.



Competitive handball — especially at club, international, or championship level — exposes athletes to high-intensity contact, fast throws, and repeated physical impacts. Licensed players frequently participate in European Cup tournaments, national leagues, youth programmes, and cross-border games that involve extensive travel. During these events, the risks increase: collisions in the goal area, falls following a jump shot, defensive blocks, or unexpected red card situations where tensions rise.



With Assure Ton Sport, every licensed player gains access to a far wider range of protections than those included in a standard federation licence:

  • Medical cover up to high limits for injuries suffered during matches, training, or friendly games

  • Worldwide assistance during international travel for IHF or European Championships

  • Support for hospitalisation, physiotherapy, or long-term recovery

  • Repatriation in case of injury sustained abroad

  • Financial compensation for severe trauma or long-term incapacity

  • Cover for men and women in all positions, including goalkeepers, left or right wings, centre players, and pivots




This additional insurance is strongly recommended for:

  • Team members participating in national or European cup competitions

  • Athletes representing their club in cross-border tournaments

  • Youth players entering high-contact sport environments for the first time

  • Semi-professional and professional players with demanding training schedules

  • Fans of the sport who join advanced amateur leagues




Even elite performers like Mikkel Hansen or other top-ranked international players would never rely solely on federation insurance due to the gaps that remain in standard coverage.

By enhancing your FFHandball or IHF licence with an Assure Ton Sport policy, you secure the highest level of protection throughout every game, every half, and every season — ensuring that your passion for handball remains safe, supported, and fully insured.

Absolutely — and it’s strongly recommended. A huge number of players of handball participate in the sport outside official federation structures, whether through casual weekend games, university leagues, company tournaments, or friendly matches organised in local sports halls. Many fans, beginners, and returning athletes do not hold an FFHandball or IHF licence, yet they still face the same risks as competitive team members on the court.



Our insurance has been specifically designed to support players of all profiles — men, women, youth, beginners, experienced amateurs, and independent athletes who train without belonging to a club. Even if you simply enjoy playing with friends after work, or you occasionally join mixed teams during the year, you remain exposed to potential injuries such as sprains, dislocations, contact injuries, and accidental collisions in the goal area.



Here’s what non-licensed players gain with Assure Ton Sport:

  • Full medical cover for injuries sustained during training sessions, friendly matches, or pick-up games – including physiotherapy, imaging, and rehabilitation

  • Worldwide assistance, essential for players joining international school exchanges or informal tournaments abroad

  • Repatriation services if an injury occurs outside your home country

  • Coverage for incidents involving the ball, including finger trauma, shoulder injuries from a powerful throw, or accidental contact with another player

  • Financial support for serious accidents that may affect your ability to play, work, or continue your sport

  • Protection during informal matches played in gyms, outdoor courts, community centres, or during holiday travel




This insurance is suitable for anyone who practices handball without an official federation licence:

  • Recreational players forming improvised teams

  • Corporate league participants

  • University and college students

  • School-level handball enthusiasts not yet part of a national championships pathway

  • Former athletes returning to the sport after several months or years

  • American or international players temporarily living in France, Germany, Denmark, or other European handball nations


Handball remains a dynamic, high-intensity sport that demands sprinting, blocking, jumping, and rapid direction changes, meaning even casual matches carry real risks. That is why non-licensed players benefit enormously from dedicated protection — ensuring that every game, every half, and every minute on the court is backed by strong, reliable coverage.

Yes — our coverage applies to all forms of handball activity, from small local tournaments to major international championships. Whether you participate in team training sessions, youth development camps, corporate leagues, or elite IHF competitions, your protection stays fully active throughout every stage of your sporting journey.

  • Pre-season training, endurance workshops, and technical development camps

  • Travel for sports exchanges, cross-border tournaments, or elite training weeks

  • Youth competitions involving both men and women categories


Handball is a fast-paced sport played at intense speed, with constant jumps, blocks, and powerful throws, which makes accidents possible even for highly trained athletes. During major events, such as the Olympic Games, European Championships, or World Championships, the physical intensity increases, and so does the risk. Our insurance protects you on every court, every line, and in every country — whether you're competing in Denmark, France, Germany, or travelling across Europe for club tournaments.

Handball insurance is designed to protect players at every level of the sport — from beginners discovering the game to elite athletes competing on the international stage. Because handball involves fast movement across the court, high-speed throws, and intense physical contact, every player, regardless of age or experience, can benefit from reliable and complete coverage.

  • Youth players joining school sessions, academy programmes, or regional tournaments

  • Amateur men and women participating in weekly club training, friendly games, and recreational leagues

  • Goalkeepers, wings (right or left), playmakers, centre-backs, pivots, defensive specialists, and fast-break scorers

  • Coaches, referees, and staff involved in sport camps, training camps, and pre-season preparation


Whether you play for a small local club or compete in elite teams at international championships, the risks are similar: sprains during a sudden change of direction, shoulder injuries after a powerful throw, collisions in the goal area, or falls following contact. Our insurance ensures continuous protection during:


  • Training sessions (physical conditioning, tactical work, shooting drills)

  • Club matches and official games lasting 60 minutes (two half-times of 30 minutes)

  • International travel for tournaments, qualifying rounds, or preparation camps

  • School competitions, university leagues, youth development circuits

  • Friendly matches, regional events, or Olympic handball promotional days


This coverage is particularly valuable for players of handball who regularly switch between club matches, national team duties, and international circuits, where the pace of the sport is intense and demanding. Both licensed athletes and non-licensed enthusiasts are eligible — making it an accessible safety net for everyone who steps onto the handball court.

In short: if you play, train, coach, referee, or support a team, this insurance guarantees you can focus on performance, technique, and passion — while staying fully protected at all times.

Yes, emergency evacuation and transport are covered at actual costs. If a player gets injured during a game, tournament, or training camp, the insurance provides immediate assistance. This is especially important during international events, where the distance from your home country can make medical care complex without proper coverage. Repatriation ensures safe return after significant injury.
