Absolutely, LTA accredited coaches have comprehensive insurance cover for their coaching services, but the LTA insurance policy doesn't include cover for the volunteers, parent helpers and assistants that support you in your group tennis sessions. This leaves you, or those volunteers/assistants, personally liable and at financial risk for accidents arising from their instruction within your sessions. The BTCA provide complete peace of mind for your coaching services by covering your volunteers, assistants and parent helpers within your sessions (for up to a maximum of 70 attendees in a single session) for public liability insurance. Our Silver Membership provides this volunteer and assistant cover independently whilst your LTA Accredited insurance covers you yourself. Gold and Platinum BTCA memberships cover you the coach for public liability insurance, employee liability insurance, property insurance and professional indemnity, and also covers your assistants and volunteers for public liability insurance too. Aside from bolstering up your LTA accreditation insurance with volunteer/assistant public liability insurance cover with BTCA Silver, or elevated insurance with Gold and Platinum, BTCA have carefully selected the most useful member benefits in their packages, including up to 25% of LTA coach qualification courses (in partnership with Coach Central), brand & marketing support with Creative (from Active Away), legal advice in the event of a dispute within your coaching environment, and, coaching service tech aids (such as the Automated Videoing Assistant https://ava.website) to name just a few, this therefore means there's plenty of good reason to be a BTCA member as well retain LTA accreditation too.
