Your health is important to us. We play a physical, contact sport that can lead to serious injury.

• Once registered on PlayHQ with the Sydney AFL, and become a member of Balmain, you are covered for limited insurance with Marsh.

• Physios will be provided at competition games, carnivals and social games, and at Tuesday training during in-season.

• Service for pre-game strapping up to one hour before is provided.

• Concussion guidelines.

Insurance is great when you have it and you need it. Until you do, we all too casually think we are invincable.

Some easy wins to secure your health:

1. If under 30, have your parents add you to their health insurance.

2. As a minimum, buy hospital cover. This can cost ~$35 a week.

If you become injured:

• Speak with the physios at Total Body Physio for an excellent service and advice, at a discounted rate.

• When home, start the insurance process by completing a claim at Marsh. Silver level for seniors, bronze for masters competition. There is no cover with the NSW AFL Masters for social games. https://www.au.marsh.com/sport/make-a-claim.html .

• Contact the Football Manager for advice and email them the form for signing: football.balmainafc@gmail.com.
