Membership FAQ
Should I buy athlete injury insurance?
We strongly recommend purchasing and adding on the Athlete Insurance. Sometimes the unexpected occurs. All memberships come with the option to purchase either the Athlete Insurance or Athlete Insurance Plus to protect you when an accident occurs while practicing parkour.
Is athlete injury insurance required?
No, athlete injury insurance is not requred to participate in USPK events. USPK partners with Spot Insurance to provide coverage for our members. The $90 annual membership includes insurance for individual training and non-event parkour activities. However, insurance coverage for participation in USPK events requires an additional fee and is not included in the annual membership. This separation was determined by our insurance provider.
Based on feedback from gyms in our circuit, many expressed a preference for keeping competitor costs as low as possible. As a result, we chose not to include the event participant insurance fee in competitor ticket costs. Additionally, per our agreement with Spot Insurance, this fee cannot be “opt-in” for individual competitors; it would need to be mandatory for all competitors. Recognizing the potential financial impact, we decided to exclude it for the time being.
The membership you’re considering does still cover your athletes competing at other events, training outdoors worldwide, and indoors at gyms outside of the USPK competition itself.
