Stadium insurance

Does anyone know if all stadiums have the same insurance policies or are they individual with some stadiums having better policies than other ones?
The reason why I'm saying this is I've had a pretty bad injury that's gonna cost me thousands and my stadium which I won't name has a really poor policy. A friend of mine blew his knee out and was paid 80% of his wage while off work. The policy at the stadium I play at is 75% of your weekly wage or $200 whichever is the lesser.
Not the best news when you have 12 weeks off work.
Just a word of advice to players, get income protection especially if your the main income earner in your family.

they are all very similar, it really depends on who owns the stadium eg: casa leisure, basketball sa, ymca etc. this is however a good reason to A) pay your registartion fees at your stadium when you play and B) protect yourself seperately with income protection insurance!

Standard exclusion on income protection insurance & in EBA's insurance section is organized sport!

Organized sports include Bball, footy, soccer. So any injury that occurs at these sports will not be covered!

Nobody that earns a decent amount of money should play organised sport without a comprehensive income protection policy in place. All stadium/league insurance policies can and do vary greatly.
