ETA Annual Report

Financial (Review)
As a not for profit association, all of our surplus revenue is invested back into our sport to
achieve our goals at every level.
Insurance
The biggest change in 2013 finances was the provision
of comprehensive insurance cover we provided for all
our members. The provision of Public Liability
Insurance is absolutely vital to protect the interests of
our members against any legal liability for accidents or
damage to third party property. This has been
arranged through a specialist sports insurance broker
Endsleigh Insurance with Sportscover. The total cost of
this insurance is £10,000 which equates to £2 per
person for all 5,000 people currently affiliated to
England Touch.
Player contribution
2013 will see the ETA commit to paying a £30
contribution to each player in the elite squads, as part
of our ongoing initiative to reduce costs. This
reinvestment is funded from the sale of off field kit.
ETA Rewards
The ETA are looking into launching a rewards scheme
for people involved with England Touch. The notion is
that players, managers, coaches, physios, referees etc
are encouraged to be even more active in Touch
development through logging contributions and then
giving them payback.
There are numerous ideas for the point scoring
activities, some of which include:
? Running a structured Touch session in a school.
? Referee obtaining an upgrade at an ETA ran event.
? Volunteering for an ETA (sub) committee position.
? Physio volunteering at an ETA event.
? Players conducting ETA-approved outreach
activities.
? Developing opportunities to promote Touch and
increase participation.
