You will find below our Club’s “Good Code” series relative to particular interest groups which Dubai Exiles RFC undertake to encourage within our club community.
You can visit www.UAERugby.ae to gain a better understanding of the laws that relate to your particular age group.
Rugby Playing Insurance
Every rugby player should have their own, appropriate, private healthcare insurance to play rugby in the UAE and at Dubai Exiles Rugby Football Club.
The United Arab Emirates Rugby Federation (UAERF) also requires that all rugby players from U9 upwards have insurance provided through the UAERF. This is intended to supplement a player’s own private healthcare insurance where necessary. We have had to include the cost of this, supplementary, rugby insurance into the subscriptions. The rates built in are:
| Adult (Men, Women and Vets) | AED 410 |
| Youth (U14 to U19 Boys & U19 Girls) | AED 410 |
| U15 Girls | AED 410 |
| U11 & U13 Girls | AED 165 |
| Midi (U9 to U13) | AED 165 |
Please note that U5 – U8 rugby has no insurance requirement mandated by UAERF, and neither is there an insurance requirement for touch rugby, netball, or cricket. It is imperative that you have your own, appropriate, private healthcare insurance in place.
The current rugby insurance policy is administered by Lifecare International, the insurer is Orient. The policy is ‘direct billing’ only through Mediclinic. There is no ‘pay and claim’ facility and the insurer, Orient, will not entertain retrospective reimbursements. Should you need to submit a claim, please contact the Club or your Team Manager directly for your Third Party Administrator (TPA) Card number.
