    It can vary. The team and/or league organization may offer some format of group health coverage for all its players or they may secure individual health plans. Since professional athletes endure a higher level of physical strain than the average person due to the constant training, practice, games, and other physical activities, they may require supplemental coverage programs in addition to your common type of health plans such as injury specific plans.

    If you're looking for help with your coverage, it's best to consult with a health insurance agent who has a strong background in health programs specifically geared towards health insurance plans.

    I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help with your coverage and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.

    That is a great question! The Pro players generally have health insurance through plans set up by the player's union. The Clubs themselves will have policies for non-playing personnel, and may offer as contract stipulations/bonus's some level of coverage for the players, but as a rule it is done through the player's union.
    In some cases the team may cover the minor league players, (some MLB teams do this also) in others it's the union, depending upon contracts, playing time in the big leagues, etc. As you might imagine, due to the increased risks of playing contact sports, the benefits and coverage will be greater than what the average health policy would be.
    I'm certain that the Player's Union Rep or the specific team's HR person could give you specifics, should you ask. I appreciate your question though, and you for asking it! Thanks!
