Millions of people have fallen in love with the unique combination of tennis, badminton, and ping pong known as pickleball.
As one of the fastest growing sports in the world, more resorts are building pickleball courts to give experienced and new picklers a chance to get in on the action while they are traveling.
While serious injuries are rare in pickleball, even the best of us have lost our balance and taken a tumble when going for an overhead slam.
If pickleball is on your list of activities for your next trip, you may want to consider a travel insurance* plan with adventure sports coverage, as that could help protect you on and off the court when traveling.

If you get hurt, your health insurance may not always cover you when you are traveling to other destinations. However, a travel insurance plan from World Nomads may be able to assist by helping to reimburse expenses like x-rays, medication, a hospital stay, or other emergency medical needs.
You may want to explore even more sports and adventures during your travels. World Nomads covers more than 250 activities for U.S. residents, and you can also have coverage for activities like boating, aerobics, and zip lining.
We offer four plans – Standard, Explorer, Epic and Annual – each with different levels of coverage. When you get a quote, you can compare the plans, which offer coverage up to 180 days per single trip. And if you plan to take numerous trips during the year, the Annual Travel Insurance Plan could be best for you; it has a maximum trip length of 45 days.
If you aren’t sure if something is covered, contact our customer service team and they can help explain what each plan includes.
