Client Testimonials

Duncan Riddle
Executive Director, US Adult Soccer Association
Partnering with Players Health brings a high level of expertise in the protection of young athletes to our members. The online tools provided by Players Health will simplify our reporting and monitoring procedures. This is of great importance to an association that is volunteer-led.
Adam Paris
Owner, Chicagoland Fitness & Orangetheory Fitness
We have had a fantastic experience since switching to Players Health for our business insurance needs. They were able to save us $2500 per studio annually! Just as importantly, they didn’t miss a beat on the service side either. When a fire caused damage to one of our studios, Players Health was instrumental in navigating the insurance claims process to make sure we were taken care of and the costs of getting our studio repaired and restored were covered.
Gordon Henderson

This is a game-changer for Ohio Soccer, our players, parents, clubs, and leagues by revolutionizing the administrator experience. Our partnership with Players Health re-assigns responsibilities where they belong – with the industry experts.
