DIVISION I: Taking
your team on a foreign tour has become a common practice among Division I programs,
both men’s and women’s. Teams may participate in a summer tour, or an in-season tour once every four years. Division I teams may no longer travel during a Fall
Break, including Labor Day, but may travel in-season (Thanksgiving or Christmas).
Foreign tours allow teams to get an invaluable head start
on competitive game experience and team unity. Many teams who have traveled
on a foreign tour with us have credited the tour as a major contributing factor
to their post-season success. In fact, three of our clients (Connecticut Men & Women
and Purdue Women) won national championships the season following their foreign
tours.
DIVISION II & III: Foreign tours are
also available to Division II & III men’s and women’s programs,
except that you may travel once every three years. In addition to summer and
Labor Day tours, Division II & III teams may also tour during any Fall
Break from school (Columbus Day, for example). Matriculated freshmen and transfers
may participate in Fall Break tours, giving them valuable pre-season game experience.
Get an extra ten days of practice and games while other teams are waiting to
begin!
Other
advantages: Experience
You are allowed up to ten days of practice before you depart, and then up to
ten games on your summer tour. This gives your team a big head start on the
season.
Team Unity
Sharing the common bond of foreign travel can bring a team together, greatly
enhancing team unity and cohesion.
Recruiting
You can impress your U.S. recruits with the opportunity of a foreign tour AND
be able to recruit young foreign players firsthand.
Adventure
Foreign travel presents great cultural and educational opportunities to your
team.
Jobs
Give your seniors a chance to set up post-graduate playing opportunities with
foreign clubs.
College Credit
With a little pre-trip organization, student athletes can receive course credits
for the tour.
