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, a Labor Day tour, or an in-season tour once every four years. Matriculated freshmen and transfers may even participate in a Labor Day tour, as long as Fall Session has begun. Division I teams may no longer travel during a Fall Break, other than 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. Also, if your school’s Fall Session has begun by Labor Day, all matriculated freshmen and transfers may participate on your Labor Day tour, giving them invaluable game experience.

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.
