How is this different to a single sport tour?

Multi-sports tours can be like a single sports tour regarding excursions, destinations, and fixtures on tour. There are more considerations for multi sports tours, but nothing that our team aren’t accustomed to dealing with. If you provide us with a vision, we can make the following points happen to perfect your tour.

Match Lengths

Different sports have different match lengths, which we will account for when building your itinerary. Just tell us how many games you want and we will balance your games along with your excursions to ensure your players get the most out of their tour.

Total players from each sport

There needs to be enough interest in each sport to fill the required teams. We can determine what combination of sport is ideal for your school for a multi-sport tour. Target and allocate the launch of the tour to specific sports so you are guaranteed full teams. Gathering interest before booking is a great way to decide whether your group would be suited for single sport tours or multi-sport tours.

Training and match locations

All sports teams could have different matches at different locations. We will ensure you that all teams are transported to each game smoothly, even if they were in different locations and at a crossover.

Bigger tour

A Multi-Sport tours is going to interest a lot of players when you are ready to launch it. But that’s never a negative. The more people you have on the tour the more cost effective it will be.

What small add ins can help a multi-sports tour

Mutual Excursions

Excursions will need to be mutual for all teams if your group have one coach. Activities such as bowling, mini golfing, walking tours, boat tours and theme parks are great for diverse groups. Live sports are also great for sporting fanatics, especially a football match which could be followed by a stadium tour where you can look behind the scenes of a game. We will make sure the excursions fits everyone’s interests.

Extra coach

Having an extra coach on tour could be more beneficial than you think. Consider this as the ultimate tour of the year with lots of interests. It makes travel easier for multiple groups when you reach your destination, especially with games that could be in different locations. We will communicate with you what we think the best solution is for your school and why.

Accuracy with your team ratings

Tell us how good your team are, don’t put a blanket rating on your teams. Be specific with each team individually so we can find a fixture that matches your groups standard to make it fun and competitive for your players. The more accurate you are with your standards the better!

Time management

If you have one coach on tour, just be conscious of time. Consider your fixture drop offs, transfer times between multiple locations and the current traffic. It may take longer than usual to get from point to point. During the operation process of your tour planning, we will take into consideration your transport and add more leeway to getting to and from fixtures, excursions, and mealtimes to ensure you don’t miss a second of your itinerary.
