EXPERIENCE

Lorem ipsum

WELCOME!

Since 1989 we’ve been using our years of experience to organise and manage fantastic sporting events around the UK, as well as valuable opportunities for teams to play competitive fixtures abroad. Last season over 600 teams travelled with us to 15 UK events and destinations abroad from Belgium to Argentina!

As a team of passionate sports enthusiasts, our goal at Sports Tours is to provide the very best touring experience available to sports teams. Each year we look to better ourselves, ensuring that we remain at the top of our game – and this year’s no different!

For 2020 we’re introducing new events, new destinations – and that’s just the beginning. In a bid to be the best, we’ve changed offices and expanded our friendly team to offer more support to you, our valued customers.

We’re excited about our plans for the future and hope to welcome you into our travel club very soon!

Best wishes

Andy MatthewsSports Tours Manager

EVERYONE IS WELCOMEWe provide rugby tours and festivals for boys', girls', men's and women's rugby teams, aged from under 7s all the way through to Vets. Everyone is welcome on our tours!

FESTIVALS OR FRIENDLY MATCHESYou can choose to enter your rugby teams into one of the many festivals available here in the UK or Europe, alternatively if you prefer we can arrange for you to play friendly fixtures against overseas teams. Rugby festivals typically take place over the holiday periods. For those of you looking for friendly fixtures during your tour these can be arranged at most times of the year. One thing you can be assured is that all of our matches and rugby festivals are arranged through our network of Licensed Match Agents.

WHILST ON TOURDepending on your fixtures, we can arrange excursions for your team. These can include Rugby stadiums, theme parks, water parks or local cities. All the holiday parks we use have on-site facilities often including swimming pools, sports facilities, entertainment, bars, restaurants and more.

SUPERHEROESThis year's theme for our UK rugby festival weekends is SUPERHEROES! This is your chance to leave your daily life behind and become the superhero you have always wanted to be! Pull out your suits, masks and capes and prepare to dance the night away. At Camber Sands and Bournemouth we will provide the music while your club members dress to impress and get involved with our band and DJ on Saturday night with some of your favourite hits from the 80s.

EVENING PRESENTATIONSOur well renowned evening presentations take place at Bournemouth and Camber Sands, and we invite along famous rugby celebrities to present awards to all participants. Each player will receive an award and have their photo taken with our special guest on stage.

CLUB PRESENTATIONSAt Southport, Great Yarmouth and Brean Sands, presentations take place at the host rugby club. Famous rugby celebrities will be in attendance to present awards to each player.

AWARDSAt all of our festivals, every player will receive high quality participation awards. Teams placed 1st and 2nd in the U12, U13s, U14s and U15s will also receive medals and our huge trophies.

Age Grade Rugby came into effect in 2016 and determines the game for all players aged between 6 and 18 in clubs, schools, colleges and within the representative pathway.

The delivery of these codes ensures a focus on the wants and needs of every player. They ensure that every player, regardless of their ability, maturity or size develops not only their rugby skills but wider personal and social skills, increasing their enjoyment and supporting a transition to the adult game.

Sports Tours continues to fully support the RFU in their efforts to promote participation and fair play through five core values:

- Teamwork - Respect - Enjoyment - Discipline - Sportsmanship

In the 2019-20 season, Under 7 to Under 11 age groups will be completely non-competitive at our festivals, with no scores or results recorded to encourage the core values.

Under 12 to Under 15 age groups will play a round-robin festival, with results determined by a league table and trophies awarded to the 1st and 2nd placed teams.

All players at our festivals will receive a participation award.

All Sports Tours rugby festivals are fully sanctioned by the RFU, and we are proud to support the Age Grade Codes of Practice.

In the past this has included:

• Jason Leonard - Former England, British & Irish Lions, Saracens and RFU President

• Billy Twelvetrees - England and Gloucester

• Lewis Moody - Former England, British & Irish Lions, Bath and Leicester Tigers
