The company also offers a selection of long-haul trip destinations, including Argentina, Barbados, Australia, the UAE and South Africa. Have a destination in mind you want to take your students? The team can make bespoke arrangements for your school.

When students take part in a sports tour, they will usually compete with local sports teams of a similar ability. They will then tour the city’s main sporting venues and watch a professional match.

There will also be time to explore the city.

You choose the sport, the destination, and the length of time for the tour and the GB Spots Tours team does the rest. They’ll plan an ideal itinerary for your team.

A popular tour is the Barbados cricket tour, while a New Zealand netball tour will give students the chance to play against solid opposition teams of a similar ability. Students will also spend plenty of time exploring the country’s stunning landscapes and scenery.

Did you know that Sri Lanka is the second biggest rugby playing country in Asia? On a Sri Lanka rugby tour, pupils will play against strong U16 and U18 teams, as well as having the chance to explore the natural beauty, wildlife and historical sites of this beautiful country.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Learning outside the classroom is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about their environment, other communities and themselves.

On sports tours students learn interpersonal skills, practise new languages, gain new perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of the environment.

Playing in a sports team helps students with their communication and social skills. It enables them to develop self-confidence and helps them develop the ability to overcome barriers.

Taking an international trip is a fantastic learning opportunity for students to understand the world better.

During GB Sports tours, students will get the chance to visit historical monuments, museums and places of significance. There’s no better way for students to understand historical turning points than by seeing the places they happened.
