School football tours, or soccer tours if that is what you call it at home. Football is the sport most of the world plays, which gives a touring team more choice of opposition than any other code.
We will be honest about where we are at. Our touring history is strongest in rugby, hockey and volleyball, and football is a code we are building on the same foundations: the schools, clubs and people we already know.
If you have a football side that wants to tour, tell us the level and the dates and we will show you what we can put together.
Japanese teams prepare with a discipline and work rate that visiting players talk about long after they get home, and they host with the same care. A tour here is as much about how the game is prepared as how it is played.
From New Zealand, Japan is a direct flight of about eleven hours and only three or four hours behind us, so a school team lands ready to play. School sport there runs through after school clubs that train most days of the year. Rugby has boomed since the 2019 World Cup, football has a national high school championship that fills stadiums, and basketball has grown quickly since Japan helped host the 2023 World Cup.
We have people on the ground in both Japan and New Zealand, and we are building this destination through them, one relationship at a time. That means we take on only what we know we can deliver well.
If Japan is on your list, talk to us early and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your group.
