Athletes.
“WOW, is this really happening to me?” You may be thinking this as you listen to the national anthem, just before you go out and represent the USA on the field or on the court. And when you’re not playing, imagine getting to see places like the Colosseum in Rome, a WWII Concentration Camp in Germany, or walking along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Barcelona.
As a member of America’s Team, this is what you will be doing. Whether you go onto college and play or not, you will be preparing and giving yourself that extra edge that other college students won’t have. You will get to learn both about a foreign culture, and you will continue learning about sports. And lastly, you will return home a more responsible and mature person. We will challenge you to learn and grow everyday…both on and off the field!

QWhat is the competition like in foreign countries?
AAs in the USA, competition varies by location. If your tour surrounds a scheduled tournament, then you should expect the competition to be very competitive. Friendship tours often include local club teams, which include good quality competition, designed to promote the sport in their respective country.
