St Lucia Sports Tour
Although St Lucia is not known worldwide for its sporting accomplishments as a nation, the passion that this nation’s population hold for sport in all forms is amazing. The most popular sports in St Lucia are Football, Netball and Cricket, with Rugby and Tennis gaining a recent surge in popularity.
A tailor-made sports tour to St Lucia is a sports tour with a difference, as we give our sports groups and teams the opportunity to not only play competitive matches against local teams and take part in some epic adventure activities, but also get to know the locals by assisting on a range of community sports coaching projects in local schools and community groups!
Well-matched Fixtures
We have staff located on the ground in St Lucia that work closely with a range of schools and sports clubs in the capital, Castries and other areas across this small island. We are therefore able to assess the local teams in St Lucia to arrange well-matched, competitive fixtures against teams of varying age groups and abilities!
The challenge of facing local opposition in St Lucia is an experience you and your team will never forget. Travelling and competing against opposition from the other side of the world is the best way to develop lasting bonds within your team, build your team ethos, and meet amazing, local people that will make your experience one that will stay with you for many years to come.
Community Sports Coaching Projects
One of the best ways to experience the real culture of a country is to meet the local people and work within the communities that your visit! As part of your sports tour experience in St Lucia, you and your sports team will get the unique opportunity to meet amazing kids and young adults by coaching your chosen sport(s) on our hugely rewarding community coaching projects. From coaching after school clubs in the disadvantaged communities of Castries, to helping to rehabilitate youth offenders by coaching sports on our outreach programmes, this is an eye-opening opportunity to see more of this incredible island.
