Multi-Sports Group Tour (Community Coaching & Playing) in South Africa, Port Elizabeth

We require a minimum of 10 people to join this tour. We can customise your itinerary depending on what you want. E.g if you do not want to play sport and would rather focus on coaching in the community to support our charitable activities then we can make that happen.

South Africa Sports Tour
A group sports tour can be one of the most fun, eye-opening and rewarding experiences to share with your teammates. We all know the power that sport has, and how it can bring people together. Tours not only create togetherness in groups and teams, but also uniting people from all backgrounds and cultures, who would never normally meet.

Our tailor made sports tours to South Africa are tours with a difference. By combining competitive sports matches, with community sports coaching, and excellent group excursions, we will provide your school or club team with an incredible sport and cultural experience.

Well-matched Fixtures
With our exceptional knowledge of the sports environment in South Africa, we will assess the local club and school teams in the area to make sure your competitive tour matches are perfectly matched to ensure games are closely contested.

There is no better way to build togetherness in a team than taking on the challenge of competing against new opposition in a completely new environment.

Community Coaching Projects
A tour to South Africa would not be complete without helping out on a community project in one of the many deprived township communities. As part of your sports tour your group or team will have the opportunity to coach, teach and mentor children and young adults from the local township areas. Each group member will have the opportunity to coach their chosen sport(s), transferring valuable knowledge onto the children. This is a fantastic opportunity to interact with the locals and give something back to the communities that your group visit during your time in South Africa. Expect lots of singing and dancing from the kids as they show their gratitude for your time and efforts.

Unbeatable Cultural Experiences
A key element of a successful tour is not only to experience sport in a new light, but to also bond as a team by experiencing a new culture. Throughout the tour your group or team will have the opportunity to tailor a range of cultural activities in order to soak up all that South Africa has to offer with regards to the country’s stunning natural environment, lively local customs and rich history.

Available sports:
Cricket
Football
Hockey
Netball
Rugby

Please note that our coaching in the community projects happen all year around. However, for playing sport you should aim to come between April and September for football, hockey, netball and rugby and for cricket between October to March.

Criminal Records Check
We require you to complete a criminal records check in order to take part in this experience. We can accept those that have been done in the last two years if you have the certificate. In the UK it can be done through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), in the USA further details can be found on Travel.State.Gov, otherwise please search for your local service provider. We may also request a reference from a reliable source. You must supply these to us before departure and also take a copy with you to present to the in-country team.

Why do we require a criminal background check?
1) Ensuring a safe environment is conducive to learning, productivity and overall positive experiences for everyone involved.

2) We implement thorough screening processes and we are committed to safety and integrity, fostering trust among participants and the local community.

3) Conducting background checks serves as a preventive measure, deterring individuals with questionable backgrounds from attempting to participate in our programme.

4) Safeguards vulnerable people from potential harm within the programme.
