School Sports Tours
International School Sports Tours
Fully managed school sport travel for football, rugby, netball, hockey, basketball and volleyball teams — to Argentina, Europe and Asia. Fixtures, professional coaching, supervision and every logistic handled, so your staff can coach and your students can play.
A School Sports Tour Should Change More Than a Season
The best school sports tours do two things at once. They stretch a squad competitively — against opposition that plays the game differently — and they take young people somewhere that genuinely changes how they see the world. Students come home better players, and more capable people.
Olimpia Tour is an Australian-based operator built by people from sport. We plan and run the entire tour: flights, accommodation, training venues, fixtures, cultural programme, supervision and the documentation your school leadership needs to approve it. All fixtures and facilities are arranged subject to availability, and every tour is priced individually — prices on request.

Questions
School Sports Tours FAQ
What is a school sports tour?
A school sports tour is an organised overseas trip where a school team travels to train, play fixtures against local school or club opposition and experience a different sporting culture. It combines competitive sport, structured coaching, cultural experiences and supervised travel within one fully managed itinerary.
Which destinations are best for a school sports tour?
Argentina is the strongest destination for pure player development. Italy, Spain, England, France and the Netherlands lead for football heritage and abundant school fixtures. Japan is the standout for cultural experience and facilities. The right choice depends on your objective, budget and travel window.
How much does a school sports tour cost?
There is no fixed price. Cost depends on destination, tour length, group size and accommodation standard, with international flights normally the largest single item. Olimpia Tour builds an itemised, per-student budget for every school and provides prices on request.
How far in advance should a school plan a sports tour?
Plan 12 to 18 months ahead. Early planning secures the best flight pricing, gives the strongest chance of quality fixtures and venues, allows time to obtain school board or leadership approval, and gives families a realistic window to fundraise.
How do you handle student supervision and safety?
A dedicated tour manager travels with the group for the entire tour and is supported by 24/7 contact for your staff and for parents at home. We provide full risk assessments, insurance documentation, age-appropriate accommodation, dietary and medical protocols, and clear supervision ratios agreed with your school before departure.
Do you arrange fixtures against local school teams?
Yes. Fixtures against selected school and club opposition are a core part of every tour, matched to your squad’s age group and standard. All fixtures are arranged subject to availability and confirmed as your itinerary is finalised.
What sports do you run school tours for?
Football is our flagship school sport, and we also run school tours for rugby, netball, hockey, basketball, volleyball and padel. Multi-sport tours combining two squads on one itinerary are available on request.
Can you help us get school approval for the tour?
Yes. We provide the complete documentation pack that school leadership teams and boards typically require, including the detailed itinerary, risk assessment, insurance cover, provider credentials and supervision plan.
