This is a brief overview and the itinerary is subject to change. Each day is filled
with events and group activities arranged by the coaching staff and Tour Director.
EuroTour is a balanced program of athletics and fun in which we emphasize a top hockey
technical program and allow for free time to shop, rest, and sightsee. Each player will be
given equal playing time to fully maximize their field hockey experience.
EuroTour is a USFHA
Partner camp. Our technical program is designed by Thomas Tichelman,
FIH World Coach and exclusive camp provider to
the European Hockey Federation.
"I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to join Euro tour
from the other side. The
experience you provide continues to enlighten and inspire
me. I now have so much more to add to my coaching technique
and appreciate so much of what the European model provides
for this sport. You have given both players and coaches the
ability to experience not just top level coaching and
playing, but the ability to remind us all why we love this
sport so much. I truly struggle to articulate how much I
enjoyed this experience. I know you cannot plan the
friendships formed, but I will remain in close touch with
the coaches I have met on this tour. They are the best coaches with
whom I have worked because they not only love and value the
sport itself, but love and value the role of the coach;
this is something in which few are gifted.
So I thank you a million times and hope that I can join the
tour again."
