What they said...
Coaches:
“EuroTour has exceeded all of my expectations. It is very
obvious that your hard work and experience have covered every detail and
every ‘what if’.
“You’ve assembled top coaches, the best facilities and incorporated an
‘off field’ program that enables everyone to get a taste of Holland and
hockey at its best. I leave
energized with many new drills, teaching cues and fond memories.
Thank you.”
Siobhan Devlin, Head Coach
Ridge High School, Basking Ridge, NJ
"Thanks for providing me with the opportunity... I benefited greatly from the week
(at EHF Camp of Excellence)... Camp employees are an extremely committed group of people
who enjoy working with young athletes. Each country brought with them their own coaching
style. This was great for learning. The demonstrations were fantastic! Many of the
technical topics were cutting edge. The Technical Director was excellent. (and the) drills and method of organization were excellent.
"(I) recommend the European Hockey Federation Development Camp to top US athletes (14 - 18
years) seeking excellent technical skill coaching as well as a European social
experience."
Laura Darling
US Field Hockey Association
Director of Player and Coach Development
“I believe there is a critical need for young American
field hockey players to travel abroad - to be exposed to the various
international cultures and the international game of hockey.
Global hockey is just so athletic, passionate and community oriented.
Unfortunately most high school players are limited by their narrow
experience. Only when exposed to the game at its most developed levels –
can players realize their full potential.
Seek the best and you will be the best. I encourage all US hockey
players to take the next step in their hockey careers – an international
hockey experience.”
Missy
Meharg
Head Field Hockey Coach,
University of Maryland
"The Dutch Training Tour is
a must-do program for serious hockey players.
The instruction is both focused and detailed - but most important -
every player gets personal attention to expert training.
"I go each year because it makes me a better coach.
Players should go because it will simply make them better players.
Plus you get to do all sorts of great stuff off the field - cool
sightseeing, unique shopping and excellent social activities.
The attention to detail and program design is top notch.
"Definitely recommended for those players that want to experience the
very best that hockey has to offer."
Dot Theobald, Coach
Assistant Rutgers Coach
Coach
U16 US Select National Team in '96 & '97
"Your program has been a tremendous asset to field hockey here at Centennial High.
In '94 the Player of the Year for the Baltimore area came from Centennial after traveling
with you. In '95 we brought home the first state field hockey championship to our County
in twenty years! We had three players on that team from your tour. I will continue trying
to send you two or three players each year because I feel it contributes greatly to the
success of our program."
Coach Gail Purcell, Centennial High, MD
"Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity of touring with Sport
EuroTour. I cannot begin to describe how fantastic the trip was. I learned so
much, both professionally and personally. As far as hockey is concerned, the effects of
the opportunity to work with great coaches was immeasurable. I have begun to apply
things learned to my high school team. Thank you very much!!!"
Coach Karen Williams, Ocean City, NJ

My name is Maya Herm, I am currently sitting at an internet cafe in
Barcelona on the day of departure from camp... I just wanted to tell you how
great of a time I had. There wasn't one moment when I wasn't having fun. The
kids, the staff, everything, was more than I could ask for. Sitting here
