The Best European Sports Tour Destinations for Adult Teams
Getting involved in a local sports team is a great way to keep fit and make new friends at the same time. Another bonus of being involved in a sports team is the chance to go on tours. They give you the chance to really get to know your team, let your hair down, and play against some local teams.
The problem with staying in England for your tour is that you’ll probably find yourself in a tired looking B&B and spend two out of the three days you’d organised for fixtures hiding from the rain. With destinations right across Europe, the Far East and Australia on offer there really is no excuse to stay in rainy Blighty.
Here are some of the best European sports tours destinations for adult teams.
La Manga, Spain
If you want a destination that is great all year around then this is the place for you. It really is a true sporting paradise with international football and rugby clubs queuing up to spend their mid-season camp time at the resort. If cricket is more your game then you’ll find plenty of local amateur teams to play against without having to break the bank.
The resort is on the South Eastern tip of Spain and you’ll find everything you need including shops, banks, a pharmacy, and of course indoor and outdoor pools. As well as the unrivalled sporting facilities there are also plenty of restaurants and bars for a post-match party.
Limassol, Cyprus
Another location if you’re looking for a summer tour experience at any time of year, just be careful not to get carried away with the party lifestyle! A three to five night tour will give you the chance to make the most of the beaches, bars and sporting opportunities.
Cyprus also has a rich history so if you’re looking to combine sports with a cultural experience this is the perfect destination. Enjoy beautiful architecture, stunning scenery and fresher than fresh seafood. Sun, sea, sand, and sport!
Estonia
If your team is bored of the usual cricket tours then why not suggest ice cricket in Estonia? The game is simple, cricket played on a frozen lake or in a Soviet Missile Factory. You’ll find it easy to organise tournaments no matter what your teams’ age or ability, and the fun doesn’t stop there.
You can also try karting, shooting, curling, and snowmobiling. The food is great, the hotels are more than comfortable, and it’s an experience your team will never forget. Estonia is a great location if you only want a short break and you haven’t got a massive budget. Your team will certainly thank you for offering them something more unique than your average cricket match.
If none of these destinations take your fancy then why not look out for tours in Malta, Amsterdam, or other European destinations. For those of you that are prepared to go long haul then South Africa, Australia, Dubai or Barbados will give your team a holiday they deserve.
