Competition, Coaching & Culture in Europe
Birkenhead School toured the Netherlands and Belgium in August with Sporta, enjoying competition, professional coaching, and rich cultural experiences. Across six action-packed days, the squads took part in high-level pro-coaching sessions with Dutch and Belgian coaches, visited iconic venues such as the AJAX Stadium and the Men's & Women's World Cup matches, and competed in six fixtures, securing four victories, one loss and a draw.
On-the-ground tour reps Chris and Monique kept everything running seamlessly, even flexibly adapting excursions so the group could explore Waterloo.
Summarising the experience, Lead Staff Member Darryl Taylor praised the seamless delivery and support, sharing: "Our second trip with Sporta and we'll tour again no doubt. It was a great tour and the ground agents were very good and amazingly took a lot of stress out of the trip.”
