ABOUT US
14 years of connecting the world through sports, and counting!
Our Story
At Beyond Sports, we believe in the transformative power of sports and travel. Since 2010, we’ve been providing athletes with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to take their sport abroad while immersing themselves in new cultures. With over 10,000 travelers and counting, we’re proud to offer programs that combine athletics, cultural exploration, leadership development, and personal growth.
Our mission is simple: to connect the world through sports. Through our international sports programs, we connect athletes with the world around them—helping them grow not just as players, but as leaders and global citizens. From the courts and fields to cultural landmarks and local communities, our programs offer a holistic experience that goes far beyond the game.
Beyond Sports was founded by former college athletes who understood the unique impact that sports and travel can have on personal development. Starting with just a handful of programs, we've since grown into a global leader in international sports tours, offering experiences for athletes of all levels. Each year, we expand our reach, always staying true to our commitment to meaningful travel and personal growth.

Our Values
The driving forces behind every tour we design.
People-First
We put people at the heart of everything we do. This means prioritizing each individual’s needs, well-being, and personal goals, whether they’re participants, staff, or local partners. We believe that creating meaningful, impactful experiences begins with understanding and caring for each individual.
Community-Building
Building community is central to what we do––connecting people across cultures through shared experiences and a common love for sports. Our tours are designed to create a strong sense of camaraderie, where participants not only build friendships within their group, but also connect with the global community. This focus on community-building fosters an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere that extends far beyond the duration of the tour.
Growth through Experience
We recognize that the lessons athletes gain from sports experiences are essential life skills that extend far beyond the game (i.e. resilience, teamwork, leadership, etc.)
Our tours are crafted to reinforce these tools by placing athletes in immersive environments where they continue to learn and grow. Through facing new challenges, engaging in cross-cultural experiences, and navigating unfamiliar settings, athletes strengthen their adaptability, communication, problem-solving abilities, and more.
This experience nurtures not only their athletic potential but also equips them with a toolkit of real-world skills that will drive their future success in all areas of life.
