Family Welcome!

Invite your family to join you and cheer you on during this sports career milestone!

Can my family come with me?

Yes, absolutely! We’d love to host them. Family members can register to travel with you and experience the tour alongside you.

How much does it cost for family to join?

Family members pay the same price as athletes. They receive the same package inclusions, so they can enjoy the full tour experience too.

Can I room with a family member?

Yes! You can choose to share a room with your family or room with another athlete. We’ll work with you to arrange your preferred option.

What if my family wants to plan their own trip? Can they still spectate the games?

The short answer is––yes, family can spectate the games even if they aren't registered with Beyond Sports.

​

The long answer––if spectating the games is a top priority for your family while they travel, we strongly advise that they join us as a registered traveler. Game times, and even venues, can change last minute because of local team schedules. This variability can make it challenging for non-registered family to arrange their own activities and transportation.

​

We love welcoming family on these tours! They’ve been part of your sports career from the beginning. This is a chance for them to be there for another big moment.

Can my family watch the games on live-stream?

This is not something we can guarantee will be available. Unfortunately, most international exhibition games are not live-streamed.

Will this help me get recruited to play internationally after college?
