While sport accolades and statistics are two of the primary criteria for the selection of our program's participants, we recognize that every successful team has impactful players whose value is not represented in numbers and awards. We seek to fill our rosters with student-athletes who demonstrate leadership, a passion for their sport, and enthusiasm to engage in a cross-cultural experience!
Each Beyond Sports team is coached by an NCAA or NAIA coach from a US-based school. Many of our tour coaches have traveled with us in the past as a part of an international team trip or a previous college tour. Tour coaches are announced in the spring.
To ensure relatively equal playing time for each player, rosters are limited to a sport-specific size; 8-10 players for basketball, 10-12 for volleyball, 14-16 for softball, 16-20 for soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. If we have to exceed roster limits, an additional game is added to the schedule to ensure ample playing time for each athlete.
Our Beyond Sports teams compete against local school and club teams that have been selected to match the competition level of our student-athletes.
Beyond Sports sports tours are not exposure events designed to connect athletes with pro contacts. We have had students in the past, however, who were able to make connections with local clubs that enabled them to launch an international career.
Tour students will share a room with 1-2 other players on the tour. All travelers have their own bed. If you are traveling with a teammate, friend, or family member, you are able to request to room together in the registration process.
