Holland Elite continues to expand its international presence through a series of exclusive sports tours designed for clubs, academies and schools aiming to compete at the highest level. Across multiple countries and in both football and field hockey, Holland Elite creates tailor-made touring experiences that combine elite competition, professional training environments and unforgettable cultural moments.
Fully Customised Programmes for Every Team
Holland Elite tours are fully customised programmes. Every tour is built around the specific objectives of the visiting team. Whether the focus is preparation for a new season, international exposure, team bonding or development against stronger opposition, each programme is carefully structured to deliver measurable sporting value.
Elite Hockey Experience in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, field hockey teams experience what is widely recognised as the highest level of youth hockey in the world. Holland Elite’s strong network allows international teams to compete against top Dutch clubs, train on water-based pitches and immerse themselves in a country where hockey is deeply embedded in the sporting culture. The emphasis is always on quality: high-level opposition, training sessions form pro-coaches, professional scheduling and facilities that meet elite performance standards.
Elite Football Tours in Spain and Beyond
Football tours follow the same philosophy. In Spain, for example, teams have trained under top Spanish coaches, experiencing a different tactical approach and football identity. The opportunity to train in a country known for its technical excellence provides players with valuable new perspectives. Competitive fixtures are arranged against carefully selected opponents, ensuring matches that challenge and inspire.
Professional Planning and Support
Meticulous planning and strong international contacts form the backbone of every Holland Elite tour. Brett Garrard, Director of Hockey at Epsom College, highlighted the organisation, communication and attention to detail that define the experience. He described how Holland Elite worked tirelessly to create the best possible experience, allowing his staff to focus entirely on performance while the logistical side was handled professionally.
Jackie Blith (Academy Operations Co-ordinator at the Irish FA) emphasised how the combination of professionalism and personal care created an environment in which players could fully concentrate on their development. This balance between structure and flexibility is what allows Holland Elite to deliver tours that are both performance-driven and personally memorable.
Cultural Immersion Beyond Sport
Beyond the training sessions and competitive matches, Holland Elite believes that international touring should also broaden horizons. Cultural activities and sightseeing are integrated into each programme, strengthening team spirit and creating lifelong memories. From visiting iconic stadiums and sports museums to exploring historic European cities, these shared experiences often become just as valuable as the matches themselves.
Coaches frequently underline how these tours strengthen confidence, teamwork and communication within their squads. For many young athletes, competing abroad and experiencing a different sporting culture provides a significant boost in maturity and self-belief. The combination of elite sport and cultural immersion ensures that players grow not only as athletes, but also as individuals.
High-Quality Facilities and Accommodation
Facilities and accommodation are selected with the same level of care. Teams stay in high-quality hotels or sports campuses that support recovery and preparation. Training sessions are delivered on professional-grade pitches and fields, replicating an elite performance environment. Every detail, from airport transfers to match scheduling, is coordinated in advance to guarantee a seamless experience.
What ultimately sets Holland Elite apart is its full-service approach. The organisation manages the entire journey, allowing coaches and staff to focus entirely on their players. The goal is always the same: create an international sports tour that raises performance levels while delivering an experience that teams will remember for years to come.
With sports tours organised across multiple European destinations and in both football and field hockey, Holland Elite continues to build a reputation as a trusted partner for ambitious teams and schools worldwide.
