“The Holland Indoor Tour was an incredible experience for our children to play some top Dutch teams. Holland Elite facilitated the overall experience with fantastic expertise, providing exactly the hockey we asked for and providing so much personal care that meant we could totally focus on the hockey. We couldn’t recommend their overall approach anymore- they combine professionalism and personal care with a deep understanding of how to expertly facilitate a performance sport tour. “
