Outline of trip – aims and itinerary The tour itself will include two girls’ hockey teams and two boys’ football teams and will follow a similar format to the hockey tours that we have previously organised.

Whilst we are on tour, we will play four/five fixtures in Holland, include a trip to Amsterdam, with a view to taking in some culture, a visit to a leisure pool and inevitably some ‘retail therapy’! The finale to our tour will be in Paris, where we will spend two days at Disneyland Paris, giving the tourists a fantastic finish to, what will undoubtedly be, a highly memorable trip. All these plans are provisional and subject to confirmation over the next few months. In the past, parents have travelled out to support the teams and enjoyed a team meal on one of the evenings and this would be most welcome.
