“I was able to not only play with people from all over the United States but I was also able to become a part of a diverse family. I got to see and play with numerous different styles of lacrosse and people and play top teams from Australia that not only taught me how to be a better player but gave me advice and information to take back to (my college) next season.”
“Traveling as a coach with USAAI has been the experience of a lifetime, not only having the opportunity to coach my own players, but to coach and interact with players from other schools and international athletes has been such a valuable and enriching experience. USAAI does an amazing job mixing competition with cultural experiences in these amazing countries around the world. I feel so lucky to have been given such an opportunity.”
“This was my second consecutive trip to Amsterdam with USAAI taking a men’s team to compete. It was fun touring another country, getting to coach different players from around the country, and competing against volleyball players in the Netherlands. I will treasure the time spent overseas learning and enjoying the game of volleyball.”
“USA Athletes tours are an opportunity of a lifetime! Yes, we can all travel… but the personal growth and broadened horizons for young adults through CULTURAL EXCHANGE OF THEIR SPORT is priceless! Because of USAAI, I have been fortunate enough to have coached, traveled, seen, and EXPERIENCED Europe, Australia, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. I learned quickly that no place is the USA (good and bad). If you are considering a tour or sending your athlete, and aren’t sure, feel free to contact me.”
“It’s been 21 years now. Other than my wife and kids, best thing I was ever a part of.”
“I have traveled with USAAI as an athlete and my experience was absolutely amazing! I will never forget it.”
“Parents if you are thinking about it. Don’t think just do it. Your child will thank you for such a wonderful experience. My son played Lacrosse in England & Scotland this past summer and formed new friendships and took in some amazing tours with wonderful views. Its money well spent.”
