The tour was an outstanding success and everyone had a fantastic time. The host clubs
were extremely hospitable and looked after us very well.
Simon Beadle | Basildon RFC Girls | Holland Tour
For a long time, Amsterdam has
been at the top of many people's
travelling ambitions. One of the
original party city venues for many
British tourists, the city is often a
choice for sporting teams looking
for a test against the best.
As long as you have a busy itinerary,
we are conodent that the city can
be a hit with Youth Teams and their
parents as well. With stadium tours,
canal cruises, visits to Madame
Tussauds, Dutch Windmills and
Cheese Farms and a Powerboating
Experience on the North Sea
available, keeping busy is not a
problem.
Immensely strong at Football, the
country also offers a growing Rugby
culture. The standard of the youth
game in and around Amsterdam is
very good. Don9t expect an easy
ride.
For the culture vultures, you cannot
look beyond the Dutch tradition of
hiring a bicycle and heading off
around the picturesque streets
where you will surely ond a few
surprises. Certainly one for U15 and
above, 9The Dam9 may just be the
one for you.
Colchester RFC U16 Toured to
Amsterdam in 2017.
Many would baulk at the idea of
taking such an age group to the
city.
A busy itinerary,
accommodation on the edge of
the city centre, plenty Rugby &
some great restaurants
combined to make it a very
successful trip.
Don9t rule this one out!
