Tours Reviews 

 

"An amazing opportunity to train and play basketball in America, developing both sporting and personal skills from the experiences on offer ..... and they are numerous! From the Nike individual training camp at the University of San Diego being coached by the staff and mentored by the basketball team members, to staying on campus in student dorms which provides a first-hand feel of what college basketball is in the US, to playing against local high school teams in the group camp (also held at USD), to playing in tournaments such as the Pacific Rim tournament in Honolulu (or in the Big Mountain Jam Tournament in Utah the previous year). Such a wealth of knowledge and experience is on offer for participants to tap in to and benefit from. The program is well structured and executed which provides confidence and along with clear communication ensures safety for all. There is a balance in the itinerary between training and playing basketball games, whilst also allowing time for sightseeing and recreational activities i.e. LA Sparks game, shopping, Disneyland, LA sightseeing to name but a few! Dave and Kerri provided an incredible experience to everyone that accompanied them on this bespoke tour. Super grateful to have been part of the 2023 trip.......travelling with Mia and the rest of the group, making memories that will last a lifetime."

"Thanks Dave and Kerri for such an amazing trip. First hand I had the pleasure of seeing our daughter test herself playing against some fantastic teams and players at both the University of San Diego, and then again during the tournament in Hawaii. I’m smiling writing this, remembering the good times we had, the fun in between matches, the smiles on the girls faces, and yep I’m still pinching myself about the experience we had with the girls in LA…The WNBA LA Sparks pre-game court side and then the girls being involved on court with the LA Sparks players was special…but just one of so many things we did. Thank you so much."

"Flynn had an amazing time on this tour. She relished the opportunity to receive high level coaching both from Dave & the coaches/players from San Diego Torreros and to further develop her game by playing against fantastic high school teams in San Diego & Hawaii. The other activities planned around the games were amazing, particularly the opportunity to be part of the pregame presentation with the LA Sparks. As parents, we knew that Flynn was in safe hands with Kerri & Dave, & she always felt safe & supported."

"Our daughter Ruby had an awesome experience being exposed to the University of San Diego and it’s first class facilities, participating in a highly reputable junior basketball Nike camp managed by the San Diego Toreros basketball program, playing against some of the best California high school basketball teams and finishing off with playing against some of the best Haiwaiin high school basketball teams in the Pacific Rim Tournament.

The tour is a fantastic blend of training, playing and some well deserved leisure.

David & Kerri are commended for structuring a great tour and demonstrate great care and concern for the girls welfare and development."
