Sports Tours - Joint football & hockey tours to Rotterdam & Amsterdam
Everyone’s a winner with our combined football and hockey tours to Holland.
For a multi-sports tour extravaganza, bring together your football and hockey teams for a combined tour to the Netherlands. Historic Amsterdam and its dynamic neighbour, Rotterdam, are cities with a rich sporting history in both sports, being not only a hotbed of top-class hockey, but also the home of legendary Ajax FC, who transformed the beautiful game with their ‘total football’ philosophy. Both of your teams will enjoy a range of unforgettable experiences, from training with professional coaches and sports specialists, to having special educational workshops, and playing competitive friendlies against well-matched local teams.
And with so much more to explore in these vibrant cities, your students will also experience a range of fascinating and fun cultural excursions. Give your team a trip to remember on an NST sports tour to Holland’s sporting heartland
