Frequently Asked Questions
We design tailor-made hockey tours that put your squad’s experience first. From your first enquiry, a dedicated coordinator will shape a plan around your dates, budget, age group and standard. We source suitable opposition, secure quality AstroTurf pitches, and balance fixtures with travel times and downtime. Whether you’re arranging a school hockey tour, club tour, university tour or women’s hockey trip, we handle fixtures, accommodation, transport and excursions so coaches can focus on players. With more than 30 years of experience delivering successful sports tours, Burleigh Travel ensures every detail is organised to professional standards. You’ll receive a clear, day-by-day itinerary, practical advice on kit and safety, and responsive support throughout. The aim is competitive hockey, smooth logistics and outstanding value—delivering a memorable tour that builds confidence, team spirit and lasting friendships.
Pick from a wide range of hockey tour destinations in the UK, Europe and further afield. Popular short-haul choices include Holland, Belgium, Spain and Malta for excellent facilities, strong opposition and great value. Longer itineraries can add cultural visits, beach time or stadium tours to balance match days with Barbados being the go to destination. Tell us your preferred month, squad profile and playing priorities; we’ll advise on climate, pitch availability, local leagues and best travel windows for pre-season training camps, mid-term breaks or end-of-season celebrations. We then propose a route that minimises coach hours, fits school or club timetables where relevant, and gives your group the right mix of fixtures and free time.
Every itinerary is bespoke, but most hockey tour packages include: appropriately matched fixtures (11-a-side or small-sided), pitch hire, liaison with host clubs/schools and, where required, match officials. We arrange group-appropriate accommodation in convenient locations, plus transport—flights, airport transfers and local coach hire. Add-ons can include extra games, training sessions on water- or sand-based Astro, fitness access, tournament entries, museum or stadium visits, activities, sightseeing, and group meals. You’ll receive a transparent proposal detailing inclusions/exclusions, rooming plans and payment stages. Before travel we issue a comprehensive travel pack with timings, contacts and practical tips. Our job is to streamline the admin so your players enjoy the hockey and the experience.
Getting the level right makes the tour. We start with your squad profile: age groups, recent results, preferred formats and objectives (development, pre-season sharpness, tournament prep or social). Using established networks, we source suitably matched opposition, confirm AstroTurf availability, and plan travel-sensible kick-off times. You’ll see fixture proposals to review before we lock them in. Thanks to our 30+ years in the sports travel industry, our relationships with clubs and associations help us secure balanced, high-quality fixtures for every team level. The result is a schedule that stretches players appropriately, keeps spirits high and delivers a genuine hockey experience.
Yes—our tailor-made hockey tours are built for all team types: juniors and schools, senior clubs, universities, women’s squads and mixed teams. For youth groups we prioritise safeguarding, sensible transfer times, suitable accommodation and engaging educational or cultural excursions. For senior and university groups we can emphasise competitive fixtures, social time and tournament entries. Throughout planning and on tour, you’ll have a clear point of contact and a practical itinerary that supports coaches, teachers and organisers.
It’s simple. Share your dates, numbers, budget and aims; we’ll return a tailored hockey tour itinerary with transparent pricing. Together we refine fixtures, hotels and transport, then secure arrangements with an agreed deposit and staged payments. Before departure you’ll receive final documents with confirmed fixtures, timings, contacts and rooming lists.
