Combining several sports teams for a tour can greatly increase its success; generating better team spirit and bringing together a wider cross-section of sporting men and women due to the lower costs for a larger group size.
The multi sport tour option is particularly popular with schools and universities. Any combination of football, cricket, rugby, netball and hockey, in addition to other sports such as Basketball, can be included within the same tour to create a tailored tour.
Our experienced staff are dedicated to providing a professionally organised, hassle free combined sports tour tailored to your specific requirements. Members of our team have travelled on similar tours at school and university and understand what is required to ensure a tour takes place. We have also travelled on many multi-sport tours as tour leaders and would be delighted to pass on our experiences with those of our past touring teams to ensure your next Burleigh Travel sports tour will be one to remember.

Frequently Asked Questions
A multi-sports tour lets your school, college, university or club combine two or more sports in one trip—ideal for mixed squads, year groups and whole-school tours. We tailor each itinerary around your dates, budget and objectives, then schedule balanced fixtures, training and downtime so every team gets meaningful game time. Typical combinations include football, rugby, netball, hockey, cricket, basketball and athletics, but we’ll adapt to your programme. With more than 30 years of experience designing multi-sport trips, Burleigh Travel understands how to coordinate complex itineraries that run smoothly for every sport. You’ll work with a coordinator who understands the logistics of running parallel teams: sensible transfer times, nearby venues, and rooming that keeps age groups together. The outcome is a well-structured multi-sports tour that maximises participation, builds school spirit and delivers great value, whether you’re planning pre-season preparation, enrichment week or an end-of-year celebration.
Mix any sports that suit your group—common pairings are football & rugby, netball & hockey, or cricket. We map the week by venues and travel time, then layer in fixtures, coaching blocks and optional tournament entries. Rest days and recovery windows are built around your priorities—beach time, activities, city sightseeing or a pro-club stadium tour. If you need extra minutes for development players, we can add training games or small-sided festivals. Every multi-sports itinerary is presented day-by-day with clear meet points, KO times and contingency plans, so staff and students always know what’s next.
Every package is bespoke, but most include: appropriately matched fixtures for each sport, venue hire and liaison with host schools or clubs; accommodation suited to your group profile; and transport—flights (if required), airport transfers and local coach hire. Can arrange, extra games, stadium or museum visits, group meals and social activities. You’ll receive a detailed proposal with inclusions/exclusions, rooming lists, and payment stages, plus a final travel pack with timings, and contacts. Dietary needs and medical considerations are collated in advance, and we’ll advise on kit, equipment storage and water breaks. Our goal is a smooth, great-value multi-sports tour package where staff focus on students - not logistics.
Getting the competitive level right is central to a successful multi-sports tour. We start with your squad profiles - ages, recent results, objectives and preferred formats—then source fixtures through trusted networks for each sport. Our 30+ years in sports travel give us established contacts across all major sports, ensuring that every team—from elite to development level—enjoys suitable and rewarding opposition.
Choose from UK hubs, short-haul European multi-sports destinations, or long-haul options aligned to your calendar and budget. Short-haul works brilliantly for long weekends or four-night tours with excellent facilities and strong school/club links. Long-haul itineraries can add sunshine, cultural visits and bigger festival days. Share your preferred month and sports mix; we’ll advise on climate, pitch and court availability, and local season timing to secure suitable opposition. We also recommend travel windows that fit exam schedules and inset days. Your proposal will balance fixtures, rest days and sightseeing so students return inspired, not exhausted - making your multi-sports school tour or club trip as rewarding off the field as it is on it.
Tell us your dates, numbers, sports mix and goals; we’ll return a tailored multi-sports tour itinerary with transparent pricing per student and staff ratios. Together we refine fixtures, accommodation and transport, then secure arrangements with an agreed deposit and staged payments. Before departure you’ll receive final documents—confirmed fixtures, timings, rooming, emergency contacts and guidance for staff briefings. Flight-inclusive packages are arranged with licensed providers, and the appropriate financial protections apply under UK regulations. Need fundraising ideas, consent templates or kit lists? We’ll share practical resources. Our role is to keep planning simple, communication clear and budgets on track—so your tour runs smoothly from first enquiry to safe return.
