Global Football

‘UNITING THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD THROUGH AMERICAN FOOTBALL

WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM

Patrick Steenberge
Coach,
My name is Patrick Steenberge and I played
Quarterback and lettered two seasons under coach Ara
Parseghian at Notre Dame. It was at school that I
learned the importance of team work and also of the
power, influence and importance of international travel.
Global Football is an international sports travel
organization providing the opportunity for young
amateur athletes from different countries to compete
against one another, while experiencing and learning
firsthand about each other's cultures, customs and
history.
At Global Football we believe in, and indeed see every
year, the incredible effect of educational sports travel.
At the beginning of each new football season hundreds
of our travelers (players, staff, coaches, family, fans
and friends included) return home better citizens, more
confident, more enthusiastic in the classroom and on
the playing field; more engaged in the world around
them; better prepared for life and more likely to make a
difference to each other as team mates.
Lead an educational sports tour with us and you’ll get
your students’ attention and keep it. And best of all
you’ll make a difference in their lives. I encourage you
to contact one of your fellow coaches who have traveled
with us to hear what their experiences were.
Happy trails!
Patrick Steenberge
President Global Sports Group.

Fly to Central Europe


Prague – Czech Republic


Prague - Introduction

Matička Praha - 'little mother Prague' - was largely undamaged
by WWII, and the cityscape is stunning. Its compact medieval
centre remains an evocative maze of cobbled lanes, ancient
courtyards, dark passages and churches beyond number, all
watched over by an 1100-year-old castle.
Sightseeing in Prague means wandering through an invigorating
diversity of neighbourhoods and pounding the cobblestones
between old fortifications, historically resplendent squares and
streets, majestic church-fronts, green open-air cuttings, and
countless museum and gallery ticket booths.

Vienna - Introduction

Grandiose Vienna was the showpiece of the all-conquering
Habsburg Dynasty. Monumental edifices line the city centre,
world-class museums burst with treasures, white stallions strut
their way down mirrored halls, and renowned orchestras and
angelic choirboys perform in lavish concert halls.
Most of Vienna's main sights are crammed into the Innere Stadt.
The district is adorned with the outstanding Gothic heights of
Stephansdom, the massive Hofburg (Imperial Palace), the
cultured history of the Judenplatz (Jewish quarter) and a
scattering of historic streets and squares.
