Educational Sports Tours

Welcome to Global Football. We provide football players of
all ages, their coaches, families and supporters, the
opportunity to participate in high-profile events around
the world. Through an extensive network of football
contacts and business partners, Global Football has
developed a broad spectrum of games, tournaments,
tours, camps and bowls, each targeted to a specific age
group and talent level.
Hope you can join us!


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.

Scotland to London

Day 1 > Depart USA
Day 2 > Highlands via Loch Lomond
Day 3 > Glencoe & Loch Ness
Day 4 > Highlands & Edinburgh
Day 5 > Edinburgh Sightseeing
Day 6 > Transfer to London
Day 7 > Game Day in London

Day 1 – Overnight Flight

Cross the Atlantic on board your jet and enjoy a movie and a
meal and the sunrise as you descend into Scotland next
morning.


Day 1 – Fly to Scotland


Day 2 – Highlands & Loch Lomond

Head for the hills (well, the Highlands, actually). On the way,
you'll pass the largest expanse of fresh water in Britain. Loch
Lomond is five miles wide at its broadest point and has more
than 30 islands in the middle of it, three of which are
inhabited. It's a favorite recreational spot for the Scots and is
full of native wildlife.


Highlands - Castle


Highlands Landscape


Loch Lomond


Day 3 – Loch Ness & Glen Coe

The idea that Loch Ness is inhabited by some sort of mysterious aquatic
beast has been around for more than 1,500 years. If the monster does
exist, the misty Loch, which is 24 miles long and as deep as 700 feet,
would be the perfect place for Nessie to hide.


Glen Coe


Loch Ness


Nessie?


Day 4 – Highlands & Edinburgh

Dramatic peaks. Small lochs. Peaceful glens. Sheep. Pass
through the heart of the Scottish countryside. Renowned for
its natural beauty, the area was a favorite spot of poet
William Wordsworth.
Stirling Castle: The site of the battles in ‘Braveheart’, this
huge gray stone castle towers over the countryside from its
position up high on a cliff, enabling its inhabitants to survey
the main north-south and east-west routes across Scotland.
The castle has been strategically important to Scotland for
centuries and has passed back and forth between Scottish
and English control innumerable times. Mary, Queen of Scots
was crowned in the castle, but she's not among the many
ghosts said to make their homes here. The castle is
architecturally and artistically beautiful, with Renaissance
and medieval elements and breathtaking views.

Robert The Bruce


William Wallace / Braveheart


William Wallace Memorial


Day 5 – Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle, the historical and emotional heart of the city,
is just one of the many sights you will see on this tour, led by a
licensed professional guide. Make your way along the Royal Mile,
the main thoroughfare of the 16th and 17th centuries. (It's
actually one mile and 107 yards long—from Edinburgh Castle to
the Palace of Holyrood House). As you make your way along
cobbled streets, you'll see a handful of the several thousand
buildings officially protected in Edinburgh because of their
architectural or historic importance. The 200-foot spire of the Sir
Walter Scott monument soars above the East Princes Street
Gardens. Grand figures from Scottish history adorn its heights,
make sure you also look down -- the figure below the marble
statue is Scott's favorite dog, Maida.

Palace of Holyrood House


Edinburgh – Carlton Hill

Kilts & Clans


Bagpipes


Haggis, Neeps & Tatties

Day 6 – Transfer to London

Step outside your hotel, for a stroll through the streets of the
heart of the English-speaking world. In this city of nearly
seven million, you'll see everything from 12th-century
fortifications to modern skyscrapers, formal parks to punk
rockers. Your Tour Director will lead you to some of the most
famous sites. Walk along the Thames River. Cross Trafalgar
Square. See bustling Piccadilly Circus. Pass trendy shops
and cafés in Bohemian Soho on your way to Covent Garden,
a 13th-century fruit and vegetable garden transformed into a
maze of narrow streets and pedestrian walkways burgeoning
with street performers, open-air markets and boutiques.


London Phone Boxes

new friends with your British opponents and enjoy time
together off the field.

Game Day In London


Day 8 – London Sightseeing

Join a licensed local guide for an in-depth look at
London, from the royal haunt of Buckingham Palace
(the official London residence of Queen Elizabeth II)
to see the changing of the guard (season
permitting), to the clock tower of Big Ben with its
14-ton bell, and Westminster Abbey, where almost
every English king and queen since William the
Conqueror has been crowned. After a stop at the
Houses of Parliament, continue on to the
magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral, the masterpiece of
London architect Christopher Wren.

Day 8 – London Free Time

Make the most of a free day-this could be the
perfect opportunity to hang out in Hyde Park, catch
up on the world of contemporary art at the Tate
Modern or shop London's famous High Street...the
city is yours to explore. Tonight, you could check
out the youthful, bustling scene in Leicester
Square, a central meeting spot for mirthful revelers
and home to plenty of pubs, bookstores and
restaurants.


Shopping at Camden Market


Westminster Abbey


Notting Hill - London


Day 8 – Optional Theatre

In the afternoon you will have
free time to explore the city on
your own.

Opt to enjoy a night or afternoon
at the theater. You could see a
play in the West End, the British
version of Broadway,

We end the evening with an
included awards dinner and time
to reflect on your trip and
experiences in Dublin & London.


Day 9 – Return Home

It’s time to say farewell to London and head home after
breakfast at your hotel. We will transfer to the airport by
motor coach and board your flight which will arrive home
later today when you can recount your stories and
adventures from your time in Scotland & England.


Day 9 – Fly Home
