Using the website, you can plan your school trip ideas by location or preferred sport. If it’s an England cricket tour you’re after, then students will be able to test their skills in the birthplace of cricket and soak up its rich history with a Lords Cricket ground tour. If you’d like to book a UK school trip or school trips to London, you’ll be able to find suitable sports tours all over the country.

Would you like to book school trips abroad? Take your England cricket tour to South Africa. Most games with your well-matched hosts are followed by a ‘braai’, a traditional barbeque. Your trip can be tailored with exciting excursions set against breathtaking, rugged scenery. You’ll discover netball, football, hockey, rugby and water polo sports tours to South Africa.

Thinking of heading to Spain? Edwin Doran hosts incredible football trips and unmissable Barcelona football stadium tours. If a tennis world tour is perfect for your school, then Spain’s wonderful climate – particularly towards the south in Estepona – is an ideal year-round destination for your school tennis tour. Rugby school tours are also available, with a variety of destinations including Asia, Africa, Europe and more.

Edwin Doran Sports Tours was launched as one of the first operators of its kind back in 1974, and quickly became a leading brand in sports travel around the world. The man himself, Edwin Doran, founded the company after escaping the bureaucratic working conditions of an insurance firm for the free and expansive travel business. He injected a passion for sport that’s a defining feature of the organisation to this day.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Whether it’s primary school trips or secondary school trips you’re planning on booking, your sports team tour will be packed with sporting events, tournaments and exciting match days for your club, plus each trip offers amazing team-building exercises for students.
