Ideal for both rugby and football groups, Canada is a fantastic choice for a long-haul school multisports tour.
School Multisport Tour to Canada
Soccer, as it is known in Canada, boasts the greatest number of registered players of any team sport in the country, with many cities, including both Toronto and Vancouver, boasting their own professional teams. And rugby is also growing in popularity, with its strongholds in British Columbia and Ontario.
When your students aren’t on the pitch, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of Canada’s incredible landscapes, have a go at some adventure sports and take in a professional sporting fixture.
