Military Sports Tours  

"The EXPERTS in delivering bespoke playing tours for Army, Navy and RAF sports clubs."

Teamlink has a long and successful relationship with sports teams from the UK Forces, regularly organising overseas playing tours for ALL team sports. Each season we send dozens of military teams around the world on bespoke playing trips, ranging from Spain to San Francisco and Amsterdam to Auckland. We cover all sporting disciplines and pair teams against a combination of local sides and military outfits in their chosen destination.

Our service also encompasses the planning and organisational side of your trip. Our TEAM PAGES offer clubs the opportunity to view the progress of their sports tour on their own specific Teamlink webpage, which allows tour leaders to provide team mates with up to the minute news on their itinerary through a secure web link.

Military Sports Tours

  "I could not recommend Teamlink more, the excellent service starts from the initial enquiry and doesn't stop. Their advice and guidance ensured a fantastic experience both on and off the field of play. Their New Zealand operator was exceptional in every way and they ensured the tour party will never forget the hospitality shown. The fixtures were of a very equal standard ensuring all teams gained from the encounters. On behalf of REME Rugby I could not give enough thanks to the Lisa and Teamlink Travel for our exceptional awesome tour."

REME FA   "I'd like to take the opportunity to thank both Mark and yourself for the hard work you put in to our football tour to LA. It was a resounding success - everything ran like clockwork and the guys had a fantastic experience. The standard of football was spot on with all games being hard fought and resulting in being decided by a goal either way. The LA Galaxy experience was excellent with the added bonus of Beckham returning for the game against Dallas on the Saturday. The hotel location on Venice beach was perfect for our needs particularly with the proximity for the beach - I've never seen training sessions so popular. Rest assured I would recommend TeamLink and also utilise your services again. Once again thank you."

Flanders Military Tour

Flanders Military Tour

 

"We couldn't pin point a specific highlight of the tour- it was all amazing. The Flanders 10s tournament is the biggest 10s tournament in Europe with; 32 men’s teams, 16 women’s team and 12 veterans teams played over 2 days. This is a truly international tournament with teams from Belgium, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The standard varied from serious to social rugby for the Men’s team, and very competitive for all our women’s side, who lost in the plate final. There were 6 good pitches over 3 sites, all walking distance from the main stadium pitch. The tournament was played in temps over 30 degrees on both days, but free water was supplied to all teams and water breaks given where appropriate by referees.

This is an excellent international tournament, giving a great mix of serious and social touring teams playing a good standard of rugby. The Women’s part of the tournament is very competitive with a high standard of rugby. Hope to return with the Women’s Team next year."
