Our club’s first-ever junior hockey tour exceeded all expectations thanks to the attention to detail paid by the staff at Edwin Doran. The fixtures were well-balanced and suited our range of abilities. Accommodation was superb. Highlights? Watching the opposing teams socialise and swap emails after matches, and the leisure activities arranged.

Sports clubs FAQs
How do you aim to get the right standard of fixtures?
Upon booking, we will send a group information form which will ask for further information regarding your fixture requirements, including team strengths. We will also arrange a virtual meeting or phone call to discuss your teams in more detail.
When will I receive my tour’s fixture list?
We aim to confirm all fixtures 4 weeks prior to travel. However, this is dependent on the destination. Fixtures may only be finalised closer to departure as we rely on the goodwill of teachers and coaches around the world.
Do we need travel insurance?
Yes. We provide travel insurance in partnership with Endsleigh Insurance which offers a policy specifically designed for your tour itinerary.
What support will I have from Edwin Doran whilst on tour?
A member of our team will be contactable 24/7 via an emergency number which can be found in your final tour pack. See our full list of accreditations to see how we’re committed to providing sports tours that adhere to the highest health and safety standards.
Do I need to get permission to go on a sports tour?
This depends very much on obtaining the players’ permission to tour. We will provide you with all the details you need to make the ‘form filling’ as simple as possible. Make sure you allow plenty of time for the process.
