Sports Programs Abroad

Sports illuminate microcosms of societies. They represent the culture, the stylings, and the eccentricity of competing teams. Think of the World Cup, for example — hundreds of teams from around the world compete in healthy battle, each representing the best their country has to offer (if only the world wars could have been fought and resolved on a soccer field!). Now picture getting to explore each of these cultures through the very art of sport in your next adventure holiday. Kickstart, rally, and cheer for sports trips, where you’ll explore a country from the pitch, the court, or the field (et al.) for a real grand slam.

A Guide to Sports Adventure Travel

Locations

A love for competition might be an incentive to try out sports travel, but you’ll experience so much more. Use your passion as a drive to becoming the next sporting icon in one of these iconic sports trips destinations.

For all soccer fanatics, look no further than the capital of this sport — Spain! A European hub for football clubs and a getaway to this Spanish city will serve as a thoroughly inspiring adventure. With many courses available, like international sports camps for young boys between the ages of seven to 18, it won’t take long to “Bend it like Beckham.” If you’re a girl, fear not, there is still plenty of camps suited for all the Sporty Spices out there. Several of these sports vacation packages offer tours for any college, local team, or high school team looking to get away and compete in fun tournaments.

If running around on a muddy field isn’t your thing, why not swap it out for something drastically different? Picture sliding down icy hills at incredible speeds while taking in the breathtaking, snow-capped extravaganza of the Alps. A trip to France will truly stand out on your list of life's accomplishments. With accommodation just minutes from the range, you will feel completely centered in this amazing experience.

If you’re like mermaid or merman who just can’t get enough of the water, then explore sports travel in the waters of Oceanic countries. Just keep swimming and learn about marine conservation along the shores of New Zealand. Surfs up, mate, in the laid-back town of Byron Bay, Australia! Suit up and go scuba diving with your flippy-floppy fins in Fiji to feel like a fish in their colorful world. Build muscle, increase flexibility, and go with the flow as you learn from professionals.

I recently finished the four-week cooking course with Mente Argentina, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. This course stood out because it felt personal and genuine. The instructors shared technique their love of Argentine food and culture in an engaging manner. I left with more confidence in the kitchen and a real appreciation for Argentine hospitality and friendship. If you want something meaningful, hands-on, and unforgettable, Mente delivers exactly that.
