Australia Sports Educational Travel

AUSTRALIA

 

Australia boasts fantastic facilities for all sports and is a top travel destination. From un-spoilt beaches, tropical rainforests, rugged mountain ranges and vast tracts of desert, Australia is a destination with marvelous and diverse things to see and do.

Australia is a year round destination and school sport is of a very high standard. Australians are fanatical about their sport so fixtures can be arranges in all major cities. whether you play hockey, rugby cricket, soccer, netball or any other sports.

Depending on the duration of the tour three cities can be targeted and include a few days of leisure at a destination like the 'Gold Coast'.

SPORTS ON THE GOLD COAST

The annual Gold Coast Rugby Carnival is the largest and longest running rugby event of its type in Australia and most of the clubs and schools who attend are Carnival regulars. Since its inception in 1993, nearly 600 clubs and schools from 10 countries have attended the Gold Coast Rugby Carnival.

Participating teams are placed into divisions with others of similar standard. Teams only play others within that pool. Each pool ideally will consist of 8 or 16 teams and trophies will be awarded at the Closing Ceremony to the winners within each pool. Competitions are played at Open, Under 16 and Under 15 levels.

The emphasis at our Carnivals is not on “all-out” competition but rather on encouragement of players, management and supporters to enjoy a holiday on Australia’s Gold Coast - one of the world’s premiere holiday destinations - whilst being part of a great sporting event.

Both the Rugby and the Netball Carnivals share the same ideals, that teams should come together on the Gold Coast to:


•  put their skills against a variety of opponents;
•  honour and respect the game and the opposing team, whatever the result, and
•  create and cement the lasting friendships that team sports have always produced.
