THE TRADITION BEGAN…

    I
      n 1984, a college basketball coach created an opportunity for a group of twelve high school basketball players to com-
      pete against international competition in Europe. The opportunity for young players from a regional area to play in an
      international tournament was never previously attempted. The squad of twelve represented every skill level imagin-
    able. This group of players from the heartland of a central Illinois conference developed a chemistry that awarded them
    the championship of the Ireland Emerald Cup Basketball Tournament. The Coach was current CEO Rik Seymour and that
    tour experience formed the foundation of the company, 365 Sports.

    Seymour resigned from college basketball in 1991 and turned his complete focus toward developing the leaders of
    tomorrow by working with the youth of today. Seymour is well respected throughout the international sports fraternity,
    having dedicated over thirty years to uniting American Youth with the Young People from all over the World. He has had

that will remain with them for a lifetime. Athletes will have
the opportunity to compete in their own International
Championship while interacting off the “playing field” with
athletes from many countries. The 365 Sports Program
focuses on five primary development steps:

I.   The Selection Procedure for Admission to Your USA
     Team
II. Raising Support and Building Awareness
III. Meeting New Teammates, Coaches & Developing
     Friendships
IV. Compete Internationally in your Sport Tournament,
    Experience Another Culture and Customs
V. Share your Experience with Others, Gain Exposure
   and Build Recognition to gain the Opportunity for a
   College Scholarship.

For students and their parents, it is truly a “once in a
lifetime experience.” Although the primary focus of all
our international tours is the actual educational experi-
ence, every program we administer does place a strong
emphasis on providing each participant with a challenge
to improve their leadership and athletic skills. With this
as the foundation, we feel the future and sanctity of our
country lies with the students of today. There is no text-
book or class that can teach an understanding between
two people of different nations, cultures, languages and
customs better than what you will experience firsthand
on a 365 Sports International Tour. International athletic
competition is the perfect way in which to experience the
sharing of knowledge between people of different na-
tionalities. Whether it’s Europe, China, Italy, Sweden, the
Bahamas or Hawaii in the United States, your adventure
will be exciting and memorable.

Our family of participants was established on personal
service. 365 Sports consists of employees, tour guides

Bahamas 2020

    M    aximize your college exposure, impact your team, and become a more efficient leader. Develop the skills and
         intangibles to transform your game.

    Prior to departing for your Bahamas International Tournament experience, you will engage in a one of a kind Intense
    Training Camp, where players will be challenged physically and mentally. Participants will have the opportunity to
    test their talents against top Bahamian Teams, and when not competing, participants will have the thrill of a lifetime!
    Be it the beaches, beauty or culture, few places in the world attract more visitors than the Bahamas. The delegation
    will stay at the Comfort Suites at Atlantis/Paradise Island. Athletes will enjoy full access to the Atlantis Water Park
    and Aquaventure, an incredible 141-acre water experience featuring multiple high-speed waterslides, a mile long
    tube river ride and 11 uniquely themed large swimming pools. Shopping and bargains await the barterer at the ven-
    dor-filled Nassau Straw Market.

    As players depart the Bahamas and embark on their journey home, they will have gained new friends, great stories and
    an irreplaceable experience that will be a lifetime of memories.

                    “My son had a great time on his trip to Europe. We all feel that his experience
                    with your program definitely contributed to his being offered a scholarship
                    opportunity.”

     intangibles to transform your game.

     What a thrill it will be to be part of the 365 Sports Australia group
     representing the USA in competition with the Aussies!

     Sydney, Australia is a city that offers an experience like no
     other…a trip to the Historic Rocks District in the Old Quarter for
     starters, followed by a stop at the world famous Sydney Opera
     House. Experiencing the 20th century architectural masterpiece
     is a must see for every visitor, as is a scenic cruise of the Sydney
     Harbour. The group can enjoy free time between games by visiting Darling Harbour, Sydney’s harbour-side playground
     with specialty shops, exhibition centers, food court, the Maritime Museum and the Sydney Aquarium. And, an afternoon
     at the world famous Bondi Beach is a must for any group.

     Following the conclusion of the tournament and Awards Ceremony, teams will have the opportunity to enjoy a genuine
     BBQ Outback Experience! There you will discover rural Australia, a sheep station, open campfires and great fun.

     To complete the Australian experience the group will travel to the Great Barrier Reef, explore the rain forest, meet some
     famous Koala bears and Australian Kangaroos, as well as enjoy a bountiful Australian Tropical Buffet Lunch and a
     glass-bottom boat coral viewing.

     The Australian experience is an amazing event that will create friendships and memories to last a lifetime!

ITALY 2020

     M     aximize your college exposure, im-
           pact your team, and become a more
     efficient leader. Develop the skills and
     intangibles to transform your game.

     The Italy tour includes incredible
     opportunities for a great cultural experi-
     ence mixed with awesome competition
     against the best Italy has to offer. Following
     the flight from the USA to Italy, with two
     magical days in Rome, our trip offers the
     group amazing tours of the Vatican, the Sis-
     tene Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, St. Peter’s
     Square, the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, The
     Forum, dinner at one of the many wonderful
     outdoor restaurants and much, much more.

     Departing Rome, the delegation travels
     through the beautiful Italian countryside to the town of Spoleto, know as the City of Art, where our group settles for
     duration of the trip.

     Here, the teams will be able to explore a Roman Amphitheater built in the 2nd Century AD, a 1st Century Roman Bridge
     and the Albornozian Castle with a panoramic view of the surrounding valley, as well as explore the Piazza del Mercato,
     one of Spoleto’s cultural and shopping districts. The evenings in Spoleto, after the Opening Ceremony, will allow for not
     only terrific competition against the Italian teams, but time to spend with the Italian host teams sharing and learning
     from each other.

     By the time the group returns to the Rome airport for our flight home, you will have experienced a trip of a lifetime that
     few athletes ever have.

                    “My son and our family have traveled on 2 basketball tours to Russia and Ire-

     tation of the Claret Jug, one of golf’s most
     coveted trophies.

     An additional two-day trip extension is
     available for those who would love to see
     some of the history and tradition available
     in one of the world’s greatest cities, Lon-
     don, England. Before returning to the USA,
     our group will see Buckingham Palace
     and the changing of the guard, Big Ben,
     Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, The
     Tower of London and much, much more!

     From the excitement of the Open Championship, the challenging golf, the history in London, and the amazing hospitality
     of the Scottish people, our golf delegation will have an experience of a lifetime!

CHINA 2020

     L  ocated in Shenyang, China, a city of over 8 million people
        and the soccer-center of China, our soccer group will
     participate in the Gothia Cup China. Attracting teams from
     over 40 countries, the Gothia Cup kicks off the tournament
     with an Opening Ceremony like no other - a two-hour gala
     in a 50,000-seat stadium from the 2008 Olympic Games,
     featuring music, singing, dancing, and fireworks, along with
     the presentation of the flags of all the competing nations.
     Imagine wearing the red, white and blue USA uniform and
     competing against players from all over the world!

     Opportunities abound for our group to visit some of China’s
     most sacred sites, with mammoth statues represent-
     ing China’s history, set among the giant Ginkgo trees in
     neighborhoods and shopping districts. As your team tours
     the Shenhe District, the central area of the city of Shen-
     yang, you will be able to visit Zhong Street, one of the most
     famous shopping streets in all of China.

     All teams will compete in pool play, playing each team in a
     group of 4 or 5 teams. The first and second place teams in
     the pool advance to the championship elimination tourna-
     ment, and teams finishing third, fourth, and fifth advance to another elimination tournament.

                                                                     Staying alongside teams from other countries at the

TRAVEL SAFETY

     PRIORITY #1 – SAFETY
     The number one priority for all 365 Sports trips is safety. Each athlete is cared for like they are our own child. While the
     world is ever changing, safety has jumped to the forefront in everyone’s mind and is our major focus wherever we go…
     in airports, hotels, restaurants and at competition venues. All of our destinations are places we have been to many
     times, and places the State Department deems safe for travel. We will never take our teams to an unsafe destination.
     With our group leaders and coaches averaging over 15 years experience in group- travel you can rest assured that your
     son’s or daughter’s safety will never be put in jeopardy.

     OUR STAFF AND COACHES ARE TRAINED
     We understand this may be the first international trip for your child and there may be a little apprehension regarding this
     tour. We want you to know that after decades of shepherding thousands of athletes around the globe, we empathize
     with you. We take the safety of our athletes seriously, and we, and our international partners at every destination, are
     obsessed with being perfect in the area of safety. The training of our coaches and other staff members emphasizes
     safety protocols and procedures that leave nothing to chance.

     ATTENTION TO DETAIL
     Our travel leaders inspect restaurants, hotels and competition venues for safety and security, always vigilant so our
     group has safe access. We heed the advice of our local guides and bus drivers, always avoiding questionable neighbor-
     hoods, and we equip our leaders with international cell phones and emergency numbers. And, our coaches are always
     coaching! And not just in their sport…but always teaching the correct and safe way to move about, whether getting
     through airport security, navigating customs and immigration, hotel check-ins and check-outs, when shopping, or just
     enjoying a sight-seeing tour.

     So, with these safety protocols in place and with the expertise of our well-trained staff, our travel party can relax and
     enjoy the cultural exchanges and competitions they trained for. And for additional peace of mind, 365 Sports maintains
     a 24-hour emergency response team so families can quickly reach their son or daughter whenever and wherever in the
     event of a family emergency back home. Our goal is a stress-free experience and we train to make that a reality!

                   “Our Switzerland Tournament was outstanding, the tours and hotels were
                   excellent. I would highly recommend your program every year to athletes
                   and coaches.”
                   — Keith B., Coach, Florida
