Gonzaga are a powerhouse of High School Rugby in the United States. Back to back National Champions in 2023 and 2024, we have been delighted that they have chosen Sky High Sports as their Tour Operator for their Tours to France, Argentina & now Italy. The School travel with three teams, two at U18 and one at U16 as well as a brilliant band of Parent Supporters. The remit of the tour is clear - travel to prepare for their National Championship campaigns, embrace new Rugby Cultures, thrive in new envionments and experience off-the-track destinations.
The Tour started in Verona, with some time spent at the magnificent Payanini Centre, the state-of-the-art home of Rugby Verona. An intense training programme, including a coaching clinic with 1st XV players from Benetton Treviso, front loaded the tour ahead of games at Rugby Colorno & Rugby Rovigo, two icons of Italian Rugby. A Pro-Experience at Zebre Rugby Parma gave the team an insight into the life of a Pro Player, providing incredible learning opportunities to take back home.
Alongside the Players Tour, the Parents enjoyed the finer things Italy has to offer. A Cruise on Lake Garda, Wine Tasting in Valpolicella, a Prosciutto & Parmegiano experience in Parma, sightseeing in Venice & some phenomenal restaurants provided plenty of La Dolce Vita between the Rugby Matches.
Off the field, the team experienced some awesome White Water Rafting in the Dolomites, Paintball near Parma & time in Venice alongside their Parents.
We look forward to working with Peter & the Gonzaga group for many years to come.
Richie and his team are the consummate professionals and provide the highest degree of service. Any question or request, the first response is "Let us see if we can make that happen." And usually they make it happen unless it is something out of their control. We feel like it is a true partnership and that our best interests are always at the front of everything they do. We are continually letting others know about how good the tours are with Sky High Sports.

What an incredible experience touring Japan! We are so grateful to our gracious hosts and the entire rugby community in Japan for the warm hospitality, competition, camaraderie, and friendship.
The level of skill, technique, and passion for the game that we witnessed from Japanese players was truly exceptional. We have learned so much and have been inspired by your skill based approach to the game. This trip has been an invaluable opportunity for our players to grow and learn both on and off the field.
A big thank you to the parents, supporters, friends, and families who made this tour possible. And of course, a heartfelt appreciation to our amazing coaching staff and team management for their vision, mentorship and leadership.
Most importantly, we are in awe of the young men who represented the Grizzlies with such pride, integrity and class. You are outstanding ambassadors for the Grizzlies, your home club and school programs. This experience has been outstanding because of all of you.
We can’t wait to return to Japan next year and continue building these incredible connections within the global rugby family.
Arigatou gozaimasu, Japan!

English Championship Club Caldy RFC embarked on two Italian Tours in the Spring of 2025 with Sky High Sports. Their U16 visited Parma, whilst their U17 spent time in the beautiful city of Verona. Given the large touring squad, we arranged A & B fixtures with teams from Rugby Lyons Piacenza, Rugby Colorno, Rugby Formigine & Rugby Modena, giving the tourists a taste of both top-level clubs & brilliant community level organisations. The team also embarked on the brilliant Zebre Parma Rugby Experience at Stadio Lanfranchi, arranged by Zebre GM & ex-Italy second-row George Biagi.
We set out to make memories for all the 46 players, 54 parents including 8 coaches associated with Caldy RFC U15. We achieved that goal and much more. The city, venues, itinerary, host clubs, standard of rugby and our SHS chaperones were exceptional throughout, going above & beyond, and we all had a fantastic weekend. A weekend that will live long in the memory for many years to come. The itinerary worked really well and the timings meant we were never late or rushed. The other activities such as Karting, Wine Tasting and Ferrari museo all worked brilliantly. It was a fantastic experience all round.

Stirling County RFC, one of Scotland's Premier Clubs travelled to South Yorkshire on their Mini Rugby Tour in May 2025, stopping off at the Tynedale RFC Festival on the way home across the border. Initially booking to stay at a Kingswood Centre, their sad insolvency meant a re-jig of Plan A. Never phased to find a solution, Tom re-routed the tour to the excellent PGL Centre in Yorkshire & we were delighted with the result despite the obstacles along the way.
Tom and the Team at Sky High Sports made the process of organising a Tour of 57 kids and 16 adults much more pleasurable than it would've been without their help, all in what turned out to be very trying circumstances out with either our or KHS's control. The Tour we ended up with was excellent and ran almost seamlessly, including the weather. Travel, accommodation, team building activities and arrangements at the Tynedale Minis Festival were all excellent. I'd definitely use SHS again!
