Case Study

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.

A brilliant group to work with & we were thrilled to recieve their kind feedback.

We're always delighted when Chiswick RFC get in touch. They are brilliant tourists and wonderful hosts for teams travelling to London & we couldn't be happier with the growing partnership we have with the club. This was one of four touring groups which departed on a SHS Tour in 2025 & the Minis chose to travel to Kent, competing in the festival at Folkestone RFC.

Case Study

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.

Case Study

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.
