Ahead of 2020, we've upgraded our list of French destinations to a selection of exciting Rugby locations across the Country with excellent professional links with Top 14 Clubs. Allez!
The land of good food and good wine has rallied up our most-popular destination list since 2009. Have a look to see what joie de vivre we can bring to your team in 2018 with our growing selection of excellent tours.
From hops across the Channel, to flight tours into the glorious south, our tours put you into the unique Rugby Culture of France.
All tours come with a bi-lingual rep on-hand as standard.
I’m getting to old for this, still recovering from an excellent weekend having had very little sleep…
However, the tour was a blast and still being talked about now on our Tour WhatsApp Group. The locals and staff at the hotel and all venues were lovely and could not have done more for us… I think we made an excellent choice going to Cork and would strongly recommend any other touring teams thinking of going there "to do it" they will have a blast..
The food , staff and service at Thomond Bar Friday lunch time was just bliss, we were made to feel so welcome and told we had a lovely bunch of lads and they were a credit to the club.
The hotel put on food and a private room for Saturday’s ‘Kangaroo Court’ they also asked for a group photo for their social media sites, I have attached the picture for you. The second picture is the team in the Munster Rugby’s hospitality suite after their match on Friday evening wearing the mandatory tour green capes and masks…
The Woolshed Baa & Grill turned us away on Sunday because they didn’t want the under 18’s in for the match but ‘Reardon’s’ welcomed us with open arms, the locals in the bar were a bit shocked when we sang the English national anthem but enjoyed the fun and banter we had with them during the game.
Anyway, back to the grindstone now…
Jamie, you have been fantastic and I would not hesitate recommending anybody to Sky High Sports in the future..
Thanks you once again,
Kind regards,
Andy.
Bath RFC U10 Tour To Exeter
Gordon Robinson
Tour Leader
Exeter
2020
Case Study
Bath RFC U10s approached Sky High Sports in the summer of 2019 with the ambition of giving their Mini Rugby side their first taste of rugby touring.
Following a range of tour proposals put forward by Sky High Sports, The side agreed on Exeter as their chosen tour destination. A rugby-mad, compact City on the South West Coast within manageable travel distance for the young side.
The tour would be centred around a pro-fixture at Sandy Park, where Exeter Chiefs would host Bath Rugby in the Gallagher Premiership.
2 days before departure the South West experienced unprecedented rainfall with Spring storms battering the coast leading to widespread flooding in the region. Unsurprisingly, local rugby clubs didn't fair well with host clubs Exeter Athletic and Paignton RFC pitches unable to cope with the intense rainfall.
Thanks to the awesome efforts from our host clubs (Ben Lister at Exeter and Marc Norton at Paignton) we were able to change the venues in short-notice to ensure all fixtures went ahead.
It really shows that we are only as good as the great rugby people that we work with.
Despite a coach puncture to start the journey, the rest of the weekend went extremely well and most importantly, the young players from Bath RFC U10s were able to enjoy a fantastic introduction to rugby touring.
Please see below a tour review Bath RFC U10s Head Coach, Gordon Robinson.

It was absolutely brilliant, thanks!
Really impressed with the effort that Exeter Athletic and Paignton went to in order to have the matches go ahead, both at alternative grounds to where planned, but we made it work. Coach driver was great as well, and we wont blame him for the puncture to kick the tour off with!
All the lads, big and small, had a superb time, with a perfect balance between game time and fun, and I think we created some memories for the youngsters that will last. They were all beaming at the end, and were asking to do it again next season!
Thanks very much for your great work in getting the weekend arranged, it is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Gordon.

Ciaran Kelly
Working with Sky High Sports has been great. They have allowed us great flexibility throughout which has enabled us to add numbers easily. Rugby wise we have played 3 great games against some good Irish Teams. Sky High Sports took care of the pre & post game shenanigans and made sure they went well. The Tom Tom Chants will be a highlight... Our tour representative Tom has been great and he's now one of us.
Chris Edwards
The flexibility that Sky High Sports has offered has been huge. The itinerary was well planned and made enjoyable for all. Tom was very helpful in getting the team where they needed to be and was very accommodating throughout. A very memorable trip for the Banshees and the spectators.
Sunderland Colts Tour To Venice

The Sunderland Colts U18s Tour to Venice 2019 with Sky High Sports at the helm will certainly go down as the best tour we have had in the many many years of touring independently and with Sky High!
From start to finish Jamie our tour manager was on hand to organise and co-ordinate – leaving nothing to chance. We had an amazing time over 4 days in a top hotel with fantastic facilities. Completely blown away by the host clubs hospitality and some great games of competitive rugby.
It was a fitting end to Junior Rugby for the Sunderland Colts team, the end of an era, and suitably splendid finale of a tour. We had a blast, and having Jamie on tour with us was the icing on the cake!
Thank you so much.
Stirling County RFC U15s Tour To Parma

The Tour has been brilliant. Seen loads, great weather, great rugby, great people. It has been fantastic!
Parma is a really good place for a youth rugby tour. It's friendly and safe which means the boys can go off and do their own thing.
The highlight of the tour was definitely the Zebre game. The fans, the community and mixing in with everyone was great.

Case Study
The girls from Owen Sound were a privilege to host. We had the opportunity to meet the team at their School in the summer before the tour.
As part of our commitment to breaking down the perceived barriers of working with an international agency, we do get on the road with a view of meeting as many teams as we can. This was one such occasion.
The tour itself kicked off with a bang. The team had tickets to the Scotland-Wales match in the Six Nations at Murrayfield. Hearing Flower of Scotland sung in the stadium is a great tonic for jet lag!
The team stayed in Edinburgh, travelled through The Highlands to Oban on the West Coast & finished up in Glasgow. On the field, the highlight was a U18 girls tournament featuring teams from Scotland and England.
The Scottish Weather was in full force during the trip, so we hope to show the OSDSS Team some sunshine on a future tour elsewhere in Europe!

I have to say from start to finish Richie & Sky High Sports have been exceptional. From the initial stages of planning, Richie exceeded our expectations and continued to answer every question we had. It was also great to have Richie visit Owen Sound to make a presentation to the team and the parents before the tour.
The activities and meals throughout the tour were exceptional and the organisation of this was unbelievable.
Our tour matches were great and the hosting was really amazing. The girls have made relationships that will last for a lifetime, the team learned the culture of rugby in Scotland and it was well balanced and competitive.
Looking back there are so many highlights and I can't thank Richie enough. I highly recommend if you're thinking about going on tour to start with Sky High Sports
