Welcome

Educational Sports Tours

Welcome to Global Football. We provide football players of
all ages, their coaches, families and supporters, the
opportunity to participate in high-profile events around
the world. Through an extensive network of football
contacts and business partners, Global Football has
developed a broad spectrum of games, tournaments,
tours, camps and bowls, each targeted to a specific age
group and talent level.
Hope you can join us!


Patrick Steenberge
Coach,
My name is Patrick Steenberge and I played
Quarterback and lettered two seasons under coach Ara
Parseghian at Notre Dame. It was at school that I
learned the importance of team work and also of the
power, influence and importance of international travel.
Global Football is an international sports travel
organization providing the opportunity for young
amateur athletes from different countries to compete
against one another, while experiencing and learning
firsthand about each other's cultures, customs and
history.
At Global Football we believe in, and indeed see every
year, the incredible effect of educational sports travel.
At the beginning of each new football season hundreds
of our travelers (players, staff, coaches, family, fans
and friends included) return home better citizens, more
confident, more enthusiastic in the classroom and on
the playing field; more engaged in the world around
them; better prepared for life and more likely to make a
difference to each other as team mates.
Lead an educational sports tour with us and you’ll get
your students’ attention and keep it. And best of all
you’ll make a difference in their lives. I encourage you
to contact one of your fellow coaches who have traveled
with us to hear what their experiences were.
Happy trails!
Patrick Steenberge
President Global Sports Group.

meal and the sunrise as you descend into Paris next
morning.


Day 2 – Normandy Region

We drive through a region of natural beauty towards the
Normandy coast whose excellent light inspired a great many
artists such as Monet. Tonight we relax in the Normandy
countryside.
Overnight in Normandy Region (Caen)


Day 3 – D-Day Beaches

See the D-Day beaches where on June 6, 1944, thousands of
Allied troops landed in an effort to recapture the coast from
Germany. All along the beaches, deserted German bunkers
have been turned into memorials and the stark white crosses
and stars that mark the cemeteries are grim reminders of the
war. Caen’s Mémorial, a contemporary museum for peace,
tells a complete story of D-Day in interactive displays. Visit
Omaha Beach, the site of the landing of the American 1st
division and walk through the American cemetery
commemorating their sacrifice.


Day 4 – Loire Chateaux

France’s aristocrats began building defensive castles in the
Loire Valley in the 11th century. A few hundred years later,
their descendants created pleasure palaces among the lush
green forests and wandering waterways. Today, sumptuous
Renaissance castles stud the banks of the silvery Loire
River, the longest in France. But few castles can compete
with Château de Chenonceau. Built on a series of arches
over the Cher River, Chenonceau was designed by a woman
in the 16th century. It was once inhabited by Catherine de
Medicis, who commissioned the delicate spirals and of the
formal gardens, and had the bridge covered by a two-story
stone gallery.

Overnight in Loire Valley


Day 5 – Loire Valley

We stop to see Château de Chambord, the largest and most
lavish of the Loire châteaux (and that’s saying a lot). It took
1800 workers over a decade to complete the palace for King
François I, who once suggested that the river be diverted to
make a moat (a smaller river was later diverted). The palace
has 440 rooms, and in many of them you can see François’
salamander emblem—reported to have been an appropriately
slimy symbol for the king.

Overnight in Paris


Day 6 – Paris Sightseeing

What's that huge white arch at the end of the Champs-
Élysées? The Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon
in 1806 after his victory at Austerlitz. A licensed local guide
will give the goods on this, and other, Parisian landmarks.
Spot chic locals (and tons of tourists) strolling the Champs-
Élysées. Look up at the iron girders of the Eiffel Tower, built
for the 1889 World's Fair to commemorate the centenary of
the French Revolution. See Les Invalides (a refuge for war
wounded), the École Militaire (Napoleon's alma mater), and
the Conciergerie (the prison where Marie Antoinette was kept
during the French Revolution). Then head to the Île de la Cité
-- a small island in the Seine -- to see Notre Dame Cathedral.
Look up at the great gray spires, grotesque gargoyles, and
huge, round stained-glass windows (even more impressive
than in the Disney version of “The Hunchback of Notre
Dame”).


Day 6 – Palace of Versailles

The ultimate palace, Versailles was built by Louis VIX, and
housed the royal family and its groveling court from 1582,
when the Sun King moved in, to the French Revolution.
Everything in Versailles is worth a look, from the 250-foot-
long Hall of Mirrors, with themed salons-"war" and "peace"-
on either side, to Marie Antoinette's faux country hamlet.
When being a queen became too much to bear, she would
pretend to be a commoner, tending her sheep and wearing
peasant clothes.


Day 7 – Game Day in France

Get ready for today’s game against your French competition
in Amiens which is 100 miles north of Paris. We will eat our
pre-game meal together before heading to the field to meet
the French national football team.

Relax afterwards and make new friends at the post-game
social event.


Day 8 – Eiffel Tower & Cruise

See the city from the water on an hour-long cruise along the
River Seine. The Seine cuts right through Paris, dividing the
city in half. See the Eiffel tower rising up on the Left Bank,
the walls of the Louvre on the Right Bank. A guide will point
out other monuments and architectural marvels as you pass,
many of which are illuminated by clear white light at night.

Enjoy unparalleled views from the Eiffel Tower this afternoon
and reminisce on your adventure in Europe at this evening’s
farewell awards dinner.


Day 9 – Return Home

It’s time to say ‘au-revoir’ to Paris and head home after
breakfast at your hotel. We will transfer to the airport by
motor coach and board your flight which will arrive home
later today when you can recount your stories and
adventures from your time in France.
