Spoiler alert: Everyone - Soccer Tour to England

When most people think about a soccer tour to England, they imagine talented youth players training with top coaches, playing competitive matches, and visiting iconic Premier League stadiums like Anfield, Old Trafford, and the Etihad. And while all of that is true — a soccer tour is so much more than just football. The benefits extend far beyond the pitch and reach every person involved: players, coaches, siblings, and parents.
So… who really benefits from a soccer tour to England?
Let’s break it down.
⚽ 1. The Players
From recreational youth players to elite MLS Next, every player gains something unique from a soccer tour abroad.
Train like a pro at top-class facilities like St George’s Park or Wolves’ training ground
Compete against UK academy and grassroots teams, gaining international experience
Watch live Premier League and EFL matches, seeing their idols play in real time
Walk through legendary stadiums on stadium tours of Anfield, Old Trafford, and more
Take part in Matchday Experiences — flag bearing, ball boy/girl duties, halftime penalties
Develop confidence, independence, and resilience while traveling abroad
Plus, just being immersed in a different culture — the accents, the food, the history — opens their eyes to a bigger world.
👥 2. The Coaches
Bringing a team on tour is not only a professional highlight — it's a powerful team-building opportunity.
Coaches get to see their players grow on and off the pitch
Stronger coach-player relationships develop through shared travel, training, and downtime
Sessions at elite training venues with UEFA-licensed coaches offer continuing professional development
*And let’s not forget — organizing coaches travel for free with Total Football Experience
Many coaches return home energized, inspired, and with a stronger team culture than ever before.
👨👩👧👦 3. The Parents & Families
This isn’t just a trip for the players. Parents and family members are a huge part of the experience — and they gain just as much.
See your child in their element, representing their team in a different country
Travel together as a family, making memories that go beyond the sidelines
Enjoy iconic sightseeing in cities like London, Manchester, Chester, and Liverpool
Experience quality time with siblings while exploring new cultures and destinations
Bond with other team families, forming friendships that often last long after the tour
And when parents see their children light up during a stadium walkout or score a goal against a local academy side — it’s often a bucket list moment for them too.
🤝 4. The Team as a Whole
One of the most underrated benefits of a soccer tour to England is the way it transforms a group of players into a true team.
Shared travel, meals, and adventures lead to deep player-to-player bonding
Matchdays and training sessions build trust, communication, and teamwork
The tour creates a shared memory — something the whole squad will talk about for years
It’s not just about playing together. It’s about growing together — on the field, on the bus, in the hotel, and everywhere in between.
