Tour Staff

Each team, or group of players (15-20 players), will be staffed by at least 1 UKISC coach/representative (possible more depending the number of people traveling). UKISC will select the tour staff carefully. When players sign up for this tour, they can expect to receive a knowledgeable coach who will encourage growth in not only the game of soccer, but growth through the cultural experience away from the field. The position of the coach is demanding and multi faceted. Parent, teacher, counselor, disciplinarian, and organizer are just some of the duties required of the coach. In addition to what the players will learn in an enjoyable soccer environment, they may also learn to be better people as well.

In addition to the UKISC coach/representative, Premier International Tours will also provide a tour courier for the group(s) who will meet the group in England and will be with the group full time each day during the tour to provide any assistance when necessary, and help plan or amend the daily schedule as needed.

The UKISC tour staff are in charge of supervision. The staff is responsible for the program. The coach will make sure everyone is doing his or her assigned job.

• The possession or use of any alcoholic beverages and unprescribed drugs is forbidden.
• Players must get permission from the tour leader before going off on their own.
• All players must participate in the activities described in the program, including training, games, receptions, tournament finals, sightseeing and excursions.
• Each player is responsible for contributing to team spirit by exhibiting a positive attitude and loyalty toward teammates, coaches and tour leaders.
