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.

Day 1 – Fly to London
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 2 – Arrive London
Step outside your hotel, for a stroll through the streets of the heart of the English-speaking world. In this city of nearly seven million, you'll see everything from 12th-century fortifications to modern skyscrapers, formal parks to punk rockers. Your Tour Director will lead you to some of the most famous sites. Walk along the Thames River. Cross Trafalgar Square. See bustling Piccadilly Circus. Pass trendy shops and cafés in Bohemian Soho on your way to Covent Garden, a 13th-century fruit and vegetable garden transformed into a maze of narrow streets and pedestrian walkways burgeoning with street performers, open-air markets and boutiques.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 3 - London Sightseeing
Join a licensed local guide for an in-depth look at London, from the royal haunt of Buckingham Palace (the official London residence of Queen Elizabeth II) to the slightly more democratic Speakers’ Corner of Hyde Park, where anyone can pull up a soapbox and orate to his heart’s content. You’ll see the changing of the guard (season permitting), the clock tower of Big Ben with its 14-ton bell, and Westminster Abbey, where almost every English king and queen since William the Conqueror has been crowned. After a stop at the Houses of Parliament, continue on to the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral, the masterpiece of London architect Christopher Wren.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 4 – British Museum
The British Museum, founded in 1773, is famous for housing many of the best antiquities and cultural treasures gathered from countries around the globe. Your guide will lead you to the most famous items--the Rosetta stone (with the hieroglyphic alphabet sketched on it), the Portland Vase, the Elgin marbles, and one of the world's largest collections of art and artifacts. So many treasures so little time.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 5 – Tower of London
Get up close and personal with the Tower of London. Towers, rather. Twenty stone towers, as well as tunnels, winding staircases and narrow passageways comprise this huge fortress covering 18 acres on the banks of the Thames. A royal residence from the 11th - 16th centuries, the Tower also served as a jewel safe and a prison. Scary: See the headless skeletons of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (Henry VIII's former wives who were executed here). Shiny: The Crown Jewels are housed here, including the largest cut diamond in the world (530-carats). Safe: Beefeaters (guards) lead tours through the Tower.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 6 - London
Make the most of a free day - this could be the perfect opportunity to hang out in Hyde Park, catch up on the world of contemporary art at the Tate Modern or shop London's famous High Street...the city is yours to explore. Tonight, you could check out the youthful, bustling scene in Leicester Square, a central meeting spot for mirthful revelers and home to plenty of pubs, bookstores and restaurants.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 7 – Eurostar to Paris
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 8 – 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.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 9 - 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 10 – Game Day in Paris
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 11 – Louvre Museum
The world's largest art museum, the Louvre is housed in a medieval fortress-turned-castle so grand it's worth a tour itself. You walk through the 71-foot glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei and added in 1989, and step into another world-one with carved ceilings, deep-set windows, and so many architectural details, you could spend a week just admiring the rooms. But check out the art on the walls. The Mona Lisa is here, as well as the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory (the headless statue, circa 200 BC, discovered at Samothrace). The Louvre has seven different departments of paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures and antiquities. Don't miss the Egyptian collection, complete with creepy sarcophagi, or the collection of Greek ceramics, one of the largest in the world.

Day 12 – Loire Valley
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. You’ll also visit Château Chambord, the largest and most lavish of the Loire châteaux. It took 1800 workers over a decade to complete the palace for King Francois I, who once suggested that the river be diverted to make a moat. The palace has 440 rooms, and in many of them you can see Francois’ salamander emblem. Stop to see Chartres Cathedral. Built on an ancient worshipping ground to house a piece of the Virgin Mary’s veil (which is still on display), this 13th-century Gothic church is best known for its windows. With over 20,000 square feet of stained glass.
WWW.GLOBALFOOTBALL.COM
Day 13 – Eiffel Tower
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.
Awards Dinner
Enjoy unparalleled views from the Eiffel Tower this evening and reminisce on your adventure in Europe at this evening’s gala awards dinner.
