THE ULTIMATE PARENT-DAUGHTER ROAD TRIP

One minute you’re packing the car for a tournament, the next you’re wondering where the years went. The early mornings, the road trips, the sidelines—they blur together—suddenly, it’s the final season, the last game, and you realize this chapter is over. But a new one, with a stronger bond can now begin.

This is a shared hockey adventure, where you'll create unforgettable moments with your daughter you’ll both treasure forever.

PARENT OR GUARDIAN IS REQUIRED TO TRAVEL

Think this trip is just for your daughter? Think again. With luxury hotel amenities, a full-service spa, and time built in for you to relax and explore, this experience is designed just as much for you as it is for your athlete.

Each athlete is required to travel with at least one parent or an appointed guardian. This guardian must be over the age of 21 and can be a family friend who has agreed to chaperone. While it is not mandatory for a parent to accompany the athlete, the guardian must be explicitly designated by the parent or legal guardian to assume responsibility for the athlete during the trip. Typically this is when a parent or family is supervising a friend of their daughter.

PARENT OR GUARDIAN

This guardian must be over the age of 21 and can be a family friend who has agreed to chaperone. While it is not mandatory for the parent to accompany the athlete, the guardian must be explicitly designated by the parent or legal guardian to assume responsibility for the athlete during the trip.

LIMITED CAPACITY: 40-45 ATHLETES ONLY

To provide an exceptionally intimate experience for athletes and families alike, we will limit participation to only 40-48 athletes.
Depending on room availability we hope to open this up to a fairly large family contingent. However, note that each athlete attending must have a family member or designated guardian joining them for the duration of the program. Again, ALL athletes must travel with a parent or guardian.

3 TRAVELING: MOM, DAD AND ATHLETE (SIBLINGS TOO)

Let's see if we can room the athlete with another member in a similar situation. That way mom and dad can room together - the athlete has a roommate and family saves paying for a single supplement. Win-Win!

ELIGIBILITY

ATHLETES
Open to any and all female field hockey athletes who graduate high school in 2027 through 2029. We recommend that interested athletes are serious about their intention to play hockey in college.

ADULTS | PRIMARY GUARDIAN
Any adult over 21 designated as the primary guardian for a registered athlete during the tour week. The adult designated as the primary guardian for a registered athlete during the tour week should consider appropriate rooming arrangements with their athlete, such as female with female, etc. Sport EuroTour reserves the right to approve, accept, or deny all rooming arrangements.

FAMILY
Spouses and partners are welcome to join. They would share a superior room with a single bed alongside the primary guardian, while we'll make every effort to assign the athlete a bed & room with another member athlete in a similar situation. Triple rooms or rooms with roll-aways beds are not available at this hotel.

Additional family members, such as siblings, aunts, uncles, and close friends, are also welcome. However, the availability of rooms and their bed configurations may limit the number of participants in any one party. Sport EuroTour reserves the right to approve, accept, or deny any additional family members based on available accommodations.

Our priority for room and bed allotment is given to athletes, their primary guardians, and the guardians’ spouses or partners.

ROOMING

Parent & Child:
Most of our bookings involve a parent (typically the mother) and daughter traveling together. They will always be placed in a room with two beds unless otherwise prearranged and specified.

We strive to finalize rooming arrangements at the time of registration. However, should adjustments be necessary, we will collaborate with you post-registration to ensure satisfaction. As an example; if both parents intend to travel with their daughter, the parents will be assigned a superior room together with one bed and the athlete will be assigned a double room, with another member athlete in a similar position. For parents traveling with their athlete, we will endeavor to pair your athlete with another in a similar situation for room sharing.

Couples Accommodation:
Parents & Partners will be placed in a Superior room featuring a full-size bed.
Superior Room Bed width size: 180cm / 70.86 inches / 5' 11''. wide. That's almost 11 inches wider than a queen - 5.25 inches less than a King.

Single Rooms:
Availability of single rooms is limited due to the boutique size and nature of the hotel, which ultimately restricts the number of single rooms available. There is a single room supplement.

Rooming Policy:
Per the hotel, there are no triples or three to a room options available.

Pricing Policy:
All prices are based on two to a room - double occupancy.

Again, the hotel is small, with limited capacity. Some of our rooms are Standard two-bedded and some Superior with only one, large 2 person bed.
Rooms will be assigned by first to book, room/bed availability.
However, within this hierarchy, 2 bedded room priority will be given to:

Guardian & Athlete sharing a room
Parents/couples traveling together as chaperones will be automatically assigned a Superior room with one double-bed.
-- If a parent or guardian ends-up in a room on their own, by themselves, because of the number of athletes they are chaperoning or family members they are traveling with, they will need to purchase the single supplement. As previously stated, these single rooms are in limited supply.

If two bedded rooms are unavailable as outlined above, we will discuss alternatives with you. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the bed configuration, we will offer a full refund at the time of booking or within the registration grace period. Please understand we are limited in our options and flexibility.

booking instructions

Registering:
To register, visit our WeTravel platform. When you click through to register or view tour details there, you will be asked to create an account. Initially, only your name and email are required to create a login.

Athlete Registration:
Please register your athlete before adding your guardian and/or other party members. This ensures smooth processing of your registration and finalizes the athletes confirmation.

Multiple Athletes:
You may register two athletes simultaneously, but payment will be made from a single account. For friends traveling together under one guardian, it’s advisable to register them separately when the friend is paying their own way.

Parent/Guardian Booking:
It is crucial to book the traveling chaperone or guardian immediately after registering the athlete, as this is essential for confirming the athlete's registration.

Booking Family Members:
We recommend booking all accompanying family members at the same time as the primary guardian registration. This is due to limited room availability. Please note that at minimum, all reservations must be secured with a deposit, and space cannot be held without one.

Registration links:
Athletes register using a separate link from parents and family members. These booking links can be found at the bottom of the specific tour page.

Save the CC Service Fee: Pay by "US Checking Account" (ACH)
At the end of the registration process you will be brought to payment and payment method. There you can select "US Checking Account". This form of payment will negate the 2.99% service fee you will be charged when using a credit card.

Waivers & Additional Info
In addition to signed waivers, a questionnaire specific to the tour will be sent to you at a later date, after registration. This is required and will help us provide for a great experience for one and all.

Cancellations

First and foremost, we recommend cancellation insurance. It can provide full refunds for all travel expenses if an issue arises prior to departure. Once we secure your position on tour, we then lock your spot with our hotel and Dutch coach sessions. This requires non-refundable payments we will need to pay in your absence. Therefore, we have established the following cancellation policy to be fair and transparent to all parties involved:

cancellation grace period

We want to ensure you're confident in your decision. If you register before March 15, 2026, you have a 3-day (72 hour) grace period during which you can rescind your registration for any reason and receive a full refund from Sport EuroTour.
Should you cancel after this 3-day period, cancellation fees will then apply.

cancellation policy

All cancellations must be received in writing via email to info@sporteurotour.com The date on which the email is received will be used to determine the applicable cancellation date and charges.

Cancellation Deadlines & Charges
If you cancel...
- prior to 120 days before departure: We will retain the deposit only.
- 119 to 60 days before departure: 30% of the total program cost will be charged.
- 59 to 45 days before departure: 50% of the total program cost will be charged.
- 44 to 31 days before departure: 75% of the total program cost will be charged.
- 30 days or less before departure: 100% of the total program cost will be charged.

A $250 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your place. 72 grace period applies.

Cancellation by EuroTour: In the rare event that we must cancel a tour due to circumstances beyond our control (Force Majeure, e.g., natural disasters, political instability), we will offer a full refund of all monies paid to us by the members, less your required deposit.

Our cancellation policy and fees apply regardless of the reason for cancellation. Itinerary changes or specific coaching changes on the tour are not eligible for refunds. The cancellation policy and associated fees apply to all participants, whether registered as a parent, athlete, coach, fan, family member, friend, team, or any other designation. Refunds will be processed strictly according to the refund policy, regardless of the reason for cancellation.

Modifications: If you need to change your booking (e.g., changing dates or participants), we will do our best to accommodate your needs. However, changes are subject to availability and may incur additional costs.

This cancellation policy is for each registered person joining the program. Please note that this cancellation policy is part of our terms and conditions. By booking a tour with us, you agree to these terms. We understand that plans can change, and we strive to be as flexible as possible. If you have any questions or need to discuss your situation, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Note: When issues occur, we've seen travel insurance help defray costs and cover travel expenses.

BIKES FOR EVERYONE - JUST LIKE THE DUTCH

Image

CAn You Ride?

In Amsterdam, biking isn’t just transportation—it’s a way of life. With flat terrain and bike paths everywhere, most Dutch people get around by bike… and so do we!

All athletes and family members will have their own bike for the week. Athletes will ride from the hotel to our training facility—just 1.5 miles each way along a safe, flat path through a park (no cars!).

Family members can use their bikes to visit the pitch, explore the city, and join us for a fun group ride to dinner at the famous Pancake House—about 2 miles away, again on flat bike paths.

If biking isn’t for you, that’s totally okay!
But it will make things a little harder and maybe more expensive. You'll have to walk the 1.5 miles to training or hop in an Uber. Biking isn’t mandatory, but it’s definitely the best way to experience the local culture—and it's part of the fun of our program.

Note too, we’ll also use our private bus when it makes sense:
—on Day 1 for sightseeing
—and Day 2 for a city orientation visit for our "fans" (while athletes are at their first day of training)
—last, Day 5 on our family exploration day to Utrecht
