Before you go
- Check eligibility. Many European events group players by birth year rather than U-age, so confirm the category with the organiser before you enter.
- Ask exactly what is included. Overseas packages usually bundle hotel, meals, transfers and entry, often priced per person rather than per team.
- Check passports and entry rules on GOV.UK foreign travel advice for Netherlands before booking, including passport validity for every player and adult.
- Take consent forms, emergency contacts and medical information for every under-18, and make sure your club's safeguarding policy covers the trip.
- Get travel insurance that covers sports injuries and cancellation. A UK GHIC covers state healthcare in the EU and some other countries, but it is not a substitute for insurance.
- Confirm dates, fees and conditions with the organiser. We summarise public information, but the organiser has the final word.
