Travel Expectations:

When booking your trip, please remember that you’ll be traveling outside the United States to a region with its own customs, traditions, and culture. Some of the sporting amenities we are used to in the U.S. may not be available in other countries.

We strive to provide the best the area has to offer! Some trips feature highly competitive tournament play, while others focus on spreading the love of volleyball and building global connections. Either way, you’ll serve as an ambassador for volleyball and ABSA!

We encourage you to research your destination to enhance your experience. Tools like Google StreetView are a fantastic way to explore the area in advance.

Important Note:

All travelers under the age of 18 MUST travel with a parent or guardian.
