Why Zag? Zag, Noun: Zag by most definitions is defined as a sudden change of direction. We at Zag Sports hope our international sports experiences and adventures provide our teams, youth, and their families a change of direction or a Zag in their life. Travel is a wonderful educational tool and our experiences are carefully designed to allow our athletes to stretch themselves, whether it is on the field of play, through adventure activities, through cultural interaction, or through volunteer experiences. Our sincere hope is to provide international experiences which will positively impact the lives of those participating. Why are so many great international, college, high school, and club teams turning to Zag to develop their international touring experience? Here s why we are different? We know college sports. Our organization has deep roots in college sports. Many of our staff here and abroad are current or former college coaches. We pride ourselves in being a part of the coaching community, which allows us to truly understand the needs of teams as they travel abroad. Changing lives and giving back. We are pioneers in a new breed of sports tour we have coined Philanthropic Sports Tours. We feel a responsibility to develop international sports experiences which also serve as vehicles to serve a greater good. Every Zag experience has a required element of international community service. It may be working with Habitat for Humanity for ½ day, giving hope to Argentine orphans, working with Aboriginal children in Australia, or working with villagers in South Africa. International service has been a part of our fabric since our inception. Not only do we work to give back on tour we also give a portion of proceeds to our not for profit partners at World Vision and others. Whatever the hoops playing country we visit there is opportunity opportunity to make a difference. Interactive cultural and adventure experiences. We strive to develop creative activities which work to expose the athletes to the culture from the inside out. Seeing history and culture is important, but experiencing it is what we do at Zag! Whether it be homestay with an Argentine family, a pizza making lesson with an Italian Pizza chef, surfing like an Aussie, or taking on the rapids of the Swiss Alps, we hope that our experiences challenge our athletes to grow in ways they have never thought possible. Passion. We do this because we have a passion for what we do. A passion to make a difference in some small way. A passion to develop the whole person off the court and the elite athlete and team on the court. 1
