4. Euro lax OVERVIEW
Member Countries
There are 26 member countries within the European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) including Ireland,
Wales, Scotland, and current European Champions for both men’s AND women’s; England.
“Hot Spots”
Just like in the US...there are “hot spots” of lacrosse within Europe where the game is more concentrated
and developed. The UK (England, Wales, and Scotland) is the most condensed with England serving as the
“Long Island” of European lax. Other well established countries include The Netherlands, Germany, and
Belgium.
Summer Lacrosse
With new events starting up constantly...the summer lax scene in Europe is growing massively each
year. With exotic events like the Turkey Open, Lax and Music festivals that combine that festival vibe and
lacrosse, and well established MEGA events like the Berlin Open...there is ALWYAYS something going on.

Tour Roster Sizes
Rosters for Multi-Team Registration tours will be capped at 20 players per tour. This ensures that every
player gets maximum playing time along with maximizing the sight seeing and travel experience. 20 play-
ers is the recommended cap for Team/Program Exclusive tours as well, however, larger groups can be
arranged.
Travel Arrangements
All flights, ground transportation, ticketing, and reservations will be taken care of by Archevel Lacrosse
leading up to your team or player’s departure. Everything from meeting points to travel maps will be pro-
vided. A parent packet will also be provided for all parents of players which will include every detail of
our trip. From day to day itineraries to airline tickets and meeting times...parents and program leaders
will be informed and knowledgeable of every detail of our journey.

Tour Schedules
Starting Line to Finish Line
All tours will depart from your nearest international US airport. Most European tours will fly into London,
England and more than likely will depart from there coming back; depending on tour destinations.
Possible Destinations
We’ve identified a wide range of cities and countries throughout the UK and Europe that offer that perfect
combination of sight seeing interests and established lacrosse communities. We strongly recommend
choosing destinations within our identified list, however, if there are specific destinations that you are
interested in that we do not have listed...feel free to let us know and we will get started on making it
work! Please see the next slide for our full list of identified destinations.

Tour Lengths
logistics
Standard tour lengths range from 7-14 days including departure days on both sides of the pond;
depending on number of destinations. A good rule of thumb to use is roughly 2+ days per destination with
approx. 1 day of travel between each; plus 1 day of “travel” at the start and end of the trip for flights to and
from the USA. Longer tours can easily be arranged if desired up to 1 month for summer.
Isolated Destinations
Some of our destinations are more isolated in relationship to others due to surrounding areas grow-
ing at a slower pace for lacrosse. Because of this, we have identified a few locations that would be
best when scheduled as their own tour as opposed to trying to link them with multiple destinations
due to travel distances and time. Anything is possible with your schedule...this is merely a recom-
mendation from us...the guys that know the areas...very well...and have done this for a while. : ) Sight-
seeing is a HUGE plus in these destinations and day trips are easily added in these countries.

What Documents Do Players Need to Travel to the UK and Europe?
FAQs
Players will be able to travel for the entire length of their tour, to all locations, on a normal tourist
passport. If a tourist Visa is required when entering a country (policies change at times with some
countries at point of entry), we will handle the cost for all players on site with no requirement of
additional payment from players.
How Will Insurance Be Handled While Players Are Abroad?
It will be the player’s responsibility to obtain both travel and medical insurance for this trip (medical
insurance is mandatory for all traveling players). You will be required to fill out a full medical back-
ground form along with a release statement prior to leaving the U.S. In the case of serious injury or
health problems, all countries that we visit have a National Health Care system that the player can/
will be seen by even as a non-resident. All coaches and tour leaders hold current CPR and First Aid
certifications with many holding medical First Responder certifications.

Who Will Be Accompanying the Players and Tours?
FAQs
ArchLevel Staff
Our coaches and staff are among the top in their fields. Our staff and project directors come from a wide
range of business, military, teaching, and sport backgrounds. Leadership, Character, and Collective and
Personal Responsibility are our driving principles for all of our staff members. All staff are subject to both
general and criminal backgrounds checks in both the US and UK/EU.
Your Team or Program’s Coaches
If you wish for a coach, parent, or program leader from your team or program to accompany the player’s
on their tour...FANTASTIC! We have several ways of making this happen for you depending on the number of
individuals your program wishes to send. We cover all costs excluding their flights to and from the US for
your first program representative. That’s everything from meals to accommodation to travel once over
there (trains, buses, etc.). Additional program representatives will be required to cover their own costs
which we can easily budget and roll into your overall player’s fees if desired.

Is There a Payment Plan To Help Spread Out the Cost?
Absolutely! We offer a 3 tier payment process to make things as easy and as manageable as possible for
