“We took a foreign tour with Anthony Travel in August of 2009. The trip was instrumental in building team chemistry and confidence going into our season. The international basketball games challenged our veteran players, while providing meaningful minutes for our newcomers. Our trip was highly organized-- the travel accommodations, Anthony Travel staff members and cultural sightseeing were all incredibly done.’’

Coaches Quotes

“We loved the trip – Leo was terrific! He had a great demeanor with the girls and was an excellent tour guide. Jim did a great job also – it was good to have them along to allow Stephanie (Director of Basketball Operations) and our managers to really enjoy things without worrying about anyone or anything. Thanks for setting it up so perfectly. A great time was had by all!”
