Question 1

What does my player need to prepare for while on tour?

Accepted Answer

Players need to be prepared to become independent of their parents.  They need to look after their bodies, eat properly and continously hydrate.  WBS tours include several climate and altitude changes.  Coaches and staff are there to supervise and remind players on consistent basis, but players will learn to start taking the intiative on their own if they really love the sport.  This will prepare them for the next level.

Question 2

What gear/equipment does my player need for the tour?

Accepted Answer

Players need to supply at least 2 pairs of plain white pants (1 piping line is ok), black socks, black belt and a black/red/white helmet.   Hats and uniform tops will be provided for the players.     There is also gear available on the online store that will be ready for pickup on day 1.   Please email staff or fill out the order info on the Shop tab of the website to secure your optional gear.     A more detailed packing list, specific to each tour, will be issued closer to the tour start dates.     If you would like to ship any gear or product prior to your player arrival please contact staff and arrangements can be made to have that available for your players arrival.
