People to People Sports Ambassador teams are national teams. Not only will they have an international experience, but the opportunity to meet athletes and coaches from across the U.S. Athletes will be given contact information for all athletes in their age group prior to travel and will meet in person at the training camp. Athletes should be prepared to bring any specialized equipment they may need. Equipment availability varies with sport and destination. After enrollment, follow up mailings will give athletes the details for their sport and tournament.
Medical staff is on site during the training camp and tournament.
In addition to the medical and accident insurance included in the program, People to People maintains a 24 hour emergency response team in our Program Office during the summer months so families can contact us in an emergency. Many coaches are recommended to us by Sports Ambassadors and their families, or by current coaches on the program. People to People also works with a selected team of Athletic Directors from across the country to identify potential coaching candidates. All coaches complete an application process similar to that of the athlete. They will go through an interview and be required to submit professional, coaching and personal recommendations.
