Azorcan is pleased to
offer individual coaches and managers the opportunity to
spearhead their own select team. The Team Canada Polar Bears and
the Team U.S.A. Patriots programs are designed to include all the
information, forms and even team uniforms to make your tour a reality. It
is a proven blueprint developed to minimize your work and to ensure
that you have a great tour. Join the many coaches and managers that have
made it possible for young athletes to have a sporting and cultural trip
of a lifetime. We can supply you with many references from past coaches
and managers that have worked with Azorcan. Many of them continue to take
tours with us today!
Our many years of experience
is your guarantee of success. Have
the security of a proven program while still having the independence
of selecting your players and running your team. Your team is run
independently from Azorcan. We just provide you with the opportunity and
are always available to help you every step of the way.
Coaches and managers interested in taking
a Team Canada Polar Bears or U.S.A.
Patriots team should contact Azorcan for available
tournaments, age groups, tour conditions and a complete information
package.
Call us at 780-906-7110
or fill out or application form

The
Team Canada Polar Bears and U.S.A. Patriots team programs were created
by Azorcan as a vehicle for coaches and managers to take select or club
sports teams abroad.
The advantages to the team programs include quality uniforms
which players keep as a souvenir at the conclusion of the tour, a selection
of high quality merchandise from our catalogues that can be purchased
and a recognized identity overseas. The program eliminates the cost
and effort associated with setting up logo artwork and apparel.
See our full selection on individual
and team merchandise.
Each team traveling through Azorcan is independent
so Azorcan has no control or involvement in player selection, team
policies, pre departure training or on tour management decisions.
Azorcan is a tour operator and as such provides the teams with all
aspects of the tour as outlined in their itinerary.
