Triton Men’s and Women’s Basketball Foreign Tour
Italy Bound
The UC San Diego Men’s and Women’s Basketball team is looking to expand their playing and cultural experiences by heading on a foreign tour in August of 2023. With the goal of growing individually, athletically and as a team, Triton Men’s and Women’s Basketball has their sights set on Italy. This nine-day trip will include visiting Rome, Florence, Lake Como and Venice. Not only will the team play four games against high-powered teams, they will be able to enjoy cultural experiences throughout their time, including visit the Vatican and taking a cooking class in Verona.
The Reason and Benefits to Give Today
A collegiate athletic foreign tour often sets the table for a successful season. Not only does the team receive additional days of practice for the season, but are also given an opportunity to travel internationally - an experience many of them might not otherwise have. Both the men’s team and women’s team will learn how to work together off the court and to bond as a unit. Additionally, the trip will acclimate new teammates while strengthening the connectivity of the returning group. It gives the scholar-athletes an opportunity to get to know their coaches off the court while being immersed in a new culture through community service projects and local activities. Please help send the Triton Men’s and Women’s Basketball scholar-athletes to Italy to enrich their lives with a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
