2009-2010 New England Colonials Tours

Celebrating 29 Great Years!


We are very proud of our Colonials' players, alumni, and families for their outstanding commitment to our international tours and guests during the spring, summer, and fall of 2009.

Our very special thanks to all our volunteer coaches throughout New England for their great assistance in helping to arrange our 2009 Colonials' tours. The final week of June saw our '09 International Colonials arrive from eleven nations for a three-week basketball tour of New England. This 29th anniversary tour saw the IntCols play and visit in five of the six New England states while traveling nearly 1,200 miles in the process.

Our sincere thanks to all our donors, host contacts, and all our host families for opening your gyms, your homes and your hearts to these young players from around the world. We are very grateful! And to the host families in Scotland who so graciously welcomed our Colonials Ambassadors team in April. The basketball was terrific and the hospitality was exceptional. We are very grateful.
