2010-2013 New England Colonials Tours

Celebrating 32 Great Years!


We are very proud of our Colonials' players, coaches, and families for their outstanding commitment to our international tours and guests during the spring, summer, and fall of 2010-2011. We are especially grateful to our 2010 Colonials' Rovers and Ambassadors players and their families for staying with us after the cancellation of the April 2010 tours due to the volcano activity in Iceland.

Our very special thanks to all our volunteer coaches throughout New England for their great assistance in helping to arrange our 2010-2011 Colonials' tours. The final week of June saw our 2011 International Colonials arrive from ten countries for a three-week basketball tour of New England. This 31st anniversary tour saw the International Colonials play and visit in four New England states while traveling nearly 1,500 miles in the process.

Our sincere thanks to our donors, coaches, and host families for the wonderful support and hospitality they provide to these young players from around the world. And to the host families in Ireland who so graciously welcomed our Colonials' Rovers team in April. The basketball was terrific and the hospitality was exceptional. We are especially grateful to Richard Finn and John Finn in Oranmore for their assistance in organizing our Ireland tour.
