North East Tour 2012
Monday 29th October 2012 – Friday 02nd November 2012
“Success is no accident; it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all love of what you are doing or learning to do”
The North East Tour The North East Tour is well known as one of our most successful and beneficial
tours for players provided by Elite Development Centres. On each tour the
advanced development centres from around the United Kingdom come
together for the opportunity to play teams from further afield coming up
against different styles of football as well as the very highest standard of
players from Premiership Academies through to the Football League and
Conference setups. The tours not only offer experiences that are not available
to players at their development centres but help investigate life skills in
particular greater independence and responsibility.
This year the North East Tour will be priced at £399 per person and is
inclusive of travel, accommodation, food, coaching and insurances.
It’s all about the football The North East of England will provide our Elite Squads the opportunity to play
against teams of the highest level. Games are planned against Newcastle
United FC, Sunderland FC, both at their academies, with proposed games
against Carlisle and Hull City awaiting confirmation.
As well as the matches where the boys get to test themselves against top
young talent, we are looking to inspire the boys to maximize their potential so
we will be looking to organize a tour of Newcastle United’s “Sports Direct
Arena” home ground as well as, if the draw favour’s us, take them to a 4th
Round Capital One League Cup match that week, the latter being dependent on
teams progressing and tickets being available.
These unique experiences coupled with high quality coaching and the
opportunity to learn from their peers makes this tour an experience no player
will want to miss.

Other Information
We must state that tours run by Elite are not holidays and although we shall
have time to enjoy our stay and surroundings players are expected to act as
young professionals. All players are briefed each day and upon arrival firstly on
health and safety matters, rules and daily on performances, plans for the day,
times of meet, lights out, breakfast and dinner times etc.
Staff: Player ratios are adhered to as in our terms and conditions and regular
head counting takes place on entering and leaving any venue or meeting. One
of the aims of the tours is to encourage responsibility, independence and
investigative skills of players. On some occasions players are able to have free
time with remote supervision in a certain venue or area.
On all tours we now run what is known as a bank. The bank is for all players to
place their week’s spending money into a specific member of staff to look after.
This avoids players losing money, overspending or running out of money. The
money is then budgeted for players so that they are able to have spending
money each day. The bank is available to players in the mornings and evenings
A media team may attend some tours and parents watching games may also
wish to take photos or video footage. If your circumstances have changed from
originally signing up and you do not wish for your child to be involved in the
taking of photos etc please contact Head Office.
Many players may wish to bring phones, cameras or games consoles. We do
not accept any responsibility for loss or damage to such items.
After positive feedback from parents Elite have decided to produce a “touring”
kit which will be available to purchase from www.vandanel.co.uk , this will be
used on all Elite tours from now on.
“I am a member of a team and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team not the individual is the ultimate champion”
