1 Why Zag? Our aspiration with every tour is to inspire a change in direction among those traveling with us. Our international tours are carefully designed with a growth mindset to enable our athletes to stretch themselves. We combine the best training on the field with impactful cultural, educational, and volunteer experiences off the field. We don t just see local people from afar, we engage them, learn from them, and give back to them. We believe in using travel as a tool for making a difference in your team and the countries we visit. Sports Tours by Sports People. We are the only large team touring organization whose majority ownership, operating staff abroad, and other staff are high level hockey and sport people. We understand the needs of our U.S. teams on the field. More importantly, we have a passion for the game and the athletes we work to develop. Changing Lives & Giving Back. We are pioneers in service-based sports tours which we have coined our Travel. Play. Give Back. experience. We feel a responsibility to create international tours that are also vehicles to serving the greater good. Service has been part of our fabric since Zag s inception. We hope these experiences enlighten and inspire athletes to remain aware of global interdependence and continue to serve others as they progress through life. Interactive Cultural & Adventure Experiences. We strive to include creative activities which expose the athletes to countries and cultures from the inside out. Seeing history and culture is important but experiencing is our specialty. Whether it be pizza making with an Italian chef, surfing like an Aussie, taking on the rapids of the Swiss Alps or shark cage diving in Cape Town, we hope our experiences challenge our travelers to grow in ways they never thought possible Passion. We do this because we have a passion for what we do. A passion to make a difference in some small way. A passion to develop the whole person, on and off the field Denow Rd, Suite C #373 Pennington, NJ USA Phone: ext. 2 Fax: info@zagsports.com 1
