International Tours

Youth Tour

The Lexington Eagles Youth Tour is a 2 week experience designed to give high school soccer players the opportunity to compete internationally, deepen their faith, and broaden their cultural understanding of the world. Our goal for you is that you learn what it means to be a sports minister while working towards becoming a better player.

Over the course of 2 weeks, locally and internationally you will be trained how to integrate your faith into the game, play matches, coach soccer clinics for kids, receive quality training sessions, be a part of a community of believers, and take advantage of ministry opportunities connected to the biggest stage in the world: THE WORLD CUP.

Youth Tour features two 16-player rosters, one for girls and one for boys, made up of high school athletes from across the country. Each team is paired with a coach who currently serves as an assistant at a high-level Christian university. This unique structure allows players to receive elite-level training and coaching on the field, while also being intentionally discipled and mentored off the field.
Cost: $3,500 — This includes all expenses once you arrive at Pre-Tour: food, lodging, transportation, airfare, insurance, gear, and more.
We strongly encourage players to raise support for this amount through letters, phone calls, personal meetings, events, and other creative means. We believe fundraising is not only practical but also a powerful opportunity for the Lord to work in and through each player before the trip even begins.
That said, if you’d prefer to cover the cost through a one-time payment or a payment plan (via check or card), we’re happy to accommodate that as well.
