Day trip to Verona

On to Fondo, with a stop in Limone sul Garda
The bus leaves Milan and stops for a few hours in Limone sul Garda, a small town right on Lake Garda, before continuing to Fondo for check-in. Worth a look while you're there: the lakeside path, the old lemon-growing museum, the town's old streets, or a short hike to the waterfall. Boat and bike rentals are available locally, at your own cost.

Games, and time to rest between them.
Day 7
Final day of the tournament, then back to Milan

These are the dates our program runs. You book your own flights into Milan Malpensa (MXP), and you are welcome to arrive earlier or stay later if you want to make more of the trip. That is entirely your arrangement, and Coast 2 Coast is not involved in booking your travel.
One thing to keep separate: your payment and refund deadlines are anchored to your tournament start date, not to whatever flights you book. Arriving early or staying on does not move them.
Why Travel With Coast 2 Coast
Building travel teams is what we do.
Coast 2 Coast assembles rosters of talented players across birth years and takes them to Elite and AAA showcases and tournaments throughout North America and Europe.
Our own International Cup in Kelowna, BC brings teams and families in from around the world.

What Families Say About Coast 2 Coast
These quotes are from families who have traveled with us for past Coast 2 Coast international events, including the C2C International Cup.
They are not from the Italy 2027 trip.
They show you the standard we hold ourselves to.
I can't thank Coast 2 Coast enough for all their hard work in creating this outstanding event. They gave athletes from all over the world the opportunity to compete with and against each other, all while creating memories and friendships. These kids just met on Monday evening at the opening ceremony. Tuesday morning, they were officially a team.
Everything from the opening ceremony to the competition and the class at which the event was run was truly remarkable. You delivered on one of the best events my son has ever had the privilege to play in.
What an incredible ride. Thank you for the opportunity and the work you all put in. You made every other tournament look weak. Great job. We hope we get to play with C2C again.
Your hard work and dedication is admirable. My mind has been blown by what an incredible experience you created for all these families.
