cater to the interests of student-athletes,
​

allow student-athletes to maintain training regimens while traveling,
​
-
fit within the small windows of availability that student-athletes have to travel, and
​
-
include cross-cultural sports activities.

Full Support
In our efforts to provide unique study abroad experiences for student-athletes, we strive to set students up for success before, during, and after their program.
The process starts during the program interviews with guiding students towards the right program that fits their career goals and interests. Then, through a series of pre-departure orientation sessions we prepare students for their upcoming adventure and internship projects.
While students are on their SAA program both our full-time and on-site staff are available 24/7 to support students on their transformative experience, from providing guidance on internship projects to chaperoning excursions to responding to emergency and non-emergency situations.
​After their program ends, we continue to support students' professional development through resume guides, letters of recommendation, and career guidance. ​In addition, alumni from all our brands -- Student-Athletes Abroad (SAA), Beyond Sports Tours (BST), and GLASS -- have access to discounts on future programs across our organization. SAA alumni receive exclusive alerts on job openings and fellowship opportunities at Beyond Sports. We are proud to have many former SAA, Beyond Sports, and GLASS participants as part of our full-time and season staff!
