Take Your Whole Team Abroad!
Our Team Travel offerings are the antidote to your typical travel ball tournament. Our focus is building team culture, developing players and coaches on and off the field, and creating memories that will impact all members of the traveling party for decades to come. Traveling and experiencing a new country together fosters team development as no other tournament or road trip can. It’s not all about competitive games and winning your age group; your itinerary will expand well beyond game start times and shuttling between an ordinary hotel and a sprawling baseball complex.
You won’t just be representing your program, but also your country, creating a sense of shared pride and raising the standard of comportment and performance. Your players and coaches will learn new approaches to the game, overcome distinct challenges, and share unique experiences, resulting in better team chemistry and camaraderie. Upon returning home, you will have a tightly bonded unit that will compete on a higher level and share lifelong memories.
Team up with Extra Innings Travel to create a customized international tour for your baseball or softball team. Available for:
What Sets Us Apart?
Competitive and Mixed Games

We encourage you to invite parents and siblings, who will be included in all off-field activities!
Cultural Immersion
Participate in uniquely local baseball drills and team-building activities. Off the field, experience each country’s rich culture, iconic landmarks, and incredible cuisine.
Philanthropy
We use baseball as a vehicle for connection and goodwill. Each trip offers an opportunity to positively impact the communities we visit.
Choose Your Destination
Japan
Since baseball’s introduction to Japan in 1872, the sport has been revered as a means of instilling Samurai-inspired values like teamwork, sacrifice, harmony, and honor in the nation’s youth. Japan’s preference for “small ball” and focus on fundamentals offer your team a throwback-style experience. Through shared moments on and off the field, your players will witness these pillars of Japanese baseball and society and learn to incorporate them into their own lives.
Dominican Republic
Your team will not only learn highly effective and resourceful training methods in the D.R., but also humility and gratitude as it plays alongside and against ballplayers with low resources and high motivation. A trip to the D.R. will make a lifelong impact on a team, and the opportunities to bridge social and economic gaps through a shared love of the game and philanthropic efforts are endless.
