PHCC International Tours

From elite training camps in Europe to cultural adventures in South Africa, India and the Netherlands, our tours are designed to challenge, inspire, and create memories that last long after the final ball is bowled.

South Africa – U12 Performance Tour

Our South Africa tour is the crown jewel of PHCC’s international programme — and widely recognised as one of the best junior cricket tours offered by any club in the UK.

For over 15 years, PHCC has led the way in taking U12 players to Cape Town.

Each February half term, our strongest U12 squad embarks on a tour that blends high-standard cricketpremier coaching, and unforgettable experiences. Players train at the Gary Kirsten Academy, compete against top regional schools, and gain an authentic understanding of high-performance cricket in South Africa.

What sets our tour apart is also the depth of our off-field programme, including:

  • Township visit’s and charitable community engagement

  • Iconic experiences such as Table Mountain, coastline and wildlife.

  • Curated, cultural tours and family activities

  • Seamless logistics honed over more than a decade of experience

Spain – Desert Springs Pre-Season Academy Tour

Each Easter, PHCC takes two squads to the world-class Desert Springs Resort in Spain for a high-intensity pre-season camp. Our U10–11 Development/Elite squads and our U13–15 Academy squad train alongside partner clubs in a purpose-built environment.

The resort’s facilities include:

  • Immaculate grass centre wickets

  • High-quality grass nets

For many younger players, it is their first ever international cricket experience. For our academy cricketers, it provides a perfect warm-weather, high-volume pre-season block to sharpen skills before the summer.

Netherlands – U15 Girls International Tour

Led by Kerry Tomlinson, our Head of Girls’ Cricket and a former Netherlands international, this tour offers PHCC’s U15 girls a unique opportunity to experience high-quality cricket in Europe.

Alongside the cricket, the squad enjoys a fun, culturally rich week exploring Dutch cities, and attractions — all delivered in a safe, encouraging environment.

India – U15 Multi-City Cultural & Cricket Tour

Held during the October half’term, the tour takes an U15 squad for a multi-city journey through one of the world’s most passionate cricketing nations. Itineraries include Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Goa.

Players experience a blend of:

  • Competitive fixtures against strong school, academy and state-age opposition

PHCC Domestic Tours

Our domestic tours are a brilliant stepping stone for younger cricketers and a highlight of the summer for players and parents alike.

UK Tours

Alongside our international programme, PHCC runs a series of popular domestic UK tours each year.

Every age group heads away on the first weekend of the summer holidays, to destinations such as Kent, Hampshire, Cambridge, Yorkshire, the Cotswolds, and Ireland.

These weekends provide the perfect blend of competitive cricket, team bonding and family fun. They offer players a chance to celebrate the end of the UK season together, strengthen friendships across the squads, and create memories that become a special part of their PHCC journey.
