Keep coaches focused on the team—not flights, rooming lists, transfers, and travel deadlines.
Led by Alfie “Tito” Garcia, Ares Elite Journeys coordinates relationship-first travel logistics for sports organizations, coaches, team managers, athletes, and accompanying families.
Ares Elite Journeys is a remote travel agency for sports teams, working with clubs, schools and organizations anywhere in the U.S. and abroad.
Sports Team Travel for Competitions and Events
From regional tournaments and showcases to championships, training trips, and international competition, team travel has many moving parts. We help organize those parts into a clear plan while respecting the team’s budget, schedule, responsibilities, and larger mission.
Travel Support Built Around Your Team
- Hotel research and room-block coordination
- Flight and ground-transportation planning
- Arrival and departure alignment
- Rooming-list and traveler communication
- Travel options for families and supporters
- International documentation and deadline reminders
- Coordination around equipment and competition schedules
Tell us about your team, destination, dates, and estimated traveler count. An estimate is enough to begin the conversation.
A Clear Team-Travel Planning Process
- Discovery: We learn the event, travelers, dates, budget, priorities, equipment needs, and constraints.
- Options: We organize suitable choices and explain meaningful tradeoffs.
- Coordination: We connect accommodations, transportation, schedules, and confirmed services.
- Preparation: Travelers receive clear deadlines, responsibilities, and next steps.
- Support: If plans change, we help evaluate available options within supplier rules.
Why Ares Elite Journeys?
Team travel serves a purpose larger than the itinerary. Alfie understands the importance of protecting coaches’ time, supporting athletes, and making participation easier for families. Our value comes from preparation, communication, transparency, and coordinated logistics.
Airlines, hotels, venues, and other suppliers control their own availability, policies, and operations, so we never promise outcomes outside our control.
Experience with national-team travel
Ares Elite Journeys is the travel partner of a U.S. national handball team, coordinating its travel to international competition. That work includes negotiating group hotel rates, arranging team meals around training and match times, and handling the requests a standard travel booking doesn’t cover. We bring the same approach to clubs, schools and amateur teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can families arrange travel separately?
That depends on the team and suppliers. We clarify what must stay coordinated and where flexibility may be possible.
Can you support international competition?
Yes. International team travel requires added attention to documentation, flights, transfers, timing, and equipment.
How early should planning begin?
Large groups, peak dates, limited hotel inventory, and international events generally benefit from early planning.
