England Netball and Rayburn Tours are delighted to announce their exciting collaboration on a once-in-a-lifetime experience set to take place in the vibrant city of Kissimmee, Florida.
Rayburn Tours, leading group travel and school specialists since 1965, have partnered with England Netball for an October 2025 eight-day tour, including training camps, match play, and free time to explore the Floridian paradise of Kissimmee.
This Florida Netball Festival 2025 represents a groundbreaking opportunity for both young players and coaches to train like the professionals, with the help of Vitality Roses and / or Netball Super League (NSL) coaches and players.
For netball players, this tour presents a chance for them to take their skills to new heights, whilst immersing themselves in a truly exceptional environment and connecting with professionals in the netball world. It promises to be an experience marked by growth, excitement, and personal development, offering an invaluable opportunity for players to improve many skills – from efficient footwork to mastering a shot, anything is possible on this tour.
This trip offers great benefits for coaches as well. It’s a chance to grow professionally, learn from experienced figures in the industry, and sharpen your coaching skills to the highest level.
Head of Partnerships at England Netball Amy Buckle said: “We’re incredibly excited to announce the Florida Netball Festival in partnership with Rayburn Tours and Experience Kissimmee that offers the incredible opportunity for school and club groups to train, develop and compete in the amazing setting of Kissimmee, Florida. This trip will not only be a brilliant way to experience the range of activities and entertainment on offer in Kissimmee, creating plenty of special memories among teammates, but crucially players will also be able to develop their netball skills and confidence along the way. We’re really looking forward to supporting Rayburn Tours with their delivery of this festival and can’t wait to see many netballers heading out to enjoy the experience next year.”
Kissimmee in Florida has been carefully chosen as the location for this international experience. Netball’s traditional reach and popularity is found amongst the Commonwealth countries but with the game growing around the world, taking this trip to an American city is crucial in promoting netball as a global sport. It also serves as a refreshing departure from familiar surroundings, which offers squads a new perspective on the sport.
Gemma Davis, Sales Manager at Rayburn Tours, commented, “We’re thrilled about our partnership with England Netball – as someone who has played netball since primary school and still loves being a part of the game, it’s like a dream come true! This collaboration means everything because we’re all dedicated to empowering young players and promoting the sport of netball.”
The partnership provides a great opportunity for aspiring netball players to interact with top-level professionals, gain some real insider knowledge, and sharpen their skills in an inspiring environment. England Netball and Rayburn Tours are excited to create the perfect tour for netball teams that lets them soak up every bit of the magic that Florida has to offer. The blend of training, leisure, and exploration promises an unforgettable experience for every participant.
