The trip is open to a limited number of ministry partners including coaches, players, non-players and chaperones. All of this takes place in an amazingly beautiful tropical and mountainous country filled with incredible natural splendor that we'll enjoy during our free time. Robin and Bob White have taken hundreds of high school athletes over the last 30 years on sports mission trips and have a solid network of Costa Rican friends that assist planning the schedule for games, clinics and ministry. Through HPS Costa Rica, they partner with Athletes in Action and the National Federation.
T.I.P. was created to be more than just a missions experience. T.I.P. provides young athletes the unique opportunity to combine sports with outreach, exposing team members to a once in a lifetime opportunity! Participants will: (T)rain in Costa Rica in the mornings, (I)mpact underprivileged children in soccer or volleyball clinics in the afternoons, and (P)lay and compete on an international platform with nightly competition against the best Costa Rican high school programs, as well as their Volleyball Junior National team.
