About SAWUSA
SAWUSA creates international sports travel experiences (typically 8–11 days) for athletes who want more than “just another trip.”
This isn’t a club team, a camp, or a random travel program. It’s an invitation-only style experience built around:
- Competition (playing your sport internationally)
- Culture (seeing the world up close)
- Character & leadership (representing the USA the right way)
Most families say they don’t fully understand how meaningful it is until they experience it—so if you’re doing your research, that’s normal.
Next step: complete the free application to be considered.
How it works
Everything starts with an application. Because our tours are invitation-only, only about 15% of applicants are accepted. We’re looking for talented, dedicated, well-rounded young people who are ready to serve as Athlete Ambassadors of the USA.
- Submit the application - Our application walks you through exactly what you need to be considered including a video, letters of recommendation, and an interview.
- SAWUSA reviews the fit - Our team looks at tour availability, sport, age group, and overall fit.
- Families get the next steps - If there is a good match, SAWUSA follows up with tour details and available opportunities.
