The ultimate end of season netball tour
19-22 June 2025
The Ultimate Tour returns for the eighth time to the 5* sporting paradise of La Manga Club. The event will take place between 19-22 June 2025 with netball (ladies), football 6s (mens) and rugby 7s (both) competing alongside each other at the ultimate end of season tournament for your club or corporate team.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
SUPERLEAGUE STARS
Every year our netball teams have the opportunity to take to the court with stars from the Netball Superleague and in 2023, we were delighted to welcome 5 players from Surrey Storm and one representing Mavericks.
As always, Friday started with the showpiece netball match which gave teams the opportunity to play a 5 minute game against our team of stars. With a member of staff lining up as goal keeper and Mikki Austin as goal attack, it really breaks the ice for the weekend and is great fun for all involved.
On Saturday, each team that qualifies for the cup has one Superleague star randomly allocated to their team for the day to play or coach. Generally, it’s the teams allocated a circle player that win (Tamsin Greenway in 2019 is the only mid-court winner) and 2023 was no different with Linklaters and Frankie Wells taking home the title!
THE TOURNAMENT
THE RESORT AND SPORTS FACILITIES
The Ultimate Tour has been held annually (with a 3 year break for COVID-related travel disruption) at the 5 star sporting-paradise of La Manga Club in Murcia, southern Spain since 2014. Built in 1972 as a single hotel and leisure complex, the club has rapidly expanded to over 2,500 private residences beautifully blended within the three championship golf courses, 28 court padel and real tennis centre and over 30 different bars and restaurants.
All events and accommodation are located at La Manga Club with our sports played 25 minutes north at sports city San Javier. The site boasts a 4G football pitch, grass rugby pitch, 3 outdoor and 3 indoor netball courts, a newly refurbished gym plus 2 swimming pools (one outdoor).
The majority of UK and European airports fly to Murcia (30 minutes to La Manga club) or Alicante (70 minutes) so you could be sat around the pool in the sunshine with your teammates just 3 hours later!
