PICTURES A brief about Lyle Dhur of Sportvictoria. I was a coach and member of the Belmont Bulldogs (nee Braves) program for 23 years. Trip organizing started with events inside BC while I was still a student at Belmont in the late 80s... then with club ball doing trips to various locations in BC and up and down the West Coast of the US. Then about Y2K I started to organize the major team trips for Belmont - this was after I saw the "results" of using an East Coast company (paying a lot money and getting very little service for the money). I figured I could do a better job for less money - and I could, and I did. After I left Belmont, 2008 after winning the Island Championships, I opened up my skills to other teams as I knew EXACTLY what a coach wanted in a trip. More importantly, what they DID NOT WANT... and it has grown from there. I have worked extensively to create personal relationships with people and businesses in the destination locations and as a result I am able to get great pricing for my travelling teams. This includes great rates on airfare, hotel rates, tours and quality games that match your team's ability.

"I coached a number of high school sports in Victoria BC Canada. My basketball teams travelled a lot with long trips planned for almost every second year. My teams have travelled to Alberta in Canada and Arizona, Alaska, California, Florida, Hawai'i and Texas in the US. Our first big trip was to Hawai'i in 1979. Organization for the early trips was done by a Seattle Company or by myself.
As travel got more expensive, demanded more paperwork and far more time I turned to Lyle Dhur of Sportvictoria to oversee all arrangements. A brilliant move on my part as I will explain. I stopped coaching the Senior/Varisty boys' team in 2008 and that year (Dec 2007) we travelled to Hawai'i. In all, Lyle organized that trip as well as four previous trips to Hawai'i.
Dealing with the team trips Lyle has the contacts for games or tournaments, arranges flights, ground transportation including to and from the airport, to and from games, practices or non-sport activities, accommodations, and rentals if I required. My philosophy, and the parents really supported this, was that their child may never get to travel to this place again so we always included historical, cultural, recreational, etc. activities. Lyle organized everything above as well as passports, medical, emergency contacts, itineraries, signed consent and rules forms, maps, places to visit, restaurant information, luggage tags and I am sure I am missing more.
I found Lyle's services to be above and beyond what you would expect. He does a tremendous job and I would claim he saves money, definitely saves time and provides a travelling group with a feel safe atmosphere because of his preparation and commitment to making sure the trip is a positive experience.
Lyle also organized our 3-team (varsity boys', varsity girls' and junior varsity girls') trip to San Diego as well as a Nike Coaches' Clinic trip to Portland and countless trips to the Nike clinics in Las Vegas.
Without question a great move on my part to have Lyle take over my trip organization. If anyone is considering a trip I strongly recommend Lyle for your trip needs.
Thank you Lyle and Sportvictoria."
