Who we are

The United World Games North American Chapter is the official program office for the United World Games - one of the largest youth sport events in the world. Our mission is to better assist all clubs, schools, teams and athletes from the US, Canada and Mexico in their preparations to compete in the Games.
Our Chapter offers consulting & administration services to sports clubs and tournaments.
We offer player development services, such as individual soccer tutoring and summer camps, etc.
We also assist in sending US athletes on international sports tours for US colleges and sports clubs in Europe (tournament participation & so-called "whistle stop tours") organized by our experienced European travel partners.

Our experienced, dedicated and passionate staff is always here for you!
