After more than 20 years working in the travel industry and a lifetime spent participating in sport, I founded Level Up Sports Tours to combine two things I am passionate about: creating memorable travel experiences and helping more women and girls enjoy the benefits of sport.
What started as a women’s netball tournament in Barcelona in 2023 has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined.
Since then, Level Up has evolved into a growing portfolio of tournaments, sports tours and corporate wellness experiences across Spain, Europe and globally. Along the way, we’ve welcomed teams from different countries, expanded into new sports and had the privilege of bringing together women from all walks of life through a shared love of sport.
As the company continues to grow, so does our vision. In addition to our women’s tournaments and wellness events, we are increasingly developing opportunities for girls, schools and academy teams to travel, compete and experience sport in new environments. Whether it’s a grassroots team enjoying their first overseas tournament or a young player stepping into a professional academy setting, we believe sport has the power to build confidence, resilience and ambition that extends far beyond the pitch.
At Level Up, we believe sport is about far more than winning. It creates friendships, broadens horizons and brings people together in a way few other things can. Whether you’re joining us for a tournament weekend, a school sports tour, or a corporate wellness event, our goal is simple: to create experiences that leave people feeling stronger, more connected and inspired long after the final whistle.
I look forward to welcoming you soon.
Helen Wilkins
Founder & CEO
Our mission is to create opportunities for women and girls to participate in sport, travel with confidence and build meaningful connections through shared experiences.
From international football tournaments and sports tours to corporate wellness events, we bring women and girls together through movement, challenge and adventure.
CORPORATE WELLNESS THROUGH SPORT
We help organisations create engaging wellness experiences that improve wellbeing, confidence, connection and team performance through sport and movement.
From company sports tournaments and self-defence workshops to mindfulness sessions and wellbeing programmes, our events are designed to bring people together in a meaningful way.
We are also proud to specialise in International Women’s Day and Women’s Month events, helping organisations celebrate, support and invest in women through memorable experiences that go beyond traditional workplace initiatives.
OUR SPORTING MISSION
Our mission is simple: to help more women and girls participate in sport, gain confidence and continue playing throughout every stage of life.
From girls discovering a new sport for the first time to women returning to the game years later, we want to create opportunities that inspire participation, connection and a lifelong love of sport.
Flag football, Football, Walking football and Netball
We organise female-only sports tours and tournaments designed to bring women together through competition, travel and shared experiences. From social players to club level, our events combine sport, friendship and unforgettable destinations across Europe and beyond.
Training, matches and unique development opportunities
Working alongside professional academies and elite facilities in Spain, we create bespoke tours for girls' teams looking to experience football in a new environment. From academy fixtures and training sessions to cultural experiences and player development workshops, our tours are designed to inspire the next generation.
Sport, wellbeing and meaningful team connection
We help organisations create engaging wellness experiences that improve confidence, wellbeing and team connection. Combining sport with activities such as self-defence, mindfulness and personal development workshops, our events offer a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate away days.
When I started Level Up in 2023, I simply wanted to create fun sporting experiences for women.
Today, our vision is much bigger.
We want Level Up to become the first place women, girls, schools, clubs and academies think of when looking for sports tours, tournaments and wellbeing experiences.
Most importantly, we want every participant to leave feeling more confident, more connected and proud of what they have achieved.
If, in the future, we can help create more opportunities for girls around the world to access sport, then that would be the ultimate success story.
