Cuba Study Travel for US Sports Schools


Cuba Study Travel exposes US Students to Sports Training in Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Boxing and Volleyball in Cuba

Sports Training in Cuba | Spring Break 2024 Spanish Immersion in Cuba Reviews Cuba Educational Tours Free Cuba Travel for Educators Old Havana Cuba Study Trips Cuba Beach for Spring Break 2024 USA Cuba Travel for US Schools USA Cuba Travel for US Organizations
CUBA STUDY TRAVEL works in tandem with INDER for the organization of Cuba sports tours for North American Schools. INDER is the body responsible for the organization of Cuba sports tours. Its headquarters at Sports City is situated on Havana's outskirts.

It is a large complex, not unlike a national sports center in England or a sports facility on a US university campus. It is dominated by a 12,000-seat indoor stadium; murals featuring Ché Guevara are everywhere around the building and on the walls of apartment blocks nearby. At Sports City Cuba’s best athletes are given advanced sports coaching and all attention necessary for them to represent Cuba at international competitions.

Cuba Study Travel and INDER determine the best Cuban sports school to place the students traveling to Cuba. Placement depends on students’ age and level. US sports schools traveling to Cuba should provide Cuba Study Travel with their sports Cuba travel goals.

Whether you are taking your students to Cuba for training, friendly competition or just a cultural exchange sports program it helps Cuba Study Travel and INDER know in advance what you expect from Cuba sports trips. Currently we offer such programs for Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Field Hockey, Boxing and Volleyball.

Currently there are about 30 Schools for Sports Initiation (EIDES), admission to an EIDE usually comes at age 12. After several years at an EIDE, very promising athletes graduate to the Escuelas Superior de Perfeccionamiento Atlético (ESPA), or High Schools of Athletic Perfection- there are 13 of these schools.

Typically, a student-athlete remains at school until age 19, when top athletes transfer to the national training center in Havana known as Sports City (Ciudad Deportiva). Athletes attending the national training center have a nominal occupation but are essentially full-time athletes. Other athletes follow up EIDE and ESPA with study at the University of Havana, where athletic training is accommodated by an extension of the number of years allowed for degree completion.

Cuba Study Travel exposes students from USA Sports Schools to Sports Training in Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Field Hockey, Boxing and Volleyball in Cuba.

Do not wait any longer. Now is the time to start planning the next Cuba sports travel for your students. Your students will consider traveling to Cuba an experience of a lifetime. They will come home optimistic and inspired by fresh perspectives on what is possible not only personally but also socially. Request a custom-made no-obligation Cuba Study Travel itinerary for your students, and check some of the resources we put at your service.

Notice to US Sports Academies, Universities, Colleges and Schools with Sports Programs and Departments from USA:



In January 2016, the US Government announced further enhancements to the 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba that previously required a specific license (this is, lengthy applications to OFAC). Now travel to the Caribbean island is allowed under a general license (this is, self-completed paperwork with no application to OFAC needed).

After President Biden’s policy change on USA Cuba travel on June 9, 2022, the General License for Educational Activities remains in place. Accredited U.S. graduate or under graduate degree-granting institutions; U.S. Academic Institutions; and U.S. Schools can organize and sponsor an educational trip to Cuba for their students, faculty and staff under the General License for Educational Activities, provided that the trip meets OFAC guidelines; and that an employee or other representative of the organization escorts the trip to make sure such guidelines are followed by all participants.

US Sports Academies, Universities, Colleges and Schools with Sports Programs and Departments from USA can organize and sponsor a trip to Cuba for educational activities. The purpose of the Cuba travel should be for:

_ the participation in a structured educational program offered for credit as part of a course of the sponsoring institution;

_ educational exchanges sponsored by Cuban or U.S. secondary schools involving secondary school students’ participation in a formal course of study or in a structured educational program offered by a secondary school or other academic institution, and led by a teacher or other secondary school official are authorized. This authorization allows for participation of a reasonable number of adult chaperones to accompany the secondary school students to Cuba.

_ attendance at non-commercial academic seminars, conferences and workshops related to Cuba sponsored or co-sponsored by U.S. academic institution.

_ non- commercial academic research related to Cuba for the purpose of obtaining a graduate or undergraduate degree;

_ the participation in a formal course of study at a Cuban academic institution provided that credits will be accepted toward the student’s graduate or undergraduate degree;

_ participation in a 10-week structured educational program in Cuba as part of a course offered at the U.S. institution;

_ participation in a formal 10-week course of study at a Cuban academic institution, provided the formal course of study in Cuba will be accepted for credit toward the student’s undergraduate or graduate degree at the U.S. institution;

We take care of all details both in North America and in Cuba, including VISA and flight arrangements to Cuba's main destinations via USA ports (Miami, Tampa, New York, Los Angeles, or other) or through third countries like Canada and Mexico. Authorized US organizations can travel through a third country subject to the same restrictions and requirements as those flying directly from USA.

At Authentic Cuba Travel®, we have been organizing such educational and cultural travel experiences from the United States of America for years with great success.

Certain conditions are to be met to comply with OFAC General License requirements for each category of USA Cuba travel though.

The mission of your organization and the objective of your trip to Cuba determine under what general license you can travel to Cuba legally. In general, most trips should consist of a full-time schedule of activities intended to promote the exchange with the ordinary citizens of Cuba. This full-time schedule must also include educational activities that result in meaningful interaction in between U.S and Cuban nationals. Free time in excess or regular tourists' activities are not permitted.
