Dickinson College Women’s Basketball Costa Rica Trip 2010
August 18, 2010
The members of the 2009 and 2010 Dickinson College Women’s Basketball Team toured the beautiful country of Costa Rica. The team left from Reagan International Airport the morning of July 31st and returned at midnight on August 9th. The team traveled with American International Sports Teams (AIST). Our tour guide was Roberto Aguillar and our bus driver was Edward Calderon. Our local AIST manager in charge of our competitions was Fernando Nietzen. The team would like to sincerely thank AIST, Roberto, Edward, Fernando and his wife Evette and all the people of Costa Rica for a once in a lifetime experience and a spectacular tour.
This website is dedicated to describing the journey of the thirteen members of DCWB. The team explored rain forests, cloud forests, volcanoes, beaches, cities and villages. The team was able to play a game against the Junior National Team in Puntarenas. On the day of this game, the team provided a Coaches Clinic for the local youth boys and girls basketball coaches of the region. DCWB also played the Costa Rican National Team two times in San Jose and was able to compete against a team preparing for the World Games as a precursor for their attempt to make the 2012 Olympics in London.

Here is what people are saying about our tours!
“AIST provided me with a wonderful opportunity to play the sport I love against many of the world’s best players. It was a blast to be able to explore Prague with a group of girls who all had the same interest as myself. I would recommend this tour to others. This exsperience will last me a lifetime.” Whitney Richards – Temple University Lacrosse – Div I 3rd Team all American
“Our trip to Prague, Czech Republic with AIST this summer was an amazing experience. Not only did we get to see many beautiful sights and learn a great deal about a different culture, the players were able to meet and play with other athletes from all different schools and backgrounds. Our squad had a once in a lifetime experience by competing in the Prague Cup against national teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, the Czech Republic and even the USA National team. It was a tremendous trip and I would rdefinitely recommend this to college players and recent graduates alike.” Fran Amasia
