We are always looking for sports teams to take into Korea and can arrange friendly and competitive matches with a variety of local organisations; many sports are played to a decent or high level in North Korea and a tour by a basketball team, a martial arts squad, a ping pong delegation, or even a chess team would be very worthwhile and welcome in the country, very newsworthy for the teams taking part as well. Contact us with any ideas or sports trips; none are too wacky to be considered!

The group from Coaches Team International was made up of 14 basketball coaches and players who were all travelling to Pyongyang for the first time to share their basketballing expertise with North Korean youth teams. The team did 2 training sessions -- the first at Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace and the second at Kang Bank Sok Middle School.

In fact, when tourists took a frisbee into the country they often found local people completely unaware of how to throw the disc, so this one was a real challenge – but at Koryo Tours, we love a challenge!
