Our Story

 

The Red Ball Tours was founded in 2009 by St. Lucian born Sergio Fedee. His love and passion for the game drove him to become a professional cricket player from a young age, spending several years playing in various countries around the world. His love for the game further moved him to create his own touring company, to give others an authentic experience.

His passion for the game of cricket compelled him to share this authentic experience with others who share that similar passion for the game, and with Sergio’s years as a professional player this gave him an upper hand on what a proper cricket tour should encompass and how the tour should be ran.

He used that as an inspiration to repair the reputation for Cricket Tours to the Island, which he cares so deeply for. A few years later, netball was added because he realised there was a lack of opportunity for women to engage in sports tours to the Caribbean.
