FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield University Men's Basketball will visit Costa Rica this August in preparation for the 2023-24 season, as announced by Head Coach Jay Young. The Stags will play three games during the international trip from August 11-18 in addition to volunteer, sight-seeing and team building activities. The tour has been arranged by Basketball Travelers Inc.
 
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica this summer," said Head Coach Jay Young. "The three games, in addition to the 10 practices we'll have prior to the trip, will be important as we integrate our new roster additions. In addition to valuable experience on the court, we are also looking forward to the chance to bond as a team and give back to the community. We are grateful for the support of Basketball Travelers in making this trip possible."
 
The details of Fairfield's three games are currently to be determined as the Stag travel between the capital city of San José and Los Sueños, Costa Rica. The Stags will play against teams from Canada who will also be touring Costa Rica during that week. Other activities include a volunteer opportunity at a local orphanage, river rafting and zip-lining excursions and visits to La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Wildlife Refuge.
 
The last international trip for Fairfield Basketball was in August of 2017, when the Stags visited Italy for 10 days.
