Sports Visitors are young non-elite athletes and coaches chosen by U.S. missions overseas to visit the United States for a fast-paced two week exchange program.
These sports-themed programs offer participants the opportunity to interact with Americans and experience American society, culture, and values firsthand.
The activities include sessions on nutrition, strength and conditioning, gender equity in sport, Title IX, sport and disability, and team building. Special emphasis is placed on the visitors’ development of personal action plans that they use upon their return home.

BAND HISTORY
United States Navy Musicians have a long and diverse
history in Europe. Since the early 1950's they have been telling the Navy story
and serving in this culturally rich region as goodwill ambassadors of the
United States. The current composition of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and
Africa Band traces back to two separate U.S. Navy Bands in the Naples region;
the former Commander-in-Chief, Allied Forces Southern Europe (CINCSOUTH) Band
and the Commander, U.S. SIXTH Fleet Band.
For over fifty years, both bands operated out of
Naples, Italy until a realignment of commands and leadership dictated a more
efficient structure, resulting in the merging of both bands into the single
organization serving today. Over the years, military musicians from Greece,
Turkey, Italy, Albania, the United Kingdom, the United States Army, Marines and
Air Force served alongside their United States Navy counterparts as members of
the CINCSOUTH or Naval Forces Europe Band.
Today, NATO allied partner musicians currently
assigned to U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa Band
include Italian military musicians from the Italian Air Force, Army,
Carabinieri, and Navy. The band provides support for official military and
community relations events locally and across an area of responsibility that
include the entirety of Europe and Africa, with a long and proud history of
representing the United States and her partners and allies while on
deployments, participating in military exercises, and through key international
engagements. The U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa Band currently resides at
Naval Support Activity Naples in Naples, Italy.
