For as much traveling as Tommy Lloyd has done in his coaching (and brief playing) career, never before has he done so with a squad of players in tow.

That will change later this summer, as Arizona is set to play exhibition games in the Middle East. Lloyd confirmed the trip on Friday while meeting with reporters.

“I’ve never done a foreign tour, so I’m excited for that,” he said. “As you guys know, I love to travel and see different places.”

Details are still being worked out, but Lloyd believes his team will play at least three games split between Israel and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
