Coach Keith Elliott told Times Sport: "We are taking a squad of 11 players to the tournament at a club called Six Foursion in the South of France. We travel on the Thursday before Easter and return on the following Tuesday.
"It will be the trip of a lifetime for the boys. We have been invited along with English teams, Scottish teams but we are the only Irish team going.
"We are guaranteed matches during the group stages and hopefully we will make it through to some of the later stages. as well. We are looking forward to the competition but the emphasis for all the squad will be on participation and having fun."
For the minute the boys have been busy fundraising and getting into shape for the big trip.
