Sports Abroad

"The best aspect of my placement was working with and coaching excellent footballers."
- Gordon Sutcliffe, Sports in Ghana.

Wherever you travel in the world everyone enjoys sport. Why? Well, not only does sport create happy and healthy children but it also brings people together and helps to build strong communities. Sport provides a platform for young talent from disadvantaged backgrounds and creates a path full of possibilities for their development.

Sports coaching has a real positive impact on children. There is the physical and mental benefit that regular exercise provides. There is the fun and the promise. There are also the life skills like communication, team work, confidence, inclusion, and discipline to be gained by players and volunteer coaches alike.

Whatever placement you decide is right for you, football in Ghana, cricket in India or volleyball in Bolivia we can help you make the best of your time. You could be learning more about your sport in the morning and organising a match in the afternoon, if you wish. Through well established relationships with local teams and clubs and carefully structured sport programmes we are able to assist volunteers regardless of coaching experience.

We can find the right sports project for you - just let us know what interests you!
