My gap year, sport gap year.

Volunteer Sports Coaching Abroad (Sports Gap Year)

My first gap year I wnt to go to coaching children who love the football and run like me. It's a oportunity to learn a new language of poor people and his culture. 

The travel  it cost me 1326€ and in the ticket of the agence of travel includ me the food, insurance, accomodation, specialist equipament and airport pickup. In developing countries many children are not given the same basic opportunities as the rest of the world. One great way of addressing this issue is by introducing sport within these communities.

Sport provides both mental and physical benefits. It also teaches important life-skills, such as discipline, team-work and communication. We aim to create a fun and enjoyable learning environment, allowing participants to form good social relationships and to facilitate a positive path for development. Regular sports lessons and matches can have a really positive impact upon those from impoverished areas. There is also the opportunity to teach sport in schools. Many of the schools in which we work are understaffed so the children do not have access to such activities. You will be very well received and the children will be eager to learn from you. You do not need to have previous experience to get involved in this project - the key is enthusiasm! We accept volunteers of all levels of experience and you will be supervised by a local sports coach.

Whichever sports placement you choose, Projects Abroad will assist you along the way to ensure both volunteers and students get the most out of each experience.  Sports placements we currently offer are the Football, Basketball, Rugby, Surfing,  Volleyball, Multi-sports and School Sports.
