Football Coaching Abroad

Take a sports gap year and play football abroad.

Football coaching abroad can be split into 2 types of programmes - sports training abroad or sports volunteer projects. Real Gap offers a number of opportunities for football coaching abroad. These are ideally suited to people looking to take a football gap year, those who want sports coaching abroad and those who want to do some football volunteer work.

Real Gap's football coaching volunteer projects are mainly in Africa, allowing you to teach football in Africa during a gap year, career break or sports holiday abroad. However, if you are looking to do some football coaching abroad elsewhere, Real Gap also have projects in Ecuador, India and Sri Lanka, that all allow you to do some football coaching abroad.

Alternatively, if you wish to receive football coaching abroad, then we can offer a football coaching Brazil programme and in 2007, a football coaching Ghana programme too.
