If you are thinking about taking a football gap year and are also interested in doing some sports volunteer work, why not be a football volunteer and join one of Real Sport Experience's football volunteer projects.
We offer a number of different sports travel programmes abroad, that are perfect for a sports gap year, career break or sports holiday. Many of these sports programmes allow you to play sport abroad, but namely, football. Football volunteer programmes are by far the most popular and with football being the only true world game, it is understandable why.
We have football volunteer projects to teach football in Africa, Latin America and opportunities to teach football abroad on a number of other general sports volunteer projects. Regardless of where you choose to volunteer in football, you will be warmly received and be able to make a massive contribution to the lives of many children.
