Coach sport to disadvantaged kids in South America during a gap year, student holiday or career break and see the passion that this continent has for sports. Play your own sport at clubs and soak up the sporting culture whilst visiting some amazing countries.
Share your passion for sport by coaching and playing sport with disadvantaged South American kids. Help organise matches and fun coaching sessions for keen players in schools and favelas (townships), giving them the chance to play and enjoy the sport they love so much.
Projects range from 2 to 12 weeks so are ideal for a summer project or gap year experience.
The South American Continent.
South America fuses tropical rainforests with snow-capped mountains and modern Latino cities with ancient civilisations. To say South America is diverse would be an understatement. And perhaps the biggest passion in South America is sport.
You need only look at the sporting giants of Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Ecuador to see this. Volunteer sports coaching in South America is a great way to give children the chance to play and be coached in the sports they love. You really can make a sporting difference by joining one of our volunteer sports projects during a volunteer holiday or a sports gap year in South America.
A sports coaching project in South America really is the perfect way to travel while volunteering with children who are eager to play sports and be coached in sport.
