Travel with a difference
Our friend James Burton works for Gap Sports Abroad, an organisation “who offer the opportunity to combine the universal language of sport with the chance to travel to unique and exciting locations. GSA aims to assist sports development in third-world communities by placing highly motivated and enthusiastic volunteers into coaching positions in sports academies and local clubs in poor and underdeveloped regions.”
“Football, football, football! — did that grab your attention? Well if it did then you may be interested in getting involved with a football coaching placement on your gapyear. Gap Sports Abroad (GSA) have opportunities for you to go to Ghana and work within some of West Africa’s most prestigious football academies.”
