Sport is the means, not the goal
Our projects are aimed at children and young people who do not yet have access to organised sports sessions. We make sure there’s something to do every week, with someone who turns up. In this way, we provide them with a safe, fun place to play sport and develop, and we ensure that girls are just as involved.
From the first game at school to a place at a club
Three stages, the same in every country, and the programme our interns and volunteers work in.
Sport during school hours, on site, often together with the teacher and with our own permanent team present. From nursery school to secondary school.
On weekdays after school, on small pitches, in squares and around the neighbourhood. It’s free and there’s no need to sign up; here, children get to choose their own sport.
Anyone who wants to play more can join a club. If there isn’t one, we’ll start one ourselves, so that children can play matches for free.
This is how we work

Where your money goes
Your contribution covers your accommodation, on-site support, local transport and your meals. In addition, a portion goes towards the sports programmes in which the local children and young people take part every week.
Safety is not an area where we should cut costs
Wherever you go, you’ll be staying in accommodation that we know well and have inspected ourselves. A long stay away from home calls for a place where you can sleep soundly.
As low as possible
Many of our participants are students. We therefore keep the price as close as possible to the actual costs and are happy to compare ourselves with other providers.
The most important question is not what it costs, but what you get in return: an experience that will benefit you for the rest of your life, and a programme that keeps running after you have gone home.
