About your application

Are there any restrictions in choosing my project?

There are no general restrictions on the choice of projects, apart from sporting qualifications. Any requirements such as gender or minimum age are project-specific.

What are the requirements for sports volunteering abroad?

Your sporting ability is our top priority. Openness, a hands-on mentality and motivation are important. Depending on the project, a coaching qualification or experience in sports management may be an advantage.

What happens if my application is not accepted?

There is no guarantee of placement, but refusals are rare. We offer alternatives if the project is full or the project specific requirements are not met.

When should I apply and is there an application deadline?

There is no fixed application deadline. However, we recommend applying at least 4 months before the start of the project due to visa applications, flight bookings or necessary vaccinations.

Why do I need an (extended) police clearance certificate?

An extended police clearance certificate (in English, not more than 3 months old) is required to ensure safety and trustworthiness when working with children and young people.
