About us

The Sport Lived mission: To help young people explore the world through sport. By combining playing or coaching sport with a gap year, our programmes enable participants to become integrated into a local community through their sports club or academy becoming a second family.

Playing or coaching sport provides a framework for your time away; supplement this with travel, work experience and a whole new group of friends and that’s the Sport Lived experience in a nutshell.  The Sport Lived network ensures our participants and their families always feel secure and we offer a unique level of support. Our dedicated UK staff, pre-departure briefings and local overseas programme co-ordinators all ensure that programmes run smoothly.

We are passionate that our participants make the most of their time overseas.  We organise regular social events and excursions, which ensure a fantastic experience for all. Our staff and gap year programme co-ordinators also assist participants in finding work, dealing with any issues which may arise and co-ordinating travel plans – that’s the great thing about our commitment to a personal experience.

But don’t take our word for it, read the feedback from our past participants, staff and programme co-ordinators.
