Sports and activities

The sports or activities presented here do not represent the full range of possibilities offered by the projects.

The COACH ABROAD partner projects work with a variety of sports, depending on the location, target group and available infrastructure. This page introduces individual sports and shows how they can be used in social projects with limited resources. Volunteers with knowledge of any team or individual sport are welcome. What matters most is their willingness to share their expertise.
