Sports Development – Sri Lanka

My 2-week trip with Travelteer on their Sports Development Volunteering Programme in Sri Lanka was absolutely fab! Making an impact in local schools through sports was a truly rewarding experience.

Playing and teaching kids my favourite sport, football, was the highlight of the trip. The sheer joy and enthusiasm the kids had while learning and playing with us was infectious. Witnessing their progress and smiles made every moment on the field special.

The excitement the kids had when we arrived at their schools was heartwarming. They greeted us with open arms, and their curiosity to learn and engage in sports was a testament to the positive impact of the programme.

One of the most fun-filled experiences was the tag rugby game we had with the local team. The friendly competition and shared laughter created a unique bond between us and the local players. It was a wonderful opportunity to exchange skills, learn from one another, and build lasting connections.

If you're a sports enthusiast looking for a purposeful and fun-filled adventure, Travelteer's programme is an absolute must!

I did the sports development program in Sri Lanka a few months ago and all I have to say is it was amazing. The best bit of the trip was the local people, as I was doing the sports program I spent a lot of time with local children and quickly integrated into the Sri Lankan lifestyle and culture which was a surreal experience however the tour they do around the country is absolutely not to be forgotten either. I would also recommend students look into there university's Turing scheme as a lot of people had the trip funded, i did as well.
