When we have organised your club/coaching placement, we will send you Confirmation of your place on the programme.  The Confirmation will contain details on your overseas club, coaching placement and accommodation.  It will also have information on how to organise your flights, travel insurance and Australian/New Zealand Working Holiday Visa.

Flights, Visas and Travel Insurance

You will be responsible for organising these aspects of your trip.  We provide contact details of companies who can organise flights, travel insurance and appropriate visas in your Confirmation.

Pre-departure

Approximately 6 weeks prior to departure we organise a pre-departure briefing where we run through important aspects of your trip such as arrival arrangements, accommodation, living arrangements, medical matters, our staff in Australia and New Zealand and finding work.  You’ll also be given a handbook and Sport Lived hoodie.  Most of our pre-departure briefings are held in Nottingham.

First Few Days
