Everyday with ball sports

Do you find ball sports more motivating than running on asphalt?

Here you have the opportunity to get into the best shape of your life in the best possible way: through ball sports.

Rio de Janeiro – Unrivaled

A city you must visit once in your life

Brazil

Do you dream of experiencing Brazil, the home of samba football?

Join us at the world’s most iconic beach, Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, to play beach volleyball and football with Brazilians.

In Rio, we will spend time on the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon with beach volleyball, futebol, and futevôlei. We will visit a favela where you’ll get to know local youth. The ball brings us together across language and culture. We’ll play football, barbecue, eat, and get acquainted. We’ll visit the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and watch a football match at the mighty Maracanã Stadium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is folk high school expensive?
Some believe that folk high school is expensive, but it is significantly cheaper to live in a dormitory at a folk high school than to rent a student room.

With us, you get your own room, access to a washing machine and dryer, a kitchenette with a refrigerator and stove, common rooms, a fitness room, a gym, and other activity rooms, and prepared meals 4 times a day.
What does the price for Ball Sports cover?
The price includes an international trip to Brazil, 10-12 days in the spring, all arrangements in Norway, tournaments, line equipment, your own football jersey with your name, and all activities on the line. Minimum half board is included on our trips. However, we reserve the right to change prices due to circumstances beyond the school’s control, such as significant changes in airfares, exchange rates, fuel costs, government regulations, security situations, war, unrest, or cancellations in transport services. In such cases, it may be necessary to adjust the price to carry out the trip. The school will then strive to limit the cost increase as much as possible. If the price increase exceeds 10% of the line price, the student will have the right to withdraw from the trip without further costs.
