The last half of the 20th century witnessed so great debates in social sciences. Many scholars examined the transformation that occurred in industrialized society and tried to redefined it: some of them called the new form of this society as post-fordist society while some others called as postmodern, post industrialized, post bureaucratic and so on. All these attempts have tried to tell same thing: the society is no more the same industrial society. Every sample has affected from that transformation and of course ‘works’ itself.This study aims to examine the relation between work and leisure and discuss the place of voluntary work in that frame using a case from The Kingdom Boys Football Academy fromRepublic of Ireland.The methodology of the paper depends on two types. The first part of the paper will examine the literature of voluntary work. Thus, the methods of this part will be literature review. The main part of the paper, second part, will ground on ‘the case’. The methods of the research will be participant observation.
