Your next adventure

Children’s Sports Coach

Girl empowerment project Ghana

Football-mad African children reach the very heart of the local community you will be living in. Share your passion for sport by coaching enthusiastic, often very talented 8-18 year old Ghanaian school children.

Our rural village sports programme seeks to add fun and excitement to the lives of those living in poverty as well as the possibility of finding the continent’s next great sports star! You’ll coach football, volleyball, rounders and other sports.

Your presence will give children the opportunity to get involved with sports by organising tournaments and giving coaching advice. You will attract a great deal of attention and after a few days, most volunteers have a small gathering of kids following them around wanting to hold their hand.

If you love playing sports and are interested in sports development, a coaching opportunity is the perfect project for you! You have never truly watched a football match until you have watched one in Ghana. Football is the number one sport in Ghana and borders on religion for the majority of its population.

Break the ice and make contact, we love chatting with volunteers to see if they have what it takes to make a difference, or they are willing to learn.
