About the program

Sports: Our sport projects include football (soccer) which is the most common game in our world, basketball and handball volunteers with such special skill will help in the personal development of young sports men and women in the society. As a volunteer coach Sports Project, you will be helping with all these aspects of development while working with the most enthusiastic people in some of the poorest communities in northern Ghana. We will help you enjoy and make your vacation a remembering one.  You could be learning more about your sports in the morning and organizing a game in the afternoon. Volunteer sports coaches are responsible for helping in the organization in all aspects of training; from setting up drills and fitness sessions, to coaching sports teams in competitive games.

Through well-established relationships with local teams, clubs, and carefully structured sports placements, we are able to assist volunteers regardless of coaching experience. Whatever your interests we can find the right Sports project overseas for you! Volunteer Sports Coaching Placement takes you on a sport coaching which can have a very positive impact on children. As well as the obvious physical and mental benefits that regular exercise provides, there are many inherent life-skills to be learnt, such as the importance of team-work, communication and discipline.

Participants will be working with children both boys and girls from the ages of 10 - 16 years of age in the cameroon school.

You will be staying in our volunteer home in Bolgatanga Ghana. And volunteers should bring equipments that could help them do the type of sports they want to teach.
