Sports Coach at a Local Primary School


The experience

You will run Physical Education lessons, help prepare for track and field events, and of course assist with soccer and rugby practice and matches.
There is a lot of flexibility here and volunteers are encouraged to create fun activities for the kids.

Program Details

Volunteers are placed at a local primary school where you will focus on the sports side of things. Many of these kids live in the poorest parts of the city, so keeping them active in a positive and safe environment is vital. You will play an important role in this.


Activities & Shift

You will work at a primary school in the mornings, typically from 09:00 - 13:00, and have afternoons and 3-day weekends to relax or explore the city!


Rules

Volunteers need to be fairly fit and have a keen interest in sports, and working with children. Because of the circumstances that these children come from, a high level of patience is required.
