Football Coaching in Africa
If you have a love for sports and a little sporting ability, then you could play an important part in the personal development of young, Ghanaian and Kenyan men and women who are interested in sports. Our sports projects allow the volunteer opportunities to coach soccer (or football as its also called), basketball, net ball and volleyball. In addition to the obvious physical and mental benefits that regular exercise provides, there are many inherent life-skills to be learned, such as the importance of team-work, communication and discipline. Volunteers on sports projects are participating because Elghana wants to use sports to promote peace, unity and development and also wants to harness the potential in many young children to take to professional football as a career. Volunteers will help in developing passion for sports such as football, basketball, volleyball etc. among school and community kids. Volunteers will also assists in coaching training drills, coordinating skills, and organizing competitions among sports men and women. This project involve placement at a local school or with a local football club.
