Description: Coaching Sports is fun for everyone, but also extremely beneficial in building team spirit, communication and leadership skills.

Travellers Sports offers loads of opportunities to coach the sport of your choice. You can coach as a full time placement, or along side teaching another subject. We have a huge variety of sports you can coach in many different countries. Remember you choose your dates and length of program!

Each placement is different. You can coach local children in Brazil in informal fun after school in a dirt playground or you can embark on a more professional coaching placement in South Africa, with great facilities and community involvement. You may even be arranging interschool tournaments within the village!

The sizes of class vary, depending on school and country. Coaching hours can range from 8 to 20 hours per week, usually over 5 days.

Some coaching placements are full-time sports placements and some are part time where you may also want to combine the coaching with some English teaching in the additional hours. This way you're helping the children with much-needed language ability and then reinforcing what they've learnt in the informal setting of the sports field - the best of both worlds!

Coach Sports Abroad

Highlights: In Ghana we have our own Football Team, Travellers FC, in Division 3 of the Ghana League. On the project you will also work with other Division 1 and 2 teams, like Nania FC. And if you're a very good player yourself, you may even get to play alongside football stars in their League.

We provide you with lots of materials on how to coach various different sports, as well as Warm-up Exercises to use.

Sports is very popular with the kids and is a great way to teach them team skills, social skills ... and even improve their English!

Qualifications: NO Qualifications or experience are necessary to volunteer. Our projects are open to all aged 17 and older.
