Sports Coaching in India

  India

Rural Areas

Duration of Program: 5-8 weeks
Typical Duration of Program: 2-4 weeks

Description: Help organize sports activities and promote healthy lifestyles among children when you volunteer with our Sports Coaching Program in India.

Volunteers with this innovative program will work in rural elementary schools throughout India to help implement physical education programs and get students involved in new sports activities. Although sports in India are tremendously popular, they are often a low priority in schools and not adequately supported by the government. Consequently, many Indian children lack regular exercise to stimulate motor skills, maintain personal health and foster a sense of teamwork.

Our Sports Coaching Program encourages and supports athletic activities in Indian elementary schools. As a volunteer with this program, you will lead physical education activities in local primary schools and organize sports clubs for after-school activities. You will also work to improve athletic facilities in the region.

As an added bonus, volunteers will begin the program with a week-long adventure expedition in the Himalayas or in the spectacular desert landscapes of Rajasthan. You will enjoy the best of Indian scenery and nature while improving the lives of local children.

*Coach local children in various sports such as soccer, volleyball, football, etc.

Volunteer Adventures's Mission Statement: The mission of Volunteer Adventures is to create and promote volunteer opportunities that improve the lives of others and the environment in which we live. We seek to achieve this goal by connecting worthy local projects with volunteers around the world. Many local organizations are doing great work in their communities, but don't have the resources required to recruit international volunteers. Volunteer Adventures serves as the link between these organizations and the volunteers needed to make these projects a success. All volunteer programs depend on the skilled coordination of a variety of elements: enthusiastic volunteers, meaningful work, organized projects, and supportive staff. It is our goal at Volunteer Adventures to orchestrate this process for you. We use our global experience and resources to provide volunteer experiences that bring pride and satisfaction to everyone involved.
