Sports Coaching Volunteering in Ghana
Support athletic development among Ghanaian children and youth in this sports coaching program. This volunteer project aims to introduce new sports to local kids from a community outside Accra and help advance their game in the sport they already love. It also hopes to find the next generation of talents to compete in international teams. You will coach sessions at local schools, after-school clubs, and academies. As a volunteer coach, your responsibilities depend on your training and experience. You could organize events and sessions, and encourage mass participation or share your knowledge of a specific sport. You could also help different clubs in organizing matches between teams. You might be required to teach more than once in a day and help in matches during the evening and weekends when necessary. The project welcomes all sports coaching skills—football, basketball, tennis, rugby, swimming, and more. Participants with UEFA, FA Level One, and other qualifications are encouraged to join. Applications are accepted all year round and placements run from 2–12 weeks.
