Sports Coaching Internship

You'll support PE lessons and lead sports clubs, delivering engaging, energetic sessions for students across the school. The best sports interns bring a discipline of their own — surfing, rugby, swimming, cycling — and share it with a community that's ready to be inspired. You'll also contribute to Ocean Days and wider school activities, making sport a thread that runs through the whole school experience.

Accommodation is provided in one of Lüderitz's historic buildings — a boarding house or guesthouse — all within walking distance of school. Expect a close community atmosphere, and stunning views of the South Atlantic coast.

Namibia is one of the safest countries in Africa, and Lüderitz is one of its safest towns — a small, close-knit community with very low crime. There is no malaria or tropical disease risk, and the South Atlantic keeps the climate mild year-round: never too hot, never too cold.

Luderitz is a nature-lover's dream — flamingos, springbok, oryx, and the elusive brown hyena on your doorstep. Visit the ghost town of Kolmanskop, take a boat trip to Shearwater Bay's kelp forest, or brave the (cold) South Atlantic. Enjoy camping, hiking, braais with colleagues, or a night out at the local bars. During school breaks, many interns road trip through the Namib. There is nowhere else like it on Earth.

Open to adults of any age and all nationalities. Well suited to sports science or PE graduates, qualified or experienced coaches, teachers on a career break, and retired athletes looking to give back. No formal coaching licence is required — what matters is energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love of sport and working with young people.
