Baseball in New Zealand is up and coming and attracting a lot of junior players who need coaches and role models. You'll also assist in a school in Auckland where the children will benefit greatly from your assistance in the bustling classrooms!
This project gives you a diverse experience in that your activities will take place in two locations and you'll coach other sports as well:
- You'll spend some of your afternoons and evenings coaching and/or training at a Baseball Club in Auckland and there may also be games at the weekends.
- During the day you will assist with sports sessions at a school in one of Auckland's suburbs. You'll assist with a variety of sports depending on the season with children from communities including Maori, the South Pacific islands and children from many other countries.
You'll also assist in the classroom and with school activities. Help is very much needed at this busy school so your time will be very appreciated by both students and teachers!
You'll probably work with a variety of ages at the club and during the weekend you will have an opportunity to compete yourself and test your abilities against the Kiwis! The club we work with has a very lively social scene and you will be welcomed with open arms.
What you'll gain from this placement- An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into the real New Zealand.
- You'll learn a lot from experts in your field about how they work in a cultural environment that's different to what you're used to.
- New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional development.
- An entry on your CV or Résumé that will put you head and shoulders above most others in the job market
- And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!

User Comments:
“Baseball is still internationally unrecognized outside the US compared to other sports like soccer. I thought this would be a great way to help be involved in and develop a sport I enjoy in another country. I chose New Zealand because it was the furthest from home. But seriously because I figure it would be good being down here for summer and grab some good weather and also get to see the other side of the world. I have found the placement so far great everyone so far has been really friendly. I have not had any problems adjusting to like down here and the city is so relaxed.”
