Volunteer Sports Coaching Projects in Africa
Duration: from 4.00 Weeks to 12.00 Weeks
Countries: Ghana, South Africa
Share your passion for sport by coaching and playing sport with disadvantaged African children. Help organise matches and coaching sessions for keen players in schools and townships, giving them the chance to play and enjoy the sport they love so much.
Coach sports to disadavantaged kids in this amazing continent and help us improve health, education and build life skills through the power of sport.
Projects range from 4 to 12 weeks so are ideal for a summer project or gap year experience.
The African Continent.
From the baking desserts in the north to the cool beaches in the south, Africa is a continent of spectacular landscapes, awesome wildlife and rich culture. Africa is also a continent of sporting prowess and sporting talent. Sadly, however, there is a lack of sporting opportunities for many young athletes. Fortunately, you can address this imbalance by joining one of our volunteer sports projects in Africa during your sports gap year or a volunteer sports holiday.
A sports coaching project in Africa really is the perfect way to travel Africa while volunteering with African children who are eager to play sports and be coached in sport.

Testimonial:
“I will always remember what a mad, brilliant and fun loving country Ghana is. 3 months on the netball coaching placement has opened my eyes to so many things. I loved seeing the young netballers develop their skills and winning regular matches was a thrill. I hope to visit Ghana again one day and see how everyone is getting. Thank you so much”.
