Product Details

This programme is perfect for any Football lovers with a desire to go to Africa and help children from deprived backgrounds develop their sporting skills. As a volunteer, you will be involved in working with children from various unfortunate backgrounds, such as street children, orphans and children with disabilities. They have all been brought together by this programme to develop their talents through football.

Volunteer Role

The Football Programme operates in two main Areas of Ghana: Accra, the Capital of Ghana, and the Volta Region, to the East. The Accra placement is based around street football, where most Africans learn and play the sport. This project is perfect for anyone who loves the hustle and bustle of a large and busy city, and wishes to work in a less structured, more independent role. The Volta project is a more structured placement, based in an academy dedicated to finding and developing the best young football talent in Ghana. This is more suited to those looking for an African village experience, with more structure and intense coaching.

During your project, you will have the opportunity to take part in the following programme activities:

• Assist coaches in football classes – through skill development, coordination skills, game preparation and training drills
• Help in the organization of training sessions and competitions
• Referee short games for children at the project and in the local community
• Give advice and lessons on football tactics
• Teach new sports exercises and provide advice on health issues and requirements
• Take part in football camps and local tournaments
• Optional teaching within the academy or local schools

Project Location

Accra and rural areas of Ghana.

Project Age Limit

Minimum age 17, maximum decided on potential participant’s health.

Accommodation and Meals

During your project, you live with a local family close to where you will be working. You will have your own bedroom, though in a few instances you may also be sharing with another volunteer. During your stay, you will be provided with three meals per day.
