On this project you can coach cricket to children who've rarely seen the game played - but it doesn't stop their enthusiasm to learn! Your role will be to coach cricket at schools during lesson times; after school you could be involved in selecting and coaching an Under-12s and Under-14s team for all of the schools. On the weekends you might have the opportunity to coach and train with the Ghana National Cricket team, depending on the season. So if you love cricket and want to teach this is the perfect placement for you.
Project OverviewGhana is not the first country to spring to mind to play the sport but after years of England being beaten by Sri Lanka and Australia, England have now found a new competitor - in the hot, dusty African fields of Ghana. We're looking for cricket enthusiasts as volunteers who can continue with the ground work that our volunteers have already started. We also want to expand the cricket programme to other schools, hopefully culminating in an annual Cricket Tournament. At the moment teaching cricket takes place in three schools and you may have the chance to work at all three.
Part of the uniqueness of Cricket is that the game also embodies a philosophy and discipline based on "fair play" and other life skills - so you'll actually be teaching the children more than 'just cricket'!
What you'll gain from doing this Project:- An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into Africa.
- 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
- The enormous satisfaction of helping disadvantaged children and knowing that you made a tremendous difference to them.
- And maybe best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
Your accommodation may vary, depending on where you are located. You may live in comfortable guest house accommodation, but you will most likely live with a host family in their home. This means that you get to eat, sleep, work, socialise and generally live like a Ghanaian. Local family stays enable you to fully experience the local culture from the inside.

User Comments:
“The level of cricket may not have been high, but it was one of the most enjoyable days I have spent on a cricket pitch. I’ve watched and played cricket all over the world, at all levels and only on rare occasions have I felt like I did after the tournament was over. The rush of pleasure from seeing how much the children enjoyed it was for me unrivalled.”
