Sports Coach South Africa
By joining this program, you’ll be contributing much valued help towards sports education and physical health in South Africa. You’ll find your time and efforts rewarded by watching the benefits of sport to these young enthusiastic children and you’ll be touched by the warmth of their appreciation.
Located in an underprivileged area between East London and Durban, this highly popular program focuses on teaching sport to children who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity of improving their skills. The area is well known for the limited resources it has educationally, and there is little investment or wealth in the region. The program aims to help these children achieve a better future where they can be helped to change their own personal circumstances.
Focusing on rural local schools, it also helps promote an IT education project as well as improving sports skills. Consequently by having better computer skills, the children increase their chances of better employment.
Volunteer Role
You’ll helping to increase the children’s understanding of Sports etiquette, discipline and teamwork. Sport has been proved to be beneficial to not only health, but developing social interaction and understanding; and in a country like South Africa these are very helpful to creating a stable and peaceful society.
Sport can also be used as an forum for promoting AIDS/HIV awareness and dealing with other STD issues amongst youth. South Africa currently suffers heavily from these problems, and so the next generations need to be educated in how to avoid suffering from these diseases.
Accommodation & Meals
Staying in shared cottages with picturesque views over beach and lagoon, you’ll be allocated a room with another volunteer. You’ll be part of a designated Backpacker Hostel, which has numerous sports facilities of its own for you to use for your leisure time. As well as canoes and beach equipment, you can access various water sports nearby.
Three meals are provided daily, including packed lunches for the project days. All diets can be accommodated.
