Assist coaches in sports classes, specializing in netball – 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 netball tactics
Teach new sports exercises and provide advice on health issues and requirements
Optional teaching at local schools/community work

Location

Accra and rural areas of Ghana.

Accommodation and meals

You will stay in a private lodge in Accra. At the lodge, you will have your own private room, with access to the shared facilities. If you are looking to travel with another volunteer, it is possible for you to stay with a local host family. Host families are an excellent way to learn about the local culture from a completely different perspective and also help to provide you with local support while you are away from home. At the home-stay, you will have a private room and access to the home’s communal facilities.

The lodge cook or host family will provide you with 2 meals a day. Most meals will be made in the local style, with typical Ghanaian ingredients and recipes.
