Sports Volunteer Programme
Mornings are spent taking PE classes at the local school – volunteers work as one of the main PE teachers and will be given as much assistance as possible with teaching tips and information on class standards.
When school has finished for the day, in the afternoon, time can be spent running a sports coaching clinic and organising games for all the children in the local community. Volunteers are able to play a variety of sports with the children – football is Costa Rica’s main sport and is played by all the kids, girls and boys alike.
There are a number of other popular sports such as volleyball and basketball and you will have the opportunity to get involved with them all.
