Voluntary Work
Join this project and help to coach sports to disadvantaged children in a Township on the suburbs of Cape Town. With Table Mountain as your backdrop, you will be able to offer local children structured sports coaching and games, whilst also providing additional support to the Township school.
This project aims to relieve the stretched resources of a Township school located near Hout Bay. There you will teach academic subjects in the mornings such as English, maths and IT, with the afternoons reserved for sports coaching, especially football.
The school itself does not offer formal sports or physical education classes, so this project will mainly involve you initiating these programmes. The main purpose is to teach the children the value of teamwork, develop their coordination skills and give them something fun to do!
Football Coaching
The football coaching programme is based on a format determined by the South African Football Association (SAFA). Volunteers are encouraged to have structured coaching sessions mixed in with games and competitions, so that the children get taught new disciplines and applications. This is also a great opportunity if you are looking to develop your own coaching skills or train for a career in sports coaching. More information about the SAFA programme will be covered in your orientation and coaching manuals will always be available.
