    About the program

    Honduras is a soccer-loving country. If you have knowledge of soccer and would like to pass it on - this volunteer project is for you!  The aim is to enable Honduran children and young people to play soccer and to strengthen their personalities. Our sport project has a very positive impact on children. As well as the obvious physical and mental benefits that regular exercise provides, there are many inherent life-skills to be learned, such as the importance of team-work, communication and discipline. 

    Although most people in Roatan do not have sufficient financial resources to afford high-quality sports equipment, soccer is an integral part of Honduran culture. Soccer in particular is very popular and the number one sport. However, the existing soccer facilities do not meet European standards.  

    This project brings people together and helps to build strong communities. Soccer helps provide a much-needed distraction from more negative aspects of the children's lives. The children from disadvantaged backgrounds, soccer offers them a path of excitement. As a soccer coaching volunteer, you will be helping with all aspect of the team. You are responsible for helping in the organization of training. You help the children to develop their basic skills and techniques such as development of ball control, accurate passing, keeping possession, game tactics etc. You will be working with the local coachies who will assist you with any help you will need. The project is a great chance to improve skills and ability whilst also helping local children to develop their talents and have fun. 

    Be prepared to do a little bit of everything in our soccer project. One of our core values is that everything is important. Some days we will be preparing trainings, performing personalized training, leading physical training sessions or maybe teaching English as well. Everything we do in favour of the Honduran kids is of great importance. You will work alongside and under the leadership of our coaching staff.

    If you are interested in sports, are already a member of a sports club, like to do sports outdoor or are a passionate soccer player, you are the right person to volunteer in our sports project. Volunteers do not need to bring any special equipment.
