    About the program

    In local schools in Hua Hin, you’ll enhance the current sports, physical education, and health curriculum for the children. This is an after-school program so will run from 4pm until 6:30pm, Monday to Friday.

    The program offers kids more chances to engage in sports, since the current curriculum only includes one hour of sports lessons each week. It also aims to introduce new sports that they might not otherwise try.

    The training sessions mainly focus on team sports like soccer, netball, volleyball, and rugby. Currently, boys are trained in soccer and girls in volleyball, but with this program, we aim to broaden the range of sports available to all children.

    Additionally, we provide health lessons covering personal care and important topics like gender equality. All activities happen on the sports field in a fun, active, and interactive way. Using sports helps children develop socially, gain knowledge, and foster passion, all of which are essential life skills leading to success.

    Having a strong interest in sports and a positive attitude will greatly assist you in working with the children. 

    Location

    Hua Hin, is a lively fisherman-town and popular tourist spot these days offering all the standard beach stuff like snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing and with plenty of restaurants and tourist things like spas, water park, golf, shops and markets. There is a mountain at the end of the beach called Khoa Tekiab, with a temple that overlooks the beach. Surrounded by national parks, it’s a mountainous region where you can explore waterfalls and caves on various adventures. Buddhism is very prominent here and you will certainly get a good taste of the Buddhist way of life.
