Volunteer
in Ghana as a volleyball coach and give hundreds of children the chance to play
and enjoy the game in a fun environment. Coaching volleyball to children in Ghana
is a great way to volunteer in Ghana, meet new people and discover a breath-taking
part of Africa.
Volleyball is one of Ghana’s next
up-and-coming sports and there has been a significant increase in the number of
players joining the sport in the last few years. Although Ghana does not have a
history of mass participation in Volleyball, there is an ever increasing passion
to play volleyball in the schools and universities. Ghana also boasts a structured
league system with a number of decent club teams training and competing on a
regular basis. This has helped fuel the emergence of a much improved national
squad with a number of very talented players.
If you
have played or coached volleyball in the past, and have lots of enthusiasm for the
game, you will be able to make a very positive change on Ghanaian volleyball, be
it at the grassroots end of the game or even at national level.
Volleyball Volunteer Placement
Placement will involve coaching sessions in schools, clubs and some
universities. The work in schools is at the lower end of the game and you will
be able to coach in universities and clubs as well. Depending on your
confidence and coaching experience, you will also have opportunities to coach
and train with the national Volleyball squad. Most of your players will come from
poorer backgrounds, never having had the chance to play volleyball before. By
volunteering in Ghana, you will therefore give a number of children access to
the sport, either to enjoy it as a fun hobby, or to nurture raw talent that
would otherwise go unnoticed.
