This sports coaching program is perfect for passionate individuals eager to make a meaningful impact by teaching children the importance and power of sports. You’ll work with students from a range of age groups and skill levels, all excited to learn, play, and grow with your guidance. As their coach, your involvement will provide them with valuable lessons both on and off the field—helping them develop their abilities, boost their confidence, and foster a genuine love for sports.
Coaching sessions take place at local schools in town, where you’ll have the opportunity to lead daily training using your own methods and techniques. Beyond improving their physical skills, you’ll also play a vital role in teaching the children discipline, resilience, and how to learn from setbacks—lessons that extend far beyond the game. Many of these children come from underprivileged backgrounds, and your mentorship can be a source of real inspiration for their future.
The program focuses on some of the community’s most popular sports, including football, basketball, and more. Coaching schedules are confirmed each Friday and may vary depending on student activities, local conditions, and weather. You’ll typically coach for around 4 hours per day.
Bring your passion, energy, and enthusiasm—you’ll be helping turn young dreams into reality. You’re also welcome to bring any equipment or training aids that can support your sessions, as resources may be limited in some areas.
Outside of coaching, you’ll have the chance to relax and enjoy Bali with fellow volunteers. After your sessions, take part in fun and laid-back group activities, and make the most of your weekends by exploring the island’s breathtaking beaches, lush landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. We’ll be happy to help organise your weekend adventures so you don’t miss out on any of Bali’s beauty.
Location
Lovina is situated right at the North end of Bali and is much less touristy than areas down South – which is the beauty of it! Life is relaxed here with less traffic, tourist, and uncrowded beaches. It is also close to other beauty spots, such as stunning natural waterfalls, hot springs, diving and dolphin tours. Lovina gives you a teste for wat ‘old Bali’ was like before tourism arrived and is great for those wanting a more authentic location to stay.
Project Tasks
To encourage children to participate in sports, provide proper training, and inspire them to aim high in life.
*PLEASE NOTE: All participants for the Education, Teaching, Construction, and Turtle Conservation projects, are required to apply for a C6 Social Cultural visa prior to arrival. Participants who have a Visa On Arrival or an E-Visa on Arrival will not be able to participate in these projects. Participants who only attend the culture, adventure, and yoga weeks will be accepted to join the programs with a Visa on Arrival. Going through an online agency or via our local team is the easiest way to obtain the visa.
**Exceptions to the C6 visa
Participants can join any program with a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for the following program types:
- 1-week culture week, plus 1 to 3 week volunteer program
- 1-week volunteer program
However, it is important to highlight that participants using a VOA must put 'tourism' for reason of visit.
We still encourage volunteers to arrive with a C6 visa for all programs. Please note that obtaining and using a VOA is entirely the participant's responsibility. We cannot be held accountable for any issues or concerns arising from this, as we are obligated to recommend the appropriate visa type for participants joining volunteering projects.
