Athletics
There are very limited opportunities for children in Ghana to develop in athletics. The schools receive little funding for sports activities and the local clubs that do exist tend to struggle for decent equipment and dedicated staff. This is why you can make a huge difference as a volunteer athletics coach.
“I had a fantastic time and I was very well looked after. I would like to thank you all for a great experience” Sarah Gellatly

You do not need recognised qualifications, just some experience in your chosen event(s) and a willingness to organise athletics training for young, enthusiastic athletes. As a volunteer athletics coach, you will be assigned to one of the athletics clubs or schools in the local community. The athletes are aged between 10 and 16 and vary in talent and experience. However, coaching athletics in Ghana is not all about rigorous training. Your main goal is to simply allow more youngsters to train in a fun and structured environment, giving them the chance to belong to a team, enjoy sport and develop in the athletics events they are so passionate about. You will work alongside our in-country team and our other volunteer sports coaches. Collaborating with our other coaches is also a great way to organise sports days for the local community, bringing the schools and athletes together to perform in a fun and competitive environment. |
