Project Summary

What is the Sports Teaching in Rural Cambodia all about?

If you are passionate about sports and would like to teach the local kids about mainly football, then this project is for you! You will be teaching the children from the local football team mainly football (soccer). Teaching happens in a provincial stadium located 15 minutes away from your accommodation by bike.

The coaching sessions should be both technical and practical. Your local coordinator will share ideas, but you are expected to bring a go-to attitude and lead your group with drills, ideas and fitness exercises.
Keep in mind that equipment may be limited and not exactly what you may be used to, so you may need to be resourceful and creative!

The aim of the project is to broaden the social and athletic skills that these children have through participation in sports activities. These new skills and lessons will foster the development of important life skills.


Why choose this Sports Teaching project in Rural Cambodia?

This is a great project for anyone passionate about sports and more specifically football. You will be living in a rural village of Cambodia while teaching the local kids on how to work as a group to win a game and respect each other while doing so. During this program, you will coach children between the ages of 10-13 years in order to help them develop their social, physical and mental skills. The children will learn valuable team building skills and a sense of discipline, that will assist them greatly throughout their lives.


Role of the volunteer teacher

You will be teaching sports activities to help the children improve their level of fitness and develop essential life skills learning to work as a team. You can expect to work around 6 hours per day coaching the students two 3-hour sessions, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. By managing the children, you will develop some leadership, teamwork and creativity skills as you will be required to come up with your own coaching sessions including drills for the sports group to practice.


What skills do I need to do volunteer teaching on this Sports project?

This project requires some knowledge, experience or qualification in football or sports coaching. You need to be able to share your love for football so knowledge of football and team management skills will be needed! Basic level of English will also be necessary to communicate with the local children.
