Ghana rugby coaching
Join the Rugby Coaching project and help to develop one of the fastest growing sports in Ghana. Coach rugby to different skill levels according to your own experience, from grass roots to the international team.
Although a government approved sport, the financial resources allocated to rugby are woefully inadequate. Secondary schools are being actively encouraged to teach a wider range of sports, rugby included, however, there are no further resources to bring in qualified coaches or the right equipment. Therefore, volunteer coaches and rugby enthusiasts are needed to make up for the skills shortage that currently exists.

Rugby Coaching Placement:
Your placement will be in Accra the Capital of Ghana. There are 11 main schools and clubs in the city, where it will be your responsibility to organise training sessions and matches in conjunction with the project coordinator (who is also a full-time coach). After spending the first week shadowing the rugby coordinator, you will then have the freedom to organise your own sessions amongst the schools and clubs you will be working with.
Volunteers with coaching experience will have the opportunity to assist with the national teams! Previous volunteers have coached the Under 21 sides and others have coached the full National Squad!
Volunteer Role:
During your project, you will have the opportunity to take part in the following programme activities:
• Assist coaches in rugby classes – through skill development, coordination skills, game preparation and training drills
• Help in the organization of training sessions and competitions
• Referee short games for children at the project and in the local community
• Give advice and lessons on rugby tactics
• Teach new sports exercises and provide advice on health issues and requirements
• Optional teaching at local schools/community work |
