About the football project
The football project in Ghana aims to boost the motivation of the young men at the rehabilitation center and of street children. Football is one of the most popular sports in Ghana, and it is played at a high level! People play football all over the country, 24/7. It is not only good for the body, but also great fun. The goal of the project is to play in the national league – a goal that the team is getting closer to with each season!
Volunteer work in the soccer project
During the first few days after your arrival in Ghana, you will take part in an orientation workshop where you will receive important information and advice. Topics of the workshop include, for example, health and safety, how to use public transportation, and how to withdraw money.
One of your tasks as a volunteer may be to assist the team's coaches. Depending on your previous knowledge in the field, you will be assigned individually. You will actively help to train the players according to their level. Your responsibilities will also include conducting warm-up and endurance exercises. You may also be assigned the task of scouting for new talent. If you are there during the off-season, you will be involved in special training days for recruitment. But don't worry: during your time as a volunteer, you will always have a competent contact person in the project at your side!
Your daily routine in the project
Your working day in the volunteer project is usually a 5-day week, during which you work 3 to 5 hours a day. Since games also take place at the weekend, you may be needed there. You can then take another day off during the week.
