Overview
Volunteering in Ghana with Samba Africa is a chance for you to share your passion for this popular sport abroad and to help children develop their skills and talents. Soccer is the national sport in Ghana and its popularity can be seen everywhere. From the numerous soccer flags on cars, stickers in taxis, locals in soccer jerseys, or kids playing in the street, it is immediately apparent that Ghanaians are extremely passionate about soccer. Given the 'Black Stars' - the Ghanaian team - successful performance in recent World Cups, soccer in Ghana can only continue to get bigger and better.
Our soccer projects in Ghana provide the opportunity for all young players to develop their basic skills and techniques with the hope that some may achieve the success of Premiership stars Asamoah Gyan, Michael Essien. There will also be the opportunity to see some of Ghana's many top division club teams - like Kotoko and Hearts of Oak - in action. Volunteers sometimes take young players to games to help with their soccer development and to provide a well-earned break from their sport coaching.
Typical day
Volunteers will have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of a youth academy. Volunteers will take part in the morning meeting with the local coaches to prepare the training session, do match analysis, and discuss the weekly schedule. In the afternoons they will work with a youth team, giving them the benefit of their newly acquired coaching knowledge and skills.
This project is a fantastic chance to improve your skills and ability while also helping local children to develop their game. If you are good enough you may even be selected to play for one of the local third division teams in one of their friendly games.
