India has very less number of sports development coaching centers and these available centers are only in selected cities and a very few schools are conducting and promoting sports development activities. But in the rural areas; schools are completely far away from this type of coaching & centers. In these areas mostly schools are governed by State Government. So, due to lack of financial resources schools do not teach or develop sports. Therefore most children do not have any of physical education. Many people lacking vital coordination skills and an appreciation of the importance of exercise.
The activities you’ll be doing
Our sports development program in rural part of India is giving you an opportunity to coach a specific range of sports at some of our schools. Your help will provide a platform to lots of school children not only just to improve their fitness and health, but also become supportive to enjoy more play time with their friends. you will become a member of the local community and experience the interesting and amazing culture of one of the unique corners of India through sports volunteering program. In the sports volunteering your time on the program will be divided amongst sports coaching and other valuable community work.
A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always happy to make recommendations.

I joined work & travel program and I like the combination of volunteering and travel during the weekends. The children at the school are very friendly and love to get attention. Nice to volunteer during the morning and do something different with other volunteers during the afternoon. I have enjoyed my month in India a lot!
