About Program
Ghana is known as "The Gateway to Africa" and a great country to start with if you have never stepped foot on the continent before. The people are naturally very sporty, warm, friendly, funny and spiritual and will welcome you to their country. However, like so much of Africa, they need help to develop their skills and knowledge and this is where having a volunteer like you helps.
Rugby is a great sport to coach and is played worldwide and watched on the TV everywhere too. As well as all the physical benefits of playing a sport, such as increased fitness and health, the players learn to work as a team, respect each other, be disciplined and loose with grace.
This is a great opportunity to visit this beautiful country and its people and get involved in a coaching program.
