Coach Football to Children in Schools in India

The sports you can teach are volleyball, cricket, football, tennis, table tennis and badminton. If you would like to coach other sports and not just football then you also have the opportunity to do this.

You can use the holidays to tour around the country and sightsee. These Summer Camps actually take place in the school grounds and are an opportunity to give more informal lessons, perhaps combining them with playing a sport or putting together a music concert or play – much more relaxed and not quite so structured.

You may be able to coach during the Summer Holidays (April to May) when Summer Camps are held in some of our schools for approximately 60 children. Minimum duration is 2 weeks. Coaching football is only available from June to February as from the beginning of March the children have to concentrate on their academic studies as their exams are just around the corner.

Most of the schools are privately run as they tend to be larger and have playgrounds. However, most of the schools have only basic equipment, such as a few deflated footballs, no nets or bibs and potholed pitches! Some schools even use the car park as a playing ground. Although materials and resources may be scarce, the enthusiasm of the students and colleagues more than makes up for any hardships. The School Principals say that the children have also learned life skills from the team work and gained tremendous confidence in themselves.

You'll usually coaching for 3 to 5 hours at one school only, however there is a possibility that you may coach in two sessions and at two different venues. You'll work in secondary schools and you will normally help out with all age groups.

Coach football to children of all age groups, mainly in secondary schools in the bustling city of Madurai. Although facilities are basic, you'll be greeted with warm smiles and big hearts.
