Program Highlights
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals:
This program is ideal for
Volunteers who are passionate about sports, have previous experience, and understand how important it is for students to utilize their energy in productive and valuable pursuits, are well-suited for this role. As your tasks will vary based on various factors, you should be open to helping out in any kind of activity that is prioritised while you’re there.
The Primary School Sports program runs in conjunction with the Teaching/Education program. While the main focus of every school is academics, recent studies have consistently shown that sports activities are almost equally as important. Children need to be active in order to enhance their growth, learning, and overall health.
Private schools in Cape Town have all invested a lot of time, money, and resources in running high-quality Physical Education and sports programs – balancing this with a good academic program has produced top students on an annual basis. Public/Government schools, however, have very limited resources and funding, and even though they realize the importance of sports, they have had to invest almost everything into the academic side of things. In most cases, there simply is no budget for physical education teachers, sports coaches, or the relevant equipment.
Sports volunteers are therefore much-needed and much-appreciated by these schools – some schools actually stop running their physical education classes when volunteers are not available.
