This placement would suit... Keen rugby players and good communicators who are happy to teach rugby to enthusiastic beginners and up-and-coming stars.

Our rugby projects give you the chance to organise coaching sessions, training drills and matches for local children who are keen to play and develop in a game that is loved on all continents. Although the emphasis is on fun, you are sure to discover hidden talent that can be advanced through your hard work and knowledge of the game.

Although Rugby is already played in Ghana and some club teams exist, there is a lack of structure and funding at the grass-roots level. However, the passion for Ghanaian sport spreads into Rugby and there are many young players who want the chance to develop their skills. Through our rugby project, volunteers can experience the African game while making a positive difference to the advancement of Ghana’s next up-and-coming sport.

Coach rugby

Our placements will see you work in two areas. The first is at the Accra Rugby Club (ARC), and the second is in the surrounding schools. Many Ghanaian school children are not familiar with Rugby. However, as with most sports, the children are always keen to try new sports, especially when they have the opportunity to play and learn in a structured environment.

In addition to coaching, volunteers will have the chance to play alongside the senior players at the ARC. This is a unique chance to build cultural friendships and experience the strength of the West African game firsthand.
