This placement would suit... An Africa loving sports enthusiast or anyone who wants to try something completely new.
 Teaching cricket in ghana? now there's a thought!!
There is lots of the good stuff in Ghana - lots of almost overwhelming hospitality and friendliness, lots of religions, lots of languages, lots of music, dancing, action and socialising in Accra, and lots and lots of glorious open African country and sunshine! All this contributes to making this project very enjoyable.
Ghana is not the first country to spring to mind to play the sport but after years of England being beaten buy Sri Lanka and Australia, England have now found a new competitor - in the hot, dusty African fields of Ghana. We're looking for cricket enthusiasts as volunteers who can continue with the ground work we've already started. We also want to expand the cricket programme to other schools, hopefully culminating in an annual Cricket Tournament. At the moment teaching cricket takes place in three schools and you'll probably work at all three. Part of the uniqueness of Cricket is that the game also embodies a philosophy and discipline based on "fair play" and other life skills - so you'll actually be teaching the children more than 'just cricket'!
At the same time as teaching Cricket, you can also teach other subjects, such as conversational English or even other sports, if you'd like to. You don't need any qualifications to participate in a teaching placement in Ghana (but if you're combining Cricket with teaching English, you do need to be fluent in English).
As a volunteer sports coach with Travellers, we have arranged for you to get a year’s free subscription to a Coaching website. With this membership (which normally comes with a price tag of £39.99), you automatically become a member of the International Coaches Association (ICA) and join a community of coaches from over 65 countries.
The ICA is rapidly growing into one of the largest coaching organizations in the world. This subscription will allow you access to over 4,000 pages of the best interactive, online soccer and football coaching information.
Travellers’ placements are very flexible and can be combined with any other Travellers placement and tailor made to your requirements!
