You will start your mornings with a hearty breakfast in your host family’s home. From here, you will make use of public transport to get to the Club Atlético Racing around 10 am. On your first day, our staff will show you how to get there.
The first two hours of your working day will be dedicated to meeting with the local teachers to help coordinate and plan coaching sessions. These meetings will also be a useful time to discuss team selections and match strategies.
At around 12 pm, you will get an hour and a half lunch break. If your host family lives close enough, you can head home to eat and rest for a bit. Alternatively, you will enjoy a packed lunch at the club.
As schools close for the day, children will start arriving at the club in the afternoon. This is when the fun begins! You will spend the rest of the day helping them develop basic skills and techniques. If you’re a football fanatic, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to share your passion here. However, there are also opportunities to coach basketball, hockey, swimming, and gymnastics.
You may be asked to help out at games on certain evenings and weekends or even join in a game yourself. However, you will also get plenty of free time to explore with your fellow volunteers and get to know your host family.
Cordoba is a vibrant city with loads of interesting restaurants to try out. If you have a whole weekend free, you can even head further up the coast for a trip. There are many adventures to be had!
