Volunteer Sports Coaching in Argentina

Are you a keen sportsman/woman? Do you enjoy working with children? Are you passionate about helping nurture their talents? Then, volunteering as a sports coach in Argentina is perfect for you!

We have partnered with a community sports initiative that provides free football and hockey lessons to children from impoverished families. Your role will be to build their confidence, develop their ability, and encourage them to keep fit.

It’s also an excellent opportunity for you to refine your own skills and gain experience in sports coaching. Don’t worry if you have little or no coaching experience. You will be working with local coaches who are dedicated to their programmes and very open to volunteers. They will help you in any way they can. Projects Abroad staff will also be there to help you.

This project runs throughout the year, so you can join at any time. Please contact us to discuss which dates work for you.

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!

The main aim of this project is to help disadvantaged youth learn important life skills through sports.

Sport in Argentina is extremely popular. There are so many children wishing to participate, but due to a lack of resources, opportunity is limited. The club we work with provides disadvantaged children with free lessons, giving them a chance to participate. We need your help to coach these children.

Through this project, you can dedicate your time, energy, and skills to coaching children and help them to improve their abilities and technique. You’ll find that every student is different. However, each one will greatly benefit from your coaching to improve their performance.

Join us in Argentina today to help improve the lives of young people through sport.
