Sports Coaching in Argentina

image
Work as a coach in Córdoba and help underprivileged young people to develop their sports skills.
Join our Community Sports Volunteer Program in Argentina and become a coach to develop the skills of young players from disadvantaged backgrounds. You will work in a community sports club and in primary and secondary schools where you will collaborate with local coaches. It’s a great way to help out and gain experience at the same time! In Argentina, sport is popular, but many children do not have the opportunity to participate. The club where we work offers free sessions to children who cannot afford them. You will help with soccer and basketball, and maybe also hockey, swimming, and gymnastics.
Do you love sports and working with children? Would you like to help nurture young talent? Then our sports volunteering in Argentina is for you! Through your work, you will increase young people’s self-confidence by developing their skills and motivating them to stay in good physical condition. It is also a great opportunity to improve your skills and gain experience as a coach. Don’t worry if you don’t have much experience. You will collaborate with dedicated coaches who are very open to volunteers

– Provide training sessions to disadvantaged children.

– Learn and teach new skills!

Where in Argentina will I work?
Your volunteering will take place in Córdoba, a city full of natural beauty with a true zest for life. You’ll see it reflected in its vibrant party scene and colourful street art. In Córdoba, you will never get bored! With a population of 2 million people, Córdoba is the second largest city in the country and the result of a great mix of cultures that include indigenous tribes, Italo -Argentines, Spanish-Argentines and immigrants from all corners of Europe.

Arrival airport
If you are going to work on this project, you should arrive at Cordoba International Airport (COR) where a member of our staff will be waiting to receive you.

Food and accommodation
You will stay with a host family in Córdoba. They will welcome you into their home and will be happy to share their customs and learn about your culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the Argentine lifestyle and have a truly unique experience. Your room will be simple, but comfortable, clean and safe. The cost of the program includes three meals a day.

Leisure
Argentina is a vibrant South American country full of colours and cultural heritage. As well as contributing to worthwhile projects, travelling to Argentina with us means you’ll be able to explore this fascinating country. Spend the afternoon enjoying a coffee in Plaza San Martín, with its street artists and its iconic statue of General José de San Martín. You can take a weekend trip to the mountains. The surrounding nature is impressive and a horseback ride through the nature trails is also worthwhile. There are cultural experiences, such as the Evita Superior Museum of Fine Arts or the Teatro del Libertador General San Martín. You can also learn about the country’s history at local museums and visit the birthplace of Che Guevara. There are probably other volunteers in Argentina, so you can explore on your own or with a group of volunteers from different projects.
