💼 What the programme involves
We organize sports coaching and health care sessions for children in the state of Udaipur. The Sports Coaching project takes place at two schools in the Udaipur area. At these schools, you will add an essential element to the current sports and health curriculum for the children.
This program gives the children the opportunity to be more involved with sports, as there is currently just only one hour of sports lessons a week in the existing curriculum, and to introduce new sports to the children that they would otherwise not likely to get involved in.
The training sessions consist mainly of team sports such as soccer, volleyball, hockey, athletics and gymnastics and so on. With this program, we are aiming to broaden the types of sports that these children can participate in.
Furthermore, we also give the children health lessons on personal health care and other important issues such as gender equality. All elements of the program take place on the sports field in a fun, active and interactive way. Using sports can aid the personal development of any child as it promotes the social interaction, knowledge and passion which are all life skills that lead to the pathway of success.
