Challenge
yourself as you work on delivering new and fun coaching sessions for the
children as well as organising basketball games and building lifelong friendships
through sports. Basketball is said to be Ghana's next
up-and-coming sport event. There is an abundance of raw talent within the
country and the Ghana Basketball Association has worked hard to implement an
intricate training and development programme. Basketball placement will
give interested participants the opportunity to access some of Ghana's finest
athletes and take part in their coaching and training. However, this is only
one side of the game and you can choose how involved you want to be. A
basketball placement will allow you to work with young and enthusiastic players
on a more relaxed level where the emphasis is on fun and developing strong
friendships. At this level, the placement is about building worthwhile
relationships, rather than creating Ghana's next big star.
volunteer placement can be done in the big cities of Ghana as well as in the Rural areas where volunteers will be living among the local families, gets to know their rich culture,food and make new friends .
Samba
Basketball project is link to numerous number of local schools and league teams
where there is a competitive, as well as a more relaxed, attitude towards the
game. We also work closely with the Ghana Basketball Association and can place
our basketball coaches in some of the top development clinics and training
sessions for the junior national teams. Samba Africa can provide a placement
for any enthusiastic volunteer, no matter what experience you have.
These are the main activities you can get involved with during your project:
- Coach basketball to disadvantaged children at a basketball club
- Research and plan new, creative coaching methods
