Are you passionate about sports?
Channel your athletic talents and expertise into serving others by volunteering to coach sports in Uganda, where netball and soccer hold special significance. You may also have the opportunity to participate in a sports coaching clinic, where you can impart the principles of rugby—a sport that instills unity and camaraderie among young athletes. In Uganda, engaging in sports not only cultivates valuable life skills but also promotes physical well-being in an enjoyable and effective manner. Sadly, many Ugandan villages lack access to sports education opportunities. Through our sports volunteer initiatives, we aim to nurture talent and uplift the lives of children from underserved communities, reflecting the love and compassion of Christ through our actions.

Volunteer in Sports Coaching FAQs
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGING CHILDREN IN SPORTS?
Youth sports offer remarkable opportunities for young individuals to come together as a unified team, tackling challenges and obstacles with faith and perseverance. Through these endeavors, we aim to nurture the essential behavioral skills vital to a child’s holistic development. Research has shown that increased physical activity not only enhances a child’s mental and physical well-being but also positively impacts their academic performance. Moreover, participation in youth sports provides a joyful and enriching environment wherein young individuals can cultivate confidence and steer clear of harmful temptations such as substance abuse and criminal activities. Let us guide the youth towards the path of righteousness, instilling in them the values of teamwork, discipline, and faith, as we walk alongside them in their journey of growth and transformation.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF SPORTS IN UGANDA?
Unfortunately, a considerable number of children in Uganda are deprived of opportunities to nurture their athletic talents. In a nation where resources are scarce and communities struggle to provide such programs, approximately half of the children endure extreme poverty. Moreover, many schools in Uganda do not incorporate physical education into their educational frameworks, and those that do often grapple with severely underfunded programs. As followers of Christ, it is our duty to extend our hands in compassion and support to these marginalized children, ensuring they receive the guidance and resources needed to flourish in all aspects of their lives.
