Work in one of the most beautiful areas of South Africa

We aim to develop skills with training and focus through a structured programme to enable both kids and volunteers to benefit from the experience and interaction.

Although Sports edge is initially Football/Soccer focused due to the popularity of the sport within South Africa, we do run clinics for other sports such as:

Rugby

Basketball/Netball

Cricket

Surfing

The Project is then split into either Multi Sports or Sport Specific, for example you may choose to partake in one sport only or many sports. With some of these projects you will be working with different kids every week and others you will be involved the ongoing clinics working with many of the same children.

Smaller focus groups enable children to learn faster, with more one on one attention and to have more fun.

Depending on the time of year you will be a part of a either a term time or holiday programme and the amount, age and location of the kids will therefore be changeable. You will be working with various participating schools and centres around the local area.

At times you will need to fit into project development officers requirements for specific current projects.
