Sport Project - Morocco

Always had a passion for sport and keen to share it with the world?

Then the Sports Education Project in Morocco might be exactly what you’re looking for!

Here, you’ll work with local kids and teens, coaching them in sports like football, basketball, volleyball and athletics, and maybe even introducing them to a few fun games from back home. It’s not just about teaching skills; it’s about sharing the joy of movement and showing the power of teamwork.

Ready to see how sport can change lives?
This is your moment to bring your energy and enthusiasm to something truly meaningful, all while experiencing a vibrant new culture and making memories that’ll stick with you for life.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a volunteer on the Sports Education Project, you’ll have plenty of chances to put your love for sport into action. You’ll help coach kids and teens in a mix of sports including football, basketball, tennis, athletics and more. It’s not just about drills and techniques (though those matter too). It’s also about building confidence, encouraging team spirit and making movement fun for everyone.

You’ll take an active role in training sessions, helping kids with their skills, cheering them on and bringing in new games or exercises. Whether you're guiding them through warm-ups, running a mini tournament or just kicking the footy around, your energy will make a big difference.

You’ll also collaborate with local coaches and other volunteers to help broaden the range of sports on offer and make sessions accessible to as many kids as possible. Your role goes beyond coaching. You’ll be creating a space where kids can grow both physically and personally.

A Typical Day on the Project

Your alarm might go off early but you’ll be pumped for the day ahead. After a good brekkie with your host family (a great way to get a taste of local life), you’ll head to the project site around 8:30am. By 9:00am, a bunch of energetic kids will be waiting, ready to jump into a day full of action.

The morning kicks off with a group warm-up that might include stretching, moving and probably a few laughs, before diving into the first session of the day. You might be leading a football drill, running some athletics races or coaching a basketball game. It’s not just about sharpening skills. It’s about making sure the kids are having a blast, building trust and learning to work together.

Lunchtime is your chance to take a breather, share stories with the team and maybe pick up a few words of Arabic or French. In the afternoon, you might shake things up with a new game or sport, maybe something from home that the kids haven’t tried before.

By 4:00pm, the workday winds down and you’re free to enjoy your evening however you like. Explore the town, chill out with your fellow volunteers or just relax at your homestay. Around 8:30pm, you’ll share dinner with your host family, often the perfect moment to laugh over the day’s highlights and feel a genuine connection to your new home away from home.

Every day brings something new and every moment is a chance to grow, learn and help expand the horizons of the kids you’re working with.
