Ultimate Coaching Opportunity in India
Posted by Noah on February 23, 2010
Guillaume Palias is an ultimate player and teacher from Toronto who recently spent a month working with an ultimate program in Ahmedabad, India. The program is looking for more coaches to help out, so he asked us to post the following:
Ahmedabad Ultimate (AU) is a local initiative by Indicorps aimed at transforming communities through sport using Ultimate Frisbee's philosophy of "spirit of the game". AU is looking for experienced coaches with a solid Ultimate Frisbee background and a desire to enable change. Primarily, volunteers are needed to assist in the implementation of an intense summer training camp for youth in Ahmedabad, India taking place during the month of May, 2010. We also welcome any longer term assistance, donations and other support.
Ways to get involved:
- Short-Term (1 week min): Be a coach at the summer camp.
- Long-Term (1 month min): At any time of the year, help at practices, tournaments and other project related tasks.
The staff and volunteers at AU will help organize your stay and will also guide your transition into Indian life (i.e. cultural do's and don'ts, getting around the city, where to eat, etc.). AU is also well connected to other NGOs creating opportunity for you to see other projects at work and open further volunteering channels.
Volunteering with Ahmedabad Ultimate allows you to be more than just a tourist; you become part of a community and take part in meaningful, life-changing work.
