In local schools in Hua Hin, you’ll enhance the current sports, physical education, and health curriculum for the children. This is an after-school program so will run from 4pm until 6:30pm, Monday to Friday.
The program offers kids more chances to engage in sports, since the current curriculum only includes one hour of sports lessons each week. It also aims to introduce new sports that they might not otherwise try.
The training sessions mainly focus on team sports like soccer, netball, volleyball, and rugby. Currently, boys are trained in soccer and girls in volleyball, but with this program, we aim to broaden the range of sports available to all children.
Additionally, we provide health lessons covering personal care and important topics like gender equality. All activities happen on the sports field in a fun, active, and interactive way. Using sports helps children develop socially, gain knowledge, and foster passion, all of which are essential life skills leading to success.
Having a strong interest in sports and a positive attitude will greatly assist you in working with the children.
