Football (soccer) coach in Zanzibar
The organization "Zanzibar Football Standard and Talents Advancement" has set itself the goal of discovering football talent and promoting and elevating the level of football on the island. Additionally, it aims to provide meaningful and healthy recreational activities to children and young people through football, keeping them away from the dangers of drug abuse or crime.
The work is organized through 15 local volunteers who regularly scout for talent on the island, observing games held in various locations. Currently, 45 talents have been identified, and they gather every Saturday and Sunday at the "Samulizi Ground" behind the large Amani Stadium in Zanzibar for training.
Volunteers can participate in both talent scouting and football training. Since the organization operates completely on a voluntary basis and only operates on weekends, and thus cannot offer full-time employment for foreign volunteers, you can choose from the following options for weekdays:
- Offer football or other sports activities in other facilities for children and young people in Zanzibar Town, which we will introduce to you. Please communicate with us about the suitable timeframe for you, and we will suggest opportunities for involvement.
- Combine with the athletics volunteer placement (see below).
- Some of our former football volunteers in Zanzibar have also organized tournaments where various village and district clubs participated.
Track and field athletics coach in Zanzibar
The "Zanzibar Amateur Athletics Association" conducts athletic training for all ages, catering to both male and female athletes. Participants train athletes in sprinting, mid and long-distance running, as well as jumping and throwing events. Some athletes participate in international competitions and receive benefits that help them qualify for world championships and the Olympic Games. Women in Zanzibar, in particular, have been successful sprinters. Mr. Gulaam, the head of the Association, has participated several times in the World Championships in the 400-meter hurdles.
Due to high temperatures in the afternoons, training usually takes place early in the morning from around 6:30 a.m. at the Amani Stadium, the main stadium in Zanzibar, which has electronic measuring systems. Additionally, from around 4:30 p.m., the parks of Maisara are frequented by sports clubs, and athletics and soccer training are held daily.
As a track and field volunteer, you can specialize in the disciplines that suit you best and assist local coaches. You can also choose which age group you would like to train.
