India has very less number of sports development coaching
centers and such centers are only available in selected
cities. A very few schools are conducting and promoting
sports development activities. But in the rural areas,
schools are completely ignorant of sports coaching and also
no coaching centers are existing there. In these areas
mostly schools are manned by State Government. So, due to
lack of financial resources schools do not teach or develop
sports activities. Therefore most children do not have any
of physical education. Many people lacking vital
coordination skills and an appreciation of the importance of
exercise.

Our sports development program in rural part of India is

A day in the life of a volunteer
On working days, volunteers usually get up and have
breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our
staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer
Placement if required. You will probably spend about four
hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled
with opportunities to learn about the local culture and
customs, field trips to places of local interest,
discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening
meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy
authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The
food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of
local cooking traditions. The evenings and weekends are free
time, to relax or explore the local area. Volunteers often
travel to other parts of the country at weekends, and the
staff who are all from the local area themselves, are always
happy to make recommendations.
