SPORTS COACHING PROGRAM
​
Physical Education helps develop fine motor skills, teaches core values and morals, encourages appropriate team behaviour and works as a healthy outlet for stress anger and anxieties. Physical exercise during the school day is proven to assist the children's ability to concentrate during classes as well as enhancing their overall behaviour and mood. Sport is a cornerstone that builds community cohesion by bringing different cultures together with a common purpose in mind. It has the ability to be a platform for young athletes to achieve greatness in their lives and for others to express themselves, or to even find a sense of identity. Volunteers can use Sports Coaching as an opportunity to connect with children and communities through a common interest, to speak a universal language and to unite with a common goal.
