Coach Sports Abroad: Coach Cricket in India

Cricket match

In a country that has so much diversity in terms of lifestyle, religion and race, sports are one area where the culture unifies. Cricket is by far the most popular sport in India. In fact, cricket is one of the few aspects of Indian life that unites the whole country. Ever since the first game was played in India nearly three centuries ago, Indian people have identified with its tactics and skills, and cricket has been a major source of entertainment.

You don’t have to look far in India to see children playing practice cricket in the street with makeshift bats, balls and stumps. The fact that most children will play at any opportunity shows their interest level, and what a great place India is to coach cricket.

Volunteer Cricket Coaching with Projects Abroad

We feel that it is important that children get the basics of cricket right before progressing on to the more difficult skills and techniques. Embracing this commitment at a grassroots level, our coaching sports in India work with many schools in Tamil Nadu. Your role will be a mixture of passing on your knowledge of the cricket, handing out practical advice for games and coaching at practice.

There is also the entertaining ‘Volunteers versus Projects Abroad India Staff’ cricket match where you can show off your cricket coaching skills in an international arena! Volunteers and staff members eagerly battle it out in the heat for the prestige that comes with victory. Reports of each game are always to be found in the monthly Sivikasi Times publication, which is produced by volunteers on the Journalism project, then distributed across the region and in Projects Offices around the world.

Volunteering Abroad on a Cricket Team in India

Being a cricket coach in India means you should be looking to improve the performances of each individual and the team as a whole. Every player is different and will need your specialized care and attention to improve their performance, which will in turn improve the performance of the team to some extent. But to really make a team successful you have to foster a spirit of trust and cooperation, and get the individuals playing for each other.

If the clunk of leather on willow, the ability to spot a googly or the scream of "Howzat?” is in your blood, then look no further than a Projects Abroad Cricket coaching placement in India.

The cricket coaching project in India is available for two weeks if you don't have time to join us for a month or more. This project has been selected by our local colleagues as being suitable for short term volunteering for both the host community and the volunteer. Although you will gain a valuable cultural insight and work intensely within the local community please be aware that you may not be able to make the same impact as someone volunteering for a longer period. Volunteers who can only join us for two weeks may be paired up with another longer term sports volunteer.
