Looking for a rewarding way to explore Bali while making a genuine impact? This opportunity to teach and coach sports in Bali offers travellers the chance to connect with local children, experience authentic Balinese culture, and support a grassroots education project in the heart of Tabanan. At the Eka Chita Pradnyan Learning Centre, volunteers help create a safe and supportive space where kids can learn English, build confidence, and stay active through play and sport. It’s a unique way to step off the tourist path, immerse yourself in daily life, and leave a positive mark on the community.
Teach and Coach Sports in Bali: Tasks & Roles
Those who join the programme to teach and coach sports in Bali will spend just two and a half hours a day, four days a week, leading fun, informal English sessions and introducing games or sports to children eager to learn. No formal teaching qualifications are required—enthusiasm, creativity, and a love of working with kids are what matter most. The relaxed schedule means plenty of time to explore Bali’s temples, beaches, rice terraces, and vibrant markets while contributing to a project that truly benefits the local community. Whether staying for a week or longer, every volunteer plays a key role in inspiring and supporting the next generation.
Teach and Coach Sports in Bali: Living & Getting There
Accommodation is provided in a welcoming, family-run homestay where cultural exchange happens naturally. Volunteers stay in a comfortable private or twin-share suite with a private bathroom, air conditioning, hot water, towels, Wi-Fi, and fresh bedding. Three home-cooked Balinese meals are served daily, making this a true taste of local hospitality. The nearest airport is Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, and pick-up can be arranged for an additional fee. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed into a community that feels like family.
