COACH SPORTS IN RAJASTHAN  Experience adventures through India and then work with children to expand their passion of sports!
This program has been launched to encourage and support sports activities in schools while giving volunteers a unique opportunity to get a close cultural interaction with the students through their sports coaching. Volunteers take part in schools’ sports periods, set up sports clubs, introduce various sports and games, practice skills and exercises, teach the logic and rules of games, and help enhance the motor skills of the children.
 Active in India begins with an adventure expedition to get the program started off right. This program focuses on sports. The expedition is followed by an orientation and 4–6 weeks of fun sports teaching in Indian schools topped with weekend excursions.
Adventure expeditions will be held in either the fascinating Himalayas or colourful Rajasthan (depending on the season). In the Himalayas, one week of thrilling adventure activities await the group including rafting, trekking, wildlife, yoga and sightseeing. Groups coming to Rajasthan will experience real Indian culture from the major sights of Delhi; to the bustling markets of Jaipur; to the spiritual ambiance of holy lake town, Pushkar. This initial week of adventure serves as a team building experience.
