You will be quite active on this sports volunteer project, so we recommend that you are reasonably fit and healthy to participate. Please remember to be respectful and considerate if you wish to suggest any improvements, or new ideas that you feel would benefit the project. Local project staff may have different cultural expectations and values to you and yours are not necessarily right. Things may run to Africa time, which can be decidedly laid back, but learn to relax a little and you may find you enjoy the difference in pace. The project managers have significant experience at managing local project relationships, so ask for their advice if you are unsure about something and please listen to it.

Minimum age is 18. There is no maximum age, as long as you are fit and healthy enough to participate in project activities.
