Wanderlust Exchange: Tennis coach internship

There is no boundary in sports and we believe sport can be one of the best ways to promote communication across nations and build friendship beyond nationalities and ages, through pure passion about sports.

What will you do? Assist in coaching tennis to children aged 4-12 years old, 20 hours per week (with 2 full days off each week)

What will you gain? You will stay with hospitable host families, have a personal experience of authentic Chinese life and pick up Chinese that the locals speak.

What's more, monthly cultural activities give you a closer look at Chinese culture and add more flavors of fun to your wonderful adventure in China!

So, if you are 18-35 years old, have 300+ hours of tennis playing experience, have childcare or related coaching experience and a secondary school diploma or higher and are in good health with a clean criminal record, then YOU are just the person we are looking for!
