Tennis is one of the many sports practiced in Ecuador, which requires intelligence, thought and fitness. This volunteer experience will allow the participant to work as an assistant coach at a tennis club in the heart of Quito. The assistant will help the players to improve their tennis skills, physical abilities, fitness and coordination. You will also be involved in playing games.
