Calling All Pitchers, Catchers, and Leaders: Your softball journey doesn’t have to end with the final out of your collegiate season. Imagine using your hard-earned skills to ignite that same spark of passion in a new generation, all while living and exploring one of the most breathtaking islands on Earth. The Bohol Coconuts Volunteer Abroad Program is your invitation to transform your expertise into impact, building unforgettable friendships with young Filipino girls and discovering the natural wonders of Bohol.
Forge Bonds That Transcend Borders
This is not a typical volunteer trip. This is a deep cultural exchange centered around the universal language of sport. As a coach and mentor, you will work directly with our girls’ softball programs, from eager beginners to aspiring athletes. The connection you’ll build is the program’s heart and soul. You’ll be more than a coach; you’ll become a “Ate” (big sister)—a role model, a cheerleader, and a friend. The smiles of understanding when you teach a new pitch, the shared celebration after a great play, and the quiet moments of encouragement create a powerful, two-way bond. You’re not just giving lessons; you’re sharing your story and becoming part of theirs, creating a sisterhood that stretches from your home field to the tropics.
Explore Your Dream Backdrop: Bohol Awaits
When you’re not on the diamond, an island paradise awaits your exploration. Bohol is a showcase of natural wonders where your downtime becomes an adventure. Paddle down the serene Loboc River, stand in awe of the iconic Chocolate Hills, and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Panglao Island. Our program is designed to give you ample time to recharge, explore, and experience the incredible beauty and warm hospitality that makes the Philippines so special.
Bring Your Teammate—Double the Impact, Double the Fun!
Everything is better with your best friend or former teammate by your side. We highly recommend signing up with a companion. You’ll have a built-in support system, a familiar face to share the “pinch-me” moments, and a partner to co-lead drills. The dynamic you bring as a duo—especially as a battery of a Pitcher and Catcher—is invaluable. Coaching together allows you to play off each other’s strengths, provide comprehensive training, and create an even more supportive and fun environment for the girls. Share this life-changing experience with someone who speaks your language, both on and off the field.
We Especially Need You: Pitchers & Catchers!
The heart of any great softball team lies in the battery. We are actively seeking experienced pitchers and catchers to provide the specialized, high-level training that can truly elevate our programs. Your ability to teach proper mechanics, pitch calling, game strategy, and the unique mental toughness of these positions is a gift that can change an athlete’s trajectory. Your specialized skills are in high demand and will leave a lasting legacy on our players.
