Football love: A holiday camp full of fun

Intensive technique training

Juggling, passing, volleying, dribbling and crossing – the technique training had it all. In the tournaments and at the Jahn diploma, the children were able to show off their newly learned skills. “I enjoy everything, especially winning,” laughs Moritz. “And now I can even shoot with my left foot,” the 7-year-old enthuses. Leopold, the youngest camp participant at 6, has “learned a double pass with a bench.”

Nevertheless, despite all the newly acquired playing skills, one thing should not be lost sight of: “Fair play is the most important thing,” says youth coach Konrad, who himself referees on the pitch several times a week. “I’ve taught the children that it’s not the best player who wins, but the most intelligent one, because that’s who runs the game.” And if you sometimes don’t win, Theresa has a very special method for not getting frustrated: “The more goals you concede, the less self-confidence you have,” she is sure. “I really like to win, but when I do, I don’t win by so many goals, because I know how it feels for the others when you lose 10-0.”
