Lilien stars promote football talent: Camps in Texas inspires children!

In an exciting initiative to promote young talents, Martin Kowalewski, the managing director of the Lilien, to San Antonio, Texas traveled to the football camps on site. These camps are not only a piece of international cooperation, but also an important building block in the partnership between SV Darmstadt 98 and San Antonio FC, a club from the United Soccer League, which is now proud of the support of their partner city of Darmstadt. Around 40 children had the opportunity to train at the "SummerCamp" between 2nd and 6th June under the guidance of Bogdan Ficut and Vincent Prölß, two committed coaches of the lilies who have already brought a lot of experience with the camps in Darmstadt and the surrounding area.

But the matter has a deeper meaning: the cooperation aims at the intercultural exchange and promotion of young players. This exchange should not only promote football skills, but also facilitate social integration for disadvantaged young people. Kowalewski is optimistic and expects from the cooperation that both sides will learn and benefit a lot. In this collaboration, the focus is also on sports science, marketing and media, as also shows the positive feedback from Kowalewski, which underlines the advantages of this partnership.

a successful camp and other plans

The camp in the San Antonio, which gave young athletes the opportunity to learn from experienced trainers, was a complete success. The next stop of the program will take place between SVD Beaumont between June 9th and 13th, an association that was founded by German fans and at the same time represents a further starting point for the lilies. This shows how important the social aspects of football are and how they can contribute to the integration and promotion of cohesion.

These projects are part of a wider vision that goes beyond the purely sporting aspect. International youth encounters in sport, as they are also promoted by the German sports youth, not only train sporting skills, but also social skills, responsibility and self -confidence of young people. Arose after the Second World War, this area of informal education for children and adolescents still has a significant impact on identity formation and intercultural dialogue.

The advantages of international exchange are numerous: the sport can create initial contacts without language barriers, so that children and adolescents can get to know each other quickly and easily. This collaboration not only promises a good feeling, but also valuable starting points for child and youth welfare specialists who can network and exchange with experts from other countries.
