Supporting programme

Fun & action off the pitch

There will be plenty of variety off the pitch. Test your skills at our BALLFREUNDE play stations! While you can perform as a team on the pitch, we will also test your individual skills at our BALLFREUNDE game stations. How hard is your shot? How good is your aim? The goal-throwing speed machine, handball darts, the goal wall, bubble soccer and more are waiting for you.

Catering

Various catering options to choose from

Half board is (usually) already included in the tournament package. Breakfast and dinner are therefore provided. During the day, you can buy various food and beverages at the tournament venue at fair prices. So you don't have to worry about food at all.

Care is always taken to ensure that vegetarians, vegans and Muslims have appropriate options so that everyone gets their money's worth. You can inform us of any food intolerances when booking so that we can take these into account.

FAQs

Good to know

Is there a maximum number of players?

You can take as many players as you want. It would be a shame if some had to stay at home for such a tournament.

Arrival & mobility on site

The prices do not include travel. We recommend that you also are mobile at the tournament, as we cannot offer a shuttle service from the accommodation to the tournament. If you don't have a car, we would be happy to make you an offer for traveling by bus or train.

Do we have to take care of food?

We offer almost all accommodations with half board, so you will be well taken care of in the morning and in the evening. So that you are also taken care of at lunchtime, you will find various food trucks on site for a small snack in between.

Can I participate with more than one team or can other teams from my club also take part?

If we still have free places, we would be very happy if you made our special tournament an end-of-season trip for the whole club. You can of course speak to your coaching colleagues and pass this information on to them.

Is there a fixed registration deadline for the individual tournaments?

There is no fixed registration deadline, but we recommend that you start planning as soon as possible, as many tournaments are booked out early. We are also happy to reserve a starting place for you for a desired period.

Does the number of participants have to be determined when registering?

In order to offer you maximum flexibility, you can change your number of participants free of charge 10 weeks before the tournament - the number can therefore be adjusted again without any problems. In order to cover sickness-related absences, however, a private travel insurance is advisable.

Can parents and companions come with us?

Parents or siblings are welcome to come to the tournament with you. The tournament is even more fun with the right fan club. Of course we will also accommodate you all in the same accommodation, as you want to experience the tournament together.

You can request information about the respective tournament via various channels. Give us a call, send us an email or simply write to us via WhatsApp. Alternatively, we can present the tournament to you and your fellow coaches in a video presentation.
