Vrej Zakaryan: New chairman of the district youth committee in Soest!

Soest, Deutschland - The future of youth football in the FLVW district of Soest looks promising. Vrej Zakaryan, who has taken over the management of the district youth committee (KJA) since March 2025, brings a breath of fresh air to youth work. The 51-year-old, who lives in Hamm-Wambeln and is a triple family man, follows Erich Kreyenbrink, who successfully held the office for many years. Zakaryan's first months in the new office were characterized by a positive response and an intact team, which made its familiarization noticeably easier, such as soester-anzeiger.de reported.

"Fun and fair play come first with me," emphasizes Zakaryan and plans to distribute the tasks in the KJA in the team in order to include the clubs more into planning. An important event is already clear: On August 12, 2025, the season day for youth football in the Soest district will take place, followed by further season days for various age groups between 27 and 29 August 2025.

the course for the future

At the recent association youth day of the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia (FLVW), Harald Ollech was re-elected for his fourth term as chairman of the Association Youth Committee (VJA). VJA plans to break new ways in youth football in order to meet the requirements of modern times. This includes flexible game days and kick -off times as well as the introduction of qualification rounds in all age groups at the district level. The motto of the upcoming legislative period is: "Be brave! Use opportunities! Design the future!" lippe-kick.de

This new approach could have a positive effect on youth work in Soest, which, despite a high level of participation in the G, F and E juniors in the higher age groups, shows a declining tendency. Zakaryan is optimistic that the increased integration of the clubs and the organization of separate relay days for every age group can increase the exchange and motivation.

Support for coaches

Another aspect that can strengthen the support of youth work are funding opportunities for coaches. For example, the Badische Sportbund Freiburg has announced grants of up to 500 euros for licensed coaches in clubs. This applies regardless of the type of coaching license - whether C or B. Such measures could help improve the qualifications of the trainers and bring more committed to youth work. In addition, part-time trainers in non-profit sports clubs can earn up to 2,400 euros annually without having to pay taxes or social security contributions, as can be seen on sbfv.de.

With a clear focus on teamwork, fun and a comprehensive support for coaches, youth football work in the Soest district goes into a new era. Zakaryan seems to have a good hand to set the course for a blooming future.
