Intensive training days: U17/U20 juniors of the FCN im Kulm

Haidenaab/Neustadt am Kulm. The U17/U20 juniors of the 1st FC Nürnberg have prepared intensively for the upcoming season this week and again elected the region as a location. After the successful training camp last year, they returned to learn new skills and strengthen the team spirit. "If you like it, you would like to come back," said coach Joschka Hobitz and underlined the positive atmosphere that the team felt in this area.

The players were housed in Haidenaab during the training camp, and their training sessions took place in the Kleemier Stadium of the SpVgg Neustadt am Kulm. Under the midsummer temperatures from Monday to Thursday, the U20 players were able to improve their fitness and technology before the U17 took over on Thursday and continued to train intensely until Sunday.

intensive units and team spirit

The training camp offered the team the opportunity to work on various technical and tactical exercises. Team education was also in the foreground. Trainer Hobitz emphasized the importance of cohesion within the group, which is just as essential for him as the sporting progress: "We worked together a lot together and built up team spirit," he said. These aspects are particularly important to prepare the players for the upcoming challenges.

A special event in the training camp was the test game last Saturday against the juniors of RB Leipzig. Despite the 0-2 defeat, the team from Nuremberg held well in the first half and showed that they would not simply result. Leipzig, which was considered physically superior, scored the first goal through a remarkable long -range shot. In the second half, the Nuremberg women were able to build up intensively and won some promising opportunities, but failed due to the strong defense of the guests.

changes in the league

With the dissolving of the junior Bundesliga, the U17 juniors have to face a new challenge this season: they are now competing against boys in the district league. Trainer Hobitz commented on this change: "Of course that's a shame, because the girls were always happy to travel to the away games with the club bus." Despite this new reality, the players are motivated to face their challenges and continue to do their best.

A highlight of the training camp was the opportunity for young talents to be presented with the 1st FC Nürnberg. Hobitz emphasized that the team is well networked and that many talented players from different regions come into view. Players like the captain Martha Bittner are a good example of the career opportunities that are offered by commitment and talent. After she started at the DJK Stopfenheim and drew attention to the Bavarian selection team, she was finally able to make the leap to the 1st FC Nürnberg.

Despite the opponent's performance, coach Hobitz was satisfied after the test game. "Overall, I am satisfied with the stand in preparation," he said, referring to the need to improve the exploitation of opportunities in the coming weeks. The intensive exchange during the training camp and the test game gave the juniors valuable insights and experiences to start the new season strengthened.

a positive echo of the hosts

The responsible persons of the SpVgg Neustadt am Kulm also expressed their satisfaction with the interaction with the 1. FC Nürnberg. "Definitely one of the highlights of the year for our club," was read in a statement. The fact that the club's own referees were allowed to lead the test game is emphasized as a further plus. The anticipation for upcoming inquiries from the club managers is obviously great, and it remains to be seen whether a repetition will be possible next year.

The importance of training camps in youth football

training camps play a crucial role in youth football, especially for the development of talents. They not only offer the opportunity to intensify the technical and tactical training, but also to strengthen the team spirit. These framework conditions help the players develop in a simulated competition environment. Physical training, combined with social activities, promotes cohesion within the team.

Together with the training under professional conditions, players can benefit from exchange with their trainers inside and experienced athlete inside. An impressive example of the success of such programs are the numerous players who made the leap into professional football after a similar training camp.

Current challenges in youth football

The dissolution of the junior Bundesliga has changed the framework for the development of young talents. Many players who previously played in a high -class league must now prove themselves in a lower league. This change can affect motivation and competition within the teams. In the district league to play against young teams, new challenges offers, but can also be frustrating for players who are used to a different competition level.

In addition, many clubs, including the 1. FC Nürnberg, experience financial difficulties. In the current economic situation, support from sponsors is often inadequate, which has an impact on training conditions, travel and youth promotion. These challenges make it difficult for the clubs to promote talents sustainably and to ensure the attractiveness of women's football.

perspectives for young talents

The opportunity to apply from the 1. FC Nürnberg is attractive for many very young players. The support from scouts and trainers who have the talents from different regions in mind shows that there are certainly opportunities to get into professional football. Players like Martha Bittner are a good example of this, because they illustrate that a positive development through commitment and talent is possible.

Those responsible in the club are working on focusing not only the sporting but also the personal development of the players. This is achieved in particular through individual training plans and regular feedback talks. Such measures are intended to ensure that the young athletes can grow not only in football, but also as personalities.
