– Program every day from 10am to 3:30pm
– Training twice a day with licensed youth trainers from SV 98
– individual support
– Acceptance of the DFB football badge
– Drinks + fruits + lunch included
– Complete football camp training equipment (shorts, socks and jersey) included
– Lily drinking bottle and much more.
Early care will also be offered again in 2025 for the camps in Darmstadt at the Merck Young Talent Training Center (8:30am – 10:00am).
During the Easter and summer holidays, SV 98 is once again offering two camps especially for goalkeepers for all enthusiastic kids. The goalkeeper camps take place in the first week of the Easter and summer holidays on the grounds of our partner club DJK-SSG Darmstadt. Under the direction of a goalkeeper trainer from the Lilien youth training center, participants can expect a week of pure goalkeeper training. The program includes two units a day in which the basic techniques are learned and consolidated and general goalkeeping skills are improved.
Three girls camps in 2025
After Merck Lilien football camps were held specifically for girls for the first time last year, the event will be repeated three times in 2025. An exclusive girls‘ camp is planned for the Easter, summer and autumn holidays on the grounds of the official cooperation partner for women’s and girls‘ football, the DJK-SSG Darmstadt. We look forward to welcoming all football-loving girls from the region.
