At this point, SV Darmstadt 98 would like to thank all partner clubs and helpers for the great cooperation, as well as all children and parents for their active participation in the camps and also for the positive feedback afterwards!
The new camp year starts during the winter holidays in January with a camp in the Merck sports hall. Parallel to the camps in Darmstadt, there are also numerous camps at our partner clubs in the region and beyond the Hesse state borders.
In 2025, the children can once again expect a varied program with new forms of training. The plan includes:
– 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

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.

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.
