The power of sport

Using the power of sport, we promote physical and mental health, and strengthen the social skills of displaced children ages 5-to-15, educating them to become culturally and socially competent leaders.

Our Mission

We promote the integration of children with refugee backgrounds in German society by developing social skills, physical, and mental health of all children. We have tournaments in the fall, winter, spring and summer where all of our teams come together to compete against each other to have fun. We are:

Educating the youth to become culturally and socially competent leaders.
Using diverse team sport events and consistent training sessions to help support the development of kids’ social skills and promote their physical and mental health.
Offering diverse learning experiences for parents to create more culturally positive experiences for children.

Programs

Youth Football

In our first year, we established many football sports courses throughout the city of Hamburg. Through these sports courses, we managed to establish a youth community football league. We are fully insured and include 500 kids within our program free of charge.

The teams within our league are all from different areas and play in season games, playoffs, and friendly tournaments.

We have seasonal schedules for the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. We include children from displaced backgrounds and non-displaced backgrounds in our sports courses. Stay tuned for our scheduled releases.

100%

of our funding goes to our children for equipment, transportation, and trainer costs

500 Kids

We have enrolled over 500 children since 2021

Ironman

We deliver events for our kids surrounding our cooperation partner Ironman. We serve as the charity partner through which Ironman delivers social initiatives within Germany.

There are many global initiatives to diversify the sport of triathlon. We are honored to participate in implementing diverse youth triathlon events in Hamburg. We plan to expand and believe our long-term partnership with Ironman will help us reach our goals.

We will announce our Spring and Summer offerings in the Winter season.

Youth Basketball

In our second year, we are expanding our sports offerings. We offer 3 v. 3 basketball training sessions and plan on having our first tournament in the Winter of 2022. Stay tuned for our scheduling releases.

We love to build communities that are inclusive of as many interests and passions within the field of sport as possible. We believe sport brings people together and can be a key to engaging people in other services.

Feel free to reach out if you are interested in collaborating and helping us to deliver sports offerings that bring people together from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

Trainer Growth

We are constantly looking for opportunities to grow our trainers' technical and pedagogical knowledge.

Studies show that a key factor behind successfully integrating people is the representation of diverse leaders and teachers within communities. The background of our trainers provides these types of leaders in communities throughout Hamburg.

One of our newest partners FC Saint Pauli has committed to providing instructional knowledge and training clinics for our trainers.

92%

of our coaches were refugees themselves

27 coaches

We have provided 27 paid coaching opportunities for displaced persons
