A Family Experience with Joy and Applause
The focus is on a small field tournament for kindergartens and a football tournament for elementary schools from the northern area of Bochum. Children who do not participate actively are also warmly invited. This makes the day an open family experience full of children's laughter, movement, and shared time.

Child-Friendly, Age-Appropriate, and Full of Learning Fun
The Children's Football Promotion Day has a clear goal: to inspire children for football and to provide them with an age-appropriate introduction to the sport. Short games, clear processes, and a playful approach enhance motor skills, team spirit, and self-confidence. Children's football in Germany focuses precisely on this child-friendly development with fun, positive experiences, and movement.
