DFI Football boardingAbout the
The principle at the German Soccer Boarding School is: "You learn to play football by playing football!" The primary goal of education at DFI is to optimally and individually support the boarding students as well as our external players. At DFI, each player receives training tailored to their strengths and weaknesses four times a week in the morning thanks to a schedule designed to meet the needs of athletes. In the small field area, special emphasis is placed on clean technical execution with a high number of repetitions. The players receive permanent, targeted feedback and coaching from their trainers. In addition, our youngest players should already train as often as possible in "game-related" contexts so that they can also apply the techniques they have learned in the game. In the large field area, the technical foundation will be further maintained and expanded. In addition, individual and group tactical, position-specific, and athletic components take on importance. The second training session of the day takes place on the team compound. Usually at their own club, the DFI Bad Aibling e.V., or at the clubs from the region.
Focus of Study : Great emphasis is placed on versatility when training players at DFI. The highest premise for all DFI coaches is to challenge and encourage the player in order to minimize over- or under-challenging. The broader the technical and tactical education of the players, the better the decision making of the players in complex game situations and the easier they can adapt to tactical changes. Another important cornerstone in DFI training is that players learn to make their own decisions on the court, regardless of playing defense or offense.The goal is for players to learn the demands of the game in an age-appropriate way during their time at DFI Bad Aibling, so that they can independently find optimal solutions on the field in their future athletic careers.Individuality and teamwork are concepts that are promoted at the same time. Players learn proper group behavior and what it means to experience team spirit, which is instrumental in the development of young football players. These include, above all, teaching social and ethical values as well as demonstrating a positive culture around making mistakes. In this way, kids are encouraged to develop and demonstrate integrity as they grow into young adults. Training at DFI is characterized by the principle of fair play and respectful treatment of players, coaches, staff, the opponent, and the referee. All of this is only possible with a coaching team that has internalized this philosophy and lives it on the field every day. We also accompany talented youth off the pitch and on their way to their individual high school diploma, thus laying the foundation for a career on and off the pitch. The campus takes the societal demands for full-day, quality education and care very seriously. School is seen as a holistic living space, not just a half-day classroom.
Benefit, Goal of this course :
- PROFESSIONAL MAIN TRAINERS
To ensure that talented youth can develop optimally, we attach great importance to 100% professionalism, e.g. through a full-time coaching staff. From U12 to U19, all teams are trained by a full-time head coach, which is an absolutely unique feature in Germany.
- 10 X TRAINING PER WEEK
Because we take the students' athletic development just as seriously as their schooling, training is perfectly integrated into the school day. Up to 10 units per week, which are modified and adapted by the coaches to best meet players' needs (also with non-football content, such as yoga).
