Schwerin students cheer: final in Berlin for the hockey triumph!
Things were really busy recently at the SSC Schwerin hockey facility. This is where the school teams were determined for the highly coveted national final of “Youth Trains for the Olympics” in Berlin. This event is not only a sporting competition, but also a true melting pot for team spirit and camaraderie, as emphasized by the German Hockey Association (DHB), which acts as the umbrella organization for field and indoor hockey in Germany and brings together numerous clubs and regional associations under its roof. School hockey plays a central role in this because it can be played regardless of body size and stature, which makes it particularly attractive for school sports.
For the girls, the Fridericianum Gymnasium team demonstrated that they not only know how to kick, but also have nerves of steel. In the exciting final, they prevailed in a penalty shootout against the girls from Torgelow Castle High School. After a close first leg that ended 2-1 for Fridericianum, they were defeated 1-2 in the second leg. But the decision finally came in the penalty shootout, which they won 6:4. Goalkeeper Milla Dangers particularly stood out, playing a crucial role despite her main sport being handball. The goal scorers in the decisive shootout were Clara von Gadow, Anna Altmayer and Frieda Ritter.
Successful boys team
The boys from the Niels Stensen School also managed to qualify for the national final. In their encounters, they managed to defeat the Fridericianum in both games: the first leg ended 2-0 and the second leg 3-1 in favor of the Niels Stensen School. Especially since the team has a remarkable four players who come into the race with no club experience. Captain Tico Hollmeier and sports teacher Christopher Israel could hardly contain their celebration after the victory. The motto still applies to both teams: “Being there is everything,” and so the journey to Berlin is already a great success.
Hockey is not only played competitively, but also has a place in lessons and in working groups. It requires simple materials like sports gear and a few hockey sticks - so it's not too expensive for schools to get started. The opportunity to play this together with girls and boys promotes team spirit and community, which is impressively demonstrated during the tournaments, as jugendtrainiert.de explains.
The event and the associated achievements are not only a reason to celebrate, but also an excellent opportunity for students to make new friends, gain valuable experience and of course have a lot of fun. The big finale in Berlin is already waiting for the talented teams and we are excited to see what they will achieve there!
“Youth training for the Olympics” and the passionate practice of hockey impressively show that the focus is not only on competition, but also on promoting values such as team spirit and fair play. The general conditions for school hockey form an optimal basis for discovering talented players in the future.
