The incident throws a light on a worrying problem: violence in youth sports. In the context of the current events, the Konstanz city sports association organizes a lecture on violent arguments in sport in cooperation with the Mentor Foundation and the Office for Education and Sport. The occasion was an attack by a play server on a youthful referee in a C-youth friendship game in Litzelstetten.

Martin Müller, chairman of the city sports association, emphasizes that it is not just a challenge for football. He himself witnessed violence in sports during his sporting career and underlines the need to work together to address the aggressiveness of parents and supervisors. A keynote speech on July 4, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. on the subject should provide aids for dealing with aggressive behavior in sports, followed by free workshops that are supported by the LAGO. Registrations for the lecture are required by July 3 at the latest.

The incidents in Aue and the upcoming events in Constance underline the urgent need to tackle violence in sport and promote non -violent solutions in order to create a safe environment for all young athletes.
