"Kick-off with Stani" down to final five

On October 22nd, to mark the 10th anniversary of the “Kick-off Life” programme, the winning teams will be announced. Its reward: a training session with Hoffenheim manager Holger Stanislawski. Youth teams interested in applying were asked to submit a short written piece about why they were deserving of a training session with Stani. Now that the final five teams have been chosen, they will now have the opportunity to create a small video outlining their ideas to the audience, which will be present on the 22nd. The audience will then have the final say on who wins.

After intensive discussion and deliberation, Holger Stanislawski, Matthias Born (Director , “Kick-off Life“), Kristina Kober (1899 Ladies), Otmar Rösch (Assistant Coach, U23s), Kai Herdling (Captain, U23s) and Ralf Zwanziger (St.Leon Rot Football Development Centre for Girls) agreed on the following five teams:
