Children and youth services are committed to fighting racism and exclusion
Under the motto "Give racism no chance – We stand for diversity, tolerance and respect," the annual indoor soccer tournament of the Reinheim Children's and Youth Development Association took place in the Georgenhausen/Zeilhard sports hall. Young people aged 9 to 14 played in four teams, not only for goals and points, but above all to send a clear social message.
First place went to the FCO Albert Einstein, followed by JUZE Alsbach, Aluminium FC / Reinheim , and Fair Play Kickers Roßdorfteams FCO Albert Einstein and Fair Play Kickers Roßdorf, who won the Fair Play award and received certificates.
Prominent support for a clear message
A particular highlight was the participation of Marco Sailer, former player of SV Darmstadt 98, who, together with Dr. Michael Vollmer, chairman of the working group for youth, read a greeting from Sebastian Rode (Eintracht Frankfurt). Rode, ambassador of the Hessian State Prevention Council, emphasized:
"There must be no place for racism, hate speech and exclusion in our society."
The tournament was directed by Günter Six and junior referee Roben . Further support came from the Reinheim Youth Forum, where Josefine and Konrad organized a raffle. Prizes included a signed SV 98 football, a Sebastian Rode jersey , and an Eintracht Frankfurt jersey.
The event was narrated by Louis , while the organizing team of Jessy and Tim provided refreshments Silas, also from the youth center, aid services were provided by the German Red Cross (DRK) Georgenhausen branch and its dedicated youth group.
