During the 2024-25 Christmas holidays, the Goalkeeping.com Academy set a new benchmark. For the first time, 20 goalkeeping camps took place in the largest cities in Germany and Austria. More than 600 keepers and over 120 goalkeeping coaches took part in this fantastic tour.

Winter Tour Part 1 - A successful start during the holidays
On December 27th and 28th, 2024, the starting signal was given for our 2024/2025 winter tour, which has already been a complete success! The first locations of our tour offered impressive numbers of participants and a motivating atmosphere.
For the third time, we successfully performed in three well-known locations. In the Westside Soccer Arena in Vienna, we welcomed almost 50 highly motivated participants who trained with full commitment. Our coaching team in the Soccerhalle Oberschleißheim (Munich), which again featured prominently ex-Bundesliga keeper Michael Hofmann, once again provided an intensive and professional training environment. And in the Kickfabrik Nuremberg, Steed Ray and his coaches were also able to accompany more than 30 committed goalkeepers on their sporting journey.

For the second time, we visited other locations that also impressed with impressive numbers. In the Soccerhalle Filderstadt near Stuttgart (under head coach André) and in the Soccerpark Taunus Hills (under the direction of our head coach Patrick Schuch), almost 45 goalkeepers from all over Baden-Württemberg and Hesse took the opportunity to further develop their goalkeeping skills during the Christmas holidays. Soccerworld Leipzig and Torfabrik Krefeld also confirmed their great appeal for our camps with a large number of participants.
For the first time, goalkeeping camps were held at six new locations , which were received very positively. We welcomed many new goalkeepers at Sportpark Freilassing, Kickerworld Berlin, Soccerking Bremen , Bolzarena Rostock, Sportpark Asten near Linz and Soccerworld Cologne . The response from participants and parents was consistently excellent. The combination of professional training, fun and the unique camp atmosphere made for unforgettable experiences.

Winter Tour Part II - Full House at the New Year's Camps
The start of the 2025 training year was traditionally marked by our popular New Year's camps , which took place on January 4th and 5th, 2025. As in previous years, all camps were fully booked this year, which once again underlines the goalkeepers' great interest and enthusiasm for our professional training. Our renewed visit to Allgäu, where we were guests at the Kaufbeuren Soccer Hall for the second time, was particularly pleasing. The excellent conditions on site and the high motivation of the participants made the camp a complete success.
In addition, we were able to expand our offering with six new intensive camps, which for the first time took place at different locations. In Hamburg, the young keepers trained under the direction of Justus-Goalkeepers founder Fabian Lucassen in the Öjendorf sports park, which with its modern equipment offered the perfect environment for our demanding training. In the Rummenigge soccer hall in Münster , committed participants and a completely new team of trainers and a pleasant atmosphere ensured two unforgettable days of training.
The Soccerpark Hannover and the Laola Soccerhalle in Kassel also proved to be excellent new hosts for our winter tour. The high demand and positive feedback show that these new locations are a valuable addition to our program. Another highlight was the camp in the Europaarena Karlsruhe , where we celebrated our premiere. Finally, the Soccerstar Arena Saarbrücken successfully joined our network, so that we were able to welcome numerous new goalkeeping talents there too.
Both the participants and their parents praised the professional organization, the varied training program and the individual support. Our team was particularly pleased to meet so many new faces and at the same time to meet already known goalkeeping talents again. Clickhere to watch the winter tour video on YouTube!

After the winter tour comes the Easter tour!
The winter tour has barely been successfully completed and we are already looking forward to the next big highlight: our goalkeeper intensive camps during the Easter holidays . On April 12th to 13th, 2025, we will start a new round of exciting goalkeeper camps and will once again be focusing on tried and tested as well as new locations.
A special highlight of this tour is our long-awaited return to Italy . We will be guests at USD Bressanone in Brixen, South Tyrol, for the fourth time. The previous goalkeeper camps in this wonderful region were always a great success and we are looking forward to working with numerous young talents again.
Tried and tested locations such as St. Pölten, Rosenheim and Speyer are also on the program again. These locations have established themselves as permanent fixtures on our tour in recent years and offer ideal conditions for intensive goalkeeping training.
It will be particularly exciting at the new locations that we have been able to include in our camp offer for the first time. In Nuremberg we will be guests at ASC Boxdorf and will be holding an intensive camp there for the first time. We will also be celebrating a premiere in Dassow , where we will be offering another highlight of our tour at SV Dassow . Another new destination is the sports facility of SpVGG Erfurt.
Registration for all Easter camps is already possible and, as always, demand is high. So if you want to be there during the Easter holidays, you should secure a place quickly. After the winter tour comes the Easter tour - be there and secure your place at one of our intensive camps. We look forward to seeing you!
