Children and young people between the ages of six and 19 can now immerse themselves in the sport of American football in Thun. The NLA club Thun Tigers is organizing a youth camp. This is intended to appeal directly to young people, said those responsible in response to a query from neo1.
“We have great relationships with America and have been able to organize coaches from there and from Europe,” says Martin Schweizer, who helps with the Thun Tigers’ youth team and the club in general. “The children who already have experience in the sport should be able to develop further. Those who have never had contact with American football should gain their first experiences.” The youth camp is being held in collaboration with the Thun holiday pass. No special requirements or knowledge are required for the children and young people. “It’s training for everyone,” Schweizer continues. Like everywhere else, the National League A club from Thun is also dependent on young talent. “We have a lot of big competition here with football, ice hockey, handball and floorball. It’s about showing ourselves.” The youth camp of the American football club Thun Tigers starts at 10 a.m. and lasts until 4 p.m.
