SV Ihrlerstein and Essing: Football marriage for the district league started!

In an exciting development for local football, SV Ihrlerstein and Sportfreunde Essing decided to bundle their strength and found a syndicate. This connection is intended to have participation in the district league in particular in the men's area, which opens up an exciting perspective for both clubs. Those responsible have set youth work for years and have worked out the details of the collaboration in intensive discussions since this winter. Andreas Meier from SV Ihrlerstein emphasizes that there were regular dialogues between the two clubs that should create the basis for this alliance. Florian Schäffer from Sportfreunde Essing also emphasizes the role of football youth as a decisive factor for the merger. The early information to the previous partner ATSV Kelheim II shows that everything was well organized.

An important step in this new era is Christopher Kiendl's obligation as a coach of the first men's team. The 25-year-old sees great potential in the combination of experienced players and young talents. "We want to set up two competitive teams that are strong both in the first and the second row and have enough players," explains Kiendl. In order to promote the integration of young players, the SV Ihrlerstein has already taken some talents to the students this season, such as 19-year-old Nico Schlagbauer and 18-year-old Johannes Deufel. This measure corresponds to the overarching goal of integrating the youth into the association and gaining a foothold in the district league in the long run.

New coaching team and fresh perspectives

The change of coach has already borne its first fruits. Ralf Karl ended his work at SV Ihrlerstein at the end of this season, and the club management has great expectations of the new man on the sidelines, Christopher Kiendl. The association relies on attractive and successful football, which Kiendl is supposed to promote with his experience from the youth performance center of the SpVgg Landshut. The 41-year-old Ludwig Mederer also takes responsibility for the second team, which represents another component in the strategy to integrate the youth players into the club in the long term.

Just in time for the start of training on June 18, which is celebrated with a grill party, the preparations are in full swing. The first joint test kick will take place on June 22nd against TSV Oberisling, in which the newly formed community will first compete against each other on the square. The responsible persons of both clubs have already scheduled a photo shoot to present the new syndicate to the media.

The future of football in Germany

The current membership numbers of the German Football Association (DFB) also give rise to joy. More than 7.7 million people are organized in over 24,000 football clubs, and the number of active players shows a positive trend. The DFB reports an increase in the number of members by 4.7 percent compared to the previous season. Particularly noteworthy is the growth among the young players and girls who enrich the sport. These positive messages are also reflected in the hope that the new cooperation, such as between SV Ihrlerstein and Sportfreunde Essing, will contribute to strengthening regional football.

The integration of young talents and the training of coaches are very important, as the DFB shows with more than 19,000 successfully completed trainer training. A good framework for youth work, in which the new syndicate wants to find its fresh perspective and its place.
