Children and young people hold a special place with us. That may sound like a cliché … words can sound lovely and still stay empty. Putting them into practice – that's what someone has to show you first.
If you take on the FRVS 1898 experiment as a child or a teenager, you'll find out how to make the best part of your day an active one. We don't even talk about youth work – although being a match for all those young characters, in the truest sense of the word, can be a rewarding challenge. We see it more as looking out for each other. We're after fun together, and that makes us strong and motivated together.
You get the chance to develop freely, the way you want to. We offer real freedom straight away, which of course comes with a little responsibility: towards yourself and towards others. But don't worry – we'll support you in developing your skills and your commitment so that you can have as much fun as possible.
Taking on challenges together, encouraging exercise and health, adventure and experiencing nature, and shaping youth camps together – strenuous, exciting and chilled alike – that's our idea. Fancy joining in?
We, the youth section of the FRVS, are clearly the more active ;-) and of course the younger part of the rowers and canoeists. We train often, but it never gets boring here. In this club in particular I think it's worth mentioning how strong the sense of togetherness is within the youth section too. On touring trips that bond grows even stronger: you quickly notice that we depend on one another and are all in the same boat. If you want to experience this incredible atmosphere, just come along to a training session – it's easy …
We go on quite a few outings. So that we're not always doing one and the same sport, we get out of our usual surroundings. We've been to climbing parks, taken part in the YOU FM roadshow, we happily spend a whole night on a film marathon and we've made it to the cinema too. More than anything, it lets us get to know each other outside everyday club life. And that pays off – for our crew boats, which know who they can rely on, and for the solo competitors, who very much belong as well. It turns us into a community, a club youth section.
For some years now we have been offering rowers and canoeists joint indoor training between the autumn and Easter holidays, in the sports hall of the Textorschule in Sachsenhausen. Even when it gets tough, what sets this training apart is above all its variety. Because the young people get involved and like to take a session themselves, completely new approaches turn up: basketball, dance technique, handball, obstacle courses, volleyball, jumpstyle, running and sprint drills, rope skipping, gymnastics. What matters most, though, is having fun – so we finish every session with a game.
