Football afternoon in Seefeld

This year again, the annual JumpandReach for friends took place in the Olympic region Seefeld, with the upcoming Nordic World Ski Championship making it a special occasion.

On this Saturday afternoon, directly in front of the championship ski jump in Seefeld, the focus was on the kids of the JumpandReach youth development. After the welcoming, the action started immediately with a two vs. two tournament in the Energie AG football cage. Besides the kids competing against each other, they also had the opportunity to step up against their idols around Stefan Kraft and Michael Hayböck. Like every year, our athletes gladly took the opportunity to be part of the event. Apart from the football cage, there were many other attractions, like a penalty shootout, a juggling competition and a crossbar challenge, where the kids proved their skills against each other and the JaR athletes. At the following show training of the goalkeepers of the Tyrolian football academy, the little ones could get an insight into the impressive training routines of professional keepers. The jump exercises of our “goalkeeper coaches” Michi Hayböck and Stefan Kraft left the kids astonished.

The final seven vs. seven match with the whole JumpandReach family and an amazing atmosphere from the outside, gave the kids another chance to be on the pitch with their idols. Of course in the end everybody had the opportunity to get a selfie or an autograph with their stars.

All in all it was a really successful event again for kids and athletes that will stay in their minds for quite some time.
