News from the Pestalozzi Middle School

On March 20, 2026, the Würzburg FtK kids went to the Akon Arena. To be more precise, they started at the school, where all the children met up with the FtK teacher-coach team. They then took the streetcar to the stadium. The game was really exciting and there was something to eat for everyone during the half-time break. There was even an opportunity to buy some Würzburger Kickers fan merchandise. After the final whistle, the children were even able to take photos with the players and they were delighted! Afterwards, they took the streetcar back home. It was a great day out for everyone!

A sports workshop took place on July 10, 2025: Pool Ball. This is a combination of billiards and soccer, where you stand on a large billiard field and try to sink the other balls into the respective holes in the corners of the field with your foot and with the help of a ball. “We played against each other in different teams and above all had to use our passing accuracy and tactics while playing billiards. We all had a lot of fun!”

On May 13, 2025, the Würzburg FtK group took a trip to the nearby bookstore “Erlesen” in Grombühl and attended a reading by author Knut Krüger. The author began by telling the children a little about his profession and his life before reading from his book “Football for Everyone” to the pupils. The children then read excerpts from the book together and talked about the topics covered in the book. The pupils were allowed to ask the author questions again and again and at the end Knut Krüger asked the group a few tricky soccer quiz questions.
