In our school children’s groups, the children train in mixed age groups. This has the advantage that the younger children can learn from the older ones and take their lead from them. The older children act as role models in their respective roles.

In order to do justice to the respective level of performance and physical ability and to ensure adequate training supervision, two teachers/trainers are usually present during the training sessions. The children are divided into exercise groups according to their experience. The change from school children to young people takes place “gradually”. This means that older children are given the opportunity to switch to the youth training for a few weeks and still participate in the children’s training at the same time. In this way, they have the security of what they are used to and can first try out a new role as a “youth”. They determine the pace of the transition themselves.
