This Wednesday the IFA Youth Congress will take place virtually for the first time. Participants from all over the world will receive exciting information on current developments in fistball. IFA President Jörn Verleger and Secretary General Christoph Oberlehner will give an overview of the current activities of the IFA and fistball in general. One of the congress’ highlights is the presentation by Julia Govinden, CEO of United Through Sport (UTS). Julia Govinden will report on the current activities of UTS. UTS will organize an event which offers young people around the world the opportunity to get active, by uniting youth with different skills promoting unity in diversity, sport and education.

Uwe Schneider, Chairman of the IFA Youth Commission, and Roger Willen, IFA Development Director, will report on the current status of the Fistball Academy and the Fistball Development Programme.
The Fistball Academy will soon offer various training modules for beginners and advanced players for download. Especially the smaller or new fistball nations shall profit from the Academy as a platform where they can get tips and tricks for their own training. At the same time the modules are clearly arranged, didactically prepared and always consist of a theory script enriched with videos.

We would like to invite you to the IFA Youth Congress. The congress will take place as a virtual congress in form of a video conference
