BSK youth on top – development, responsibility and quality

The BSK 1933 youth sector looks back on an intensive, well-founded, and sportingly pleasing year. With a clear stance, a deliberately chosen direction, and high care in daily work, the BSK pursues a path in the youth sector that combines development, responsibility, and quality.
Clear Role in Regional Structure
The BSK has consciously positioned itself in the youth sector. While Red Bull Salzburg Süd and the LAZ handle performance-oriented training in Pongau at the highest level, the BSK sees itself as a recreational sports training club.
The goal is to enable as many children as possible structured, age-appropriate, and value-based access to movement and sport. This role is clearly defined, regionally coordinated, and lived with conviction.
Breadth as Strength – Quality as Foundation
The BSK started the current year with very strong support and has cared for over 200 children in football and cheerleading areas throughout the season. Currently, over 180 children aged 5 to 14 are active in eight age groups – supplemented by cheerleading.
Around 35 training and movement sessions per week give children space to develop age-appropriately – with structure, heart, and clear orientation. Daily work follows clear development principles and puts the individual needs of the children at the center.

Social Responsibility & Personal Development
A key component of BSK 1933 youth work is the deliberate promotion of social skills and personal development. The club views youth work not only as sporting but also as a societal responsibility.
BSK regularly provides supplementary initiatives within teams that match children’s real-life situations and support their personality development.
An example was the multi-day anti-bullying seminar, implemented with KIA and Franz Zwerschina. Over three days, children were age-appropriately, practically, and with high involvement sensitized to topics like respect, cohesion, personal responsibility, and mutual appreciation.
Beyond the Club – Networking & Extra Movement
BSK sees youth work not in isolation but in interplay with regional offerings. It actively thinks beyond the club framework and seeks exchange and collaboration with other institutions.
Recently, multiple free movement sessions for children in school after-school care were held on site. These sessions aim to provide extra movement impulses, new access to sports and activity, and positive communal experiences – regardless of club membership.
These networks reflect BSK’s self-understanding of taking responsibility beyond its own scope and holistically supporting children.

Sporting Development from Continuous Effort

Despite the deliberate focus on breadth, movement, social learning, and enjoyment of sport, the BSK 1933 youth sector also shows positive sporting results.

• At the Steinbock Tournament, alongside FC Altenmarkt’s U8, only BSK’s U7 entered the winners’ list as the sole Pongau club.

Results at BSK are not viewed in isolation but as a byproduct of structured, continuous, and age-appropriate work. They confirm that a broad, value-oriented approach can coexist with sporting quality.

Community, Respect, and Uniqueness as Core Foundation

Formats like the Steinbock Tournament, currently spanning seven days and bringing together around 1,000 playing children, symbolize the BSK youth path. Such events provide high-quality sports offerings for regional children, promote encounters and community, and contribute positively to regional value creation.

At the center are community, enthusiasm, and reliability – supported by dedicated trainers, supervisors, parents, and numerous volunteer helpers who make this framework possible and bring it to life.

Diversity and Respectful Coexistence

BSK views the youth sector as a place of respectful interaction in a diverse society. Many children come from varied cultural, religious, and national backgrounds – a realistic reflection of today’s regional life.

BSK consciously and responsibly embraces this diversity. Within a clear and reliable framework, children learn early that uniqueness is possible when shared rules, mutual respect, and unifying values are lived. The focus lies not on differences but on common ground that enables cohesion, trust, and development.

Outlook

BSK will consistently continue its youth path: with clear structures, a strong social foundation, and the commitment to equally promote sporting training and personal development – responsibly, regionally rooted, and sustainable.
