A successful debut: the first KEEPERbattle Kids in Germany
On Saturday, 30 May 2026, the first KEEPERbattle Kids in Germany was successfully held. Thirty-five young goalkeepers from two countries, Germany and Austria, took up the challenge across three age groups at the TSV Eintracht Karlsfeld sports park near Munich. The event was organised on site by the Adi Music Goalkeeper School. On three courts running in parallel, the focus was on reflexes, courage and determination.
Goalkeeper versus goalkeeper, offence versus defence. That is exactly what KEEPERbattle is all about. Lots of goals, loud cheering, genuine tears and, above all, plenty of fair play. Even the youngest keepers showed that, as individual athletes, goalkeepers can take full responsibility.
A young final, a clear message
Court 3 provided the highlight of the day in the Young Stars age group (born in 2015/16). Vincent Probst marched through the competition without a single defeat and secured a clear 5-0 victory over Elias Lutsch in the final. And there’s a special twist to this: Lutsch is one of the youngest goalkeepers in the entire tournament, born in June 2016. Battling his way through to the final against older opponents – that’s the true KEEPERbattle spirit.
