A trial day was actually planned at the DJK Würmtal.
Now Clara Schöne has organized soccer training at home - with national players like Julian Weigl.

- Clara Schöne has a lot of time these weeks - involuntarily.
In addition to her studies, the former professional soccer player from Planegg actually works as an assistant trainer for the second women's team at FC Bayern Munich.
Although this plays in the 2nd Bundesliga, the partial lockdown affects them.
"We are amateur," explains Schöne.
And so currently only the eleven players from the youth national teams who are excluded from the club sports ban can train.
The additional free time has something positive for Clara Schöne.
This means that the 27-year-old, who had to end her career in the summer due to an injury, can devote herself more intensively to another sideline: At the very new Skillers Academy football school, she is the head of the girls' area.
“Skillers Sunday”: online trial day instead of on-site at the DJK Würmtal
With a free trial day in cooperation with the DJK Würmtal on Sunday, November 29th, Schöne would like to address the young women from the Würmtal in particular and arouse interest in the Skillers Academy and football in general.
Due to the lockdown, the event - unlike originally planned - will not take place on the premises of the DJK in Planegg, but purely digitally.
But that fits into the concept of the Skillers Academy anyway.
The football school was established in the spring during the first lockdown.
The idea of the two founders and former regional league players Matthias Strohmaier and Kevin Feucht: To offer young footballers a football-specific offer for training at home.
“Children don't just want to do fitness exercises at home, they want the ball on their feet,” says Clara Schöne.
Skillers Academy: Training in your own living room - live and on demand
Anyone who signs up for a fee at the football school will receive a starter package, the so-called “Skillers Box”.
Most important content: a stick with videos of training units and numerous technical exercises that children and young people can try out on their own in the living room or in the garden on an area of usually a maximum of 2x2 meters.
Schöne: "We'll show you how, the kids can do it." In addition, there is live training every week on the Internet.
Whole teams can also use the offer.
Schöne and Strohmaier still know each other from school when they attended the competitive sports class at the Theodolinden-Gymnasium in Munich.
“When you wanted to open a women's department at the Skillers Academy, he asked me if I wanted to do it,” says Schöne.
She wanted to - and has enjoyed it a lot ever since.
Bayernliga player Nikola Jelisic, who kicked the ball for the first time at SV Planegg-Krailling 20 years ago, is also part of the Skillers team.
Clara Schöne starts with a soccer school in the Würmtal - "where it all started"
The step of returning to the Würmtal with her new football school at the end of November is close to Clara Schöne's heart.
“I want to start where it all started for me, too,” says Planegger, who once learned to play football at the DJK.
Originally, a special training day should have taken place on site - only for girls.
Small groups and individual focus were considered.
Julian Weigl and Giulia Gwinn also take part on Sunday
The recent lockdown throws Schöne a spanner in the works.
Now “Skillers Sunday” only takes place on the screen, but for girls and boys.
In addition to a question and answer session with Clara Schöne, the program also includes professional tutorials by the multiple German national players Julian Weigl and Giulia Gwinn.
Up to 50 children and young people can take part in the free four-hour online trial day.
“The more, the better,” emphasizes Schöne.
The event is designed for eight to 14 year olds.

The 27-year-old ex-Bundesliga player hopes that this day will also provide experience for the entire football school.
Because the Skillers Academy wants to continue beyond “lockdown light” and the corona crisis.
After all, individual training is always possible and sensible, no restrictions are required, explains Schöne.
The existing or just starting social projects and collaborations with Arche, the Roland Berger Foundation and the African-German organization Amandla are to be continued.
Information about the trial event
“Skillers Sunday” will take place on Sunday, November 29th, via a live stream.
It starts at 10 a.m.
Registration and further information on the free trial training with Clara Schöne, Julian Weigl and Giulia Gwinn is available on the DJK Würmtal website.
