Ready for world-class tennis at the Rothenbaum? We're once again looking for tennis-crazy kids, parents, and youth leaders for our fan block project! Apply now, cheer on the players at the top of your lungs, and create an unforgettable atmosphere in the stands.
PROCEDURE
- Each participating club will be assigned a group consisting of ten children and young people (aged 6–16) and one chaperone, along with two players. The group will receive free access to all matches involving these players. Equipped with matching T-shirts, snacks, and giveaways, it will be the children's task to actively and vocally support their assigned stars from the stands. Fair play is a given.
- A total of 32 players will be taking part this year. As each fan block team will be assigned two players, there are a maximum of 16 places available. Places will be allocated on a „first come, first serve“ basis. So, secure your place in the stands immediately. For the fan block experience to take place, a minimum of 8 teams must be on board.
- Your fan block will have access to the separate area on centre court for as long as both your players are in the tournament. This means: in the best-case scenario, you could be looking at up to seven days of world-class tennis in a row!
- As your presence is required at every match your stars play, the project requires a good deal of organisation. The good news: you can rotate within your team of ten! This way, the children and young people can take turns to calmly navigate any time constraints.
- If the assigned player is scheduled to play on centre court, the fan group is given access to a special block. In addition, a child is drawn by lot before the match to be given access to the players' centre and allowed to run onto the court with the respective player.
- All participating fan groups will be invited to the final. In addition, each team member may bring up to two guests. Each guest will receive a discount of 50% on a ticket in the relevant category.
- During the tournament week, our „Children for Champions“ team will be watching and judging how well you support your players. The best fan block will receive a prize.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
- Only tennis clubs are authorised to participate (no school classes).
- Only children and young people between the ages of 6 and 16 may take part.
- As a rule, there should be ten kids and one carer per fan block; in justified exceptional cases, however, there may also be six kids and two carers.
- During the fan block's stay at the facility, the chaperones are responsible as supervisors. They must be at least 18 years old.
- The fan blocks only get free access for as long as their players are active in the individual competition, which means that if both players are eliminated, there is no more free access.
- Access applies to specially designated seating blocks on the centre court or the side courts.
- Posters and fan paraphernalia should be made and brought along for cheering.
- All kids and youngsters will be provided with a T-shirt. This should always be worn on the tournament grounds.
- A one-off participation fee of €99.00 (incl. VAT) is payable per fan block (to be invoiced by MatchMaker Sports GmbH). This is a fee to cover the costs incurred by our "Children for Champions" project team on a pro rata basis.
