Teamwork & Respect

Welcome to the Fußballjugend

At MTV 1881 Ingolstadt, promoting young talent is at the heart of our club work. With experienced coaches and modern training methods, we develop not only football skills but also important values like team spirit, respect and fair play.

Our goal is to give every child and young person the opportunity to develop their potential and experience joy in football - regardless of their performance level.

Our Goals & Philosophy

We pursue holistic development that encompasses technical, tactical, athletic and mental aspects.

Return to Tradition & Identity

MTV 1881 was the leading club in Ingolstadt for decades and stood for successful, passionate football. In 2004, the rights were transferred to FC Ingolstadt – since then the football landscape has changed. We want to regain our former strength as an independent traditional club by building a performance-oriented but home-rooted youth department.

Youth Development as Foundation

The goal is to train our own players for the future – not only for our men's teams, but also as a springboard to higher leagues. We focus on playful development over short-term success – technique, creativity and courage with the ball are more important than pure results. Clear consistency: From the youngest (Bambini) to U19, a common thread should be felt in the training.

Holistic Development

We promote not only the athletic but also the personal development of our children and youth. Values like team spirit, respect, discipline and fair play are equal training goals. Players should learn to take responsibility – on and off the field.

Playing Philosophy & Athletic Profile

We want to develop a pressing-oriented, active game where our teams put the opponent under pressure and play confidently. Courage with ball possession, quick switching moments and collective defending characterize our playing style. All teams orient themselves to common playing principles that are implemented age-appropriately.

Community & Club Culture

MTV stands for tradition, unity and passion. The club should again become a place where children, parents and coaches feel at home. Joint events, tournaments and celebrations strengthen identification with the club.

Long-term Vision

MTV should become a leading address in Ingolstadt youth football again in the medium term. We want to keep more children in the club by combining top training with fun and community.
