While everyone watches football, your striker plays it in Hamburg.
Our Thanksgiving group is almost complete. To balance the team we’re looking for strikers, so we’re offering the remaining spots at a last-minute price that includes the flight from New York. Same camp, same coaches, same sports hostel.
Real German soccer
Daily sessions with UEFA-licensed TM17pro coaches, plus training with local youth teams at our Hamburg partner clubs. Individual feedback every session.
A sports hostel
A top sports hostel with fields, a gym and table tennis right on site. Small group, three meals a day, 24/7 supervision by our staff.
A real Thanksgiving
A Thanksgiving party in the clubhouse of SC Poppenbüttel, cooked by Pit, who has cooked for Arsenal’s team. Plus the start of Hamburg’s Christmas markets.
A top sports hostel. It’s all about training.
The group stays at YES! (Youth, Education & Sport), a sports hostel in Hamburg-Rahlstedt, home of our partner club SC Rahlstedt. The fields are right outside the door, so players can train, play and recover without wasting time on the road.
Fields at the door
The hostel’s own sports park with an artificial-turf soccer court, plus a full-size grass field right next door.
Gym & exercise room
An indoor exercise room with mats and equipment for warm-ups, recovery and athletic work, and a sports hall nearby.
Table tennis & more
Table tennis, foosball, billiards and a streetball court for the evenings. Hot meals in-house, shared rooms, and our staff with the group 24/7.
Mirko & Marion. Thanksgiving in Hamburg is our tradition.
We’re Mirko and Marion Dieseler, the founders of TM17pro, coaches, and soccer parents ourselves. Thanksgiving in Hamburg has become a tradition for us, and it’s one of our favorite weeks of the year.
We don’t drop the players off and fly home. We stay with the group and train with the kids, on the field every day and at the dinner table every night.
And every year the same thing happens: players arrive from different teams as strangers and leave as best friends. Many of them, and their parents, still keep in touch with us and with each other.
Not just drop-off and wait.
Watch every session
Nothing happens behind closed doors. Parents are welcome at every training session and can talk to the coaches directly.
One team, start to finish
We handle the flight booking, the transfers in Hamburg, the hostel, the meals and the program. Your player only needs a passport and soccer boots.
The camp can be the first step into our Elite Soccer Talent Group.
Our Elite Soccer Talent Group is a small, selected group of players with real talent and the ambition and mentality to go all the way. It’s by invitation only: players earn their place through our programs, and the Thanksgiving Camp is one of them. Two weeks in Hamburg give our coaches a close look at how a player trains, competes and handles hard days.
Tailored development
A program built around the individual player, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Scholarships
Group members may be eligible for scholarships toward our programs.
Gear support
Help with cleats, gloves and training suits.
Ongoing scouting
We keep watching the players at their home clubs, not just once.
It happens. Several players in the group came through our Thanksgiving Camp, and Ephraim is coming back for Thanksgiving 2026. Jay played test games for our partner club SC Rahlstedt during his camp in Hamburg and earned an offer to play there. Not every camp player is invited, but every striker in Hamburg gets the chance to show us who they are.
Good to know
Why only strikers?
Our Thanksgiving group is almost full. To keep the team balanced for training and matches, the last spots go to strikers. That’s why we can offer them at this price.
Which airport, and when do we fly?
Round-trip flight from New York ([JFK or Newark]) to Hamburg. We book the flight for you once your spot is confirmed, matched to the camp dates (Nov 21 – Dec 4).
Does my child fly alone?
[Answer to confirm: e.g. “Our staff flies with the group from New York” or “Airline unaccompanied-minor service; we pick up your player at Hamburg airport.”]
What does my player need?
A valid passport (valid well beyond the return date), soccer boots, training clothes and warm clothes. Hamburg in late November is cold. US citizens don’t need a visa for this trip.
Is $2,800 really everything?
Yes: the round-trip flight from New York, 14 days of training, the sports hostel, all meals, 24/7 supervision, transfers and the Thanksgiving party. Only pocket money is extra.
