Vechte Cup - European Football Cup Schüttorf
This is how the registration works
You talk to your team and parents to find a suitable tournament location.
You as a coach contact us and we will send you further information and the prices for a possible participation. At the same time, we will reserve you a starting place for 3 weeks without obligation.
You discuss this with the players & parents and decide on an accommodation category that suits your requirements & budget.
Once you have discussed everything, you can then complete the binding registration using the online registration form.
After registration you will receive a booking confirmation from us & have the opportunity to make changes to your booking up to 10 weeks before the start of the tournament.
2 weeks before the tournament we will send you the match schedule, the address of the accommodation and further information about the tournament.
Now just pack your bags & experience a great tournament weekend with BALLFREUNDE!

FAQs
Good to know
Is there a maximum number of players?
You can take as many players as you want. It would be a shame if some had to stay at home for such a tournament.
Arrival & mobility on site
The prices do not include travel. We recommend that you also are mobile at the tournament, as we cannot offer a shuttle service from the accommodation to the tournament. If you don't have a car, we would be happy to make you an offer for traveling by bus or train.
Do we have to take care of food?
We offer almost all accommodations with half board, so you will be well taken care of in the morning and in the evening. So that you are also taken care of at lunchtime, you will find various food trucks on site for a small snack in between.
Can I participate with more than one team or can other teams from my club also take part?
If we still have free places, we would be very happy if you made our special tournament an end-of-season trip for the whole club. You can of course speak to your coaching colleagues and pass this information on to them.
Is there a fixed registration deadline for the individual tournaments?
There is no fixed registration deadline, but we recommend that you start planning as soon as possible, as many tournaments are booked out early. We are also happy to reserve a starting place for you for a desired period.
Does the number of participants have to be determined when registering?
In order to offer you maximum flexibility, you can change your number of participants free of charge 10 weeks before the tournament - the number can therefore be adjusted again without any problems. In order to cover sickness-related absences, however, a private travel insurance is advisable.
Can parents and companions come with us?
Parents or siblings are welcome to come to the tournament with you. The tournament is even more fun with the right fan club. Of course we will also accommodate you all in the same accommodation, as you want to experience the tournament together.

Request more information now & reserve a non-binding starting spot
We will reserve a starting place for you for 3 weeks without obligation, so that you can discuss everything with the players and parents in peace. You can request information about the respective tournament via various channels. Give us a call, send us an email or simply write to us via WhatsApp. Alternatively, we can present the tournament to you and your fellow coaches in a video presentation.
