About Us


WELCOME to SOTA
SOTA is a free sports playing ground for children an youths. But we call it academy.
A few years ago, Agnes and her husband Michael used their savings to build a multi-game centre and created a free sports academy for children between the ages of 6 and 13. SOTA is the first playing ground and private sports school that is free. A functioning place for children to play, to get advice and educational support. SOTA is independent of any political ideology and affiliations. The location of SOTA was thoughtfully chosen due to the population of children in the area with little or no opportunity. There is a need for a social program like this for them to help develop their proficiency in sports.


In order to fulfil our mission and provide services for the children, we rely on the support and generosity of individuals. Without the assistance of generous-minded individuals like you, we would not be able to serve the targeted children or help them in any way. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of children and allow us to continue our work at SOTA.

Personal:

Agnes and Michael are married and have children. Agnes studied marketing, is a certified tennis coach and enthusiastic children's coach. Michael worked as a project manager and senior test manager.They love privacy and nature. They do not like publicity. So the best way to meet them is to write, make an appointment and visit them in their garden house in Germany. You will always be welcomed.


Our Target:

To provide a place for as many children as possible for amateur tennis, basketball, table tennis, chess and other sports for free, and to have fun.


CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN, PLEASE LET THE CHILDREN PLAY

We would like to refer to the following quotes to highlight the importance of sports:
- Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity. – Kay Redfield Jamison
- Play is the beginning of knowledge. – George Dorsey
- In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. – Friedrich Nietzsche
- Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold. – Joseph Chilton Pearce
- Play keeps us vital and alive. It gives us an enthusiasm for life that is irreplaceable. Without it, life just doesn't taste good. – Lucia Capocchione

Our Mission:

We want to make children happy and give them hope through sports, communication and educational support.
