20 US-Fußballtalente besuchen in Neuss ein Jahr die internationale Schule ISR und trainieren dort mit Ex-Bundesligaspieler und Profitrainer Karsten Baumann

In dem am kommenden Montag startenden neuen Schuljahr bekommt die ISR International School on the Rhine in Neuss eine besondere Verstärkung sportlicher Art. 20 Fußballtalente aus den USA im Alter von 14 oder 15 Jahren besuchen im Rahmen eines Förderprojektes für ein Jahr die ISR. In Deutschland sollen sich die Jungen zum einen fußballerisch gezielt weiter verbessern, um später vielleicht den Traum von der Profi-Fußballerkarriere in Europa zu verwirklichen. Zum anderen können die Jungen ihre schulische Ausbildung auf hohem Niveau in ihrer Muttersprache fortsetzen und sich persönlich weiterentwickeln.
Das Training der Schüler an der ISR übernimmt Karsten Baumann, der selber 261 Bundesligaspiele u. a. für den 1. FC Köln und Borussia Dortmund bestritt, mehrere Profivereine trainierte und bereits zwei Jahre als Lehrer an der ISR arbeitet. Er kann den jungen Talenten auch abseits ihrer Trainingszeiten in Düsseldorfer Trainingscamps wertvolle Tipps für eine erfolgreiche Fußballerlaufbahn geben.
Mark Dillon, Initiator des Projektes und Talentscout aus Amerika, betont die Vorteile des ganzheitlichen Ansatzes des Projektes: „Durch die Unterstützung und Expertise von Karsten Baumann und die Verknüpfung des Leistungssports mit der hervorragenden internationalen Schulausbildung an der ISR können sich die jungen Fußballer während ihrer Zeit hier in Deutschland in allen Bereichen verbessern.“ Unterrichtet werden die Jungen während ihrer Zeit in Deutschland in der Mittel- und Oberstufe der ISR, in ihrer Muttersprache. Anpassungsprobleme dürften auch gering sein, weil sie mit Kindern zusammen sind, die ebenfalls perfekt Englisch sprechen und aus der ganzen Welt kommen. Dillon: „Gerade die Unterbringung der Jungen in Gastfamilien ist ein ent-scheidender Beitrag für die persönliche Weiterentwicklung. So lernen die Spieler Kultur und Gesellschaft des Gastlandes am besten kennen.“
„Wir freuen uns sehr über diese spannende Kooperation. Die amerikanischen Gastschüler werden unsere Schulkultur in diesem Jahr sicherlich deutlich bereichern“, so Peter Soliman, geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der ISR im Rahmen einer Kick-off-Veranstaltung: „Wir sind froh, dass wir neben der bewährten hochwertigen akademischen Ausbildung in den vergangenen Jahren auch die sportliche Infrastruktur ausgebaut und in diesem Bereich die personellen Voraussetzungen geschaffen haben, um so etwas anbieten zu können.“ Neben Karsten Baumann arbeiten im Sportbereich vier Lehrer und Ausbilder.
Das Fußballtraining findet auf der benachbarten Bezirksportanlage statt, welche die ISR zum Jahreswechsel übernommen hat und in diesem Sommer stark modernisiert. So entsteht auf dem auch von dem PSV Neuss weiterhin genutzten Gelände zum Beispiel ein neuer Kunstrasenplatz, welcher auch für das Training der US-Talente genutzt wird. Soliman: „Das Fußballprojekt mit den US-Schülern ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Ausbaus unserer zunehmenden Aktivitäten im Sportbereich.“ Die ISR ist zudem Partnerschule des Deutschen Fußball Bundes (DFB) beim DFB-Schnupperabzeichen für Nachwuchsfußballer sowie vom DFB als Junior Coach Ausbildungsschule zertifiziert. In beiden Bereichen finden regelmäßig Schulungen in Neuss statt.

Exciting news for ISR: At a kick-off BBQ last Friday, ISR welcomed 20 American students in Grades 9 and 10. The students are coming to Germany for a year as part of a talent project, to get to know German culture, and to improve their football skills. Students will attend ISR, stay with host families to get to know more about life in Germany, and train with our PE teacher, Karsten Baumann, who played 261 Bundesliga games for the German soccer slubs 1. FC Köln, Borussia Dortmund and who has coached several other professional clubs.
The training will take place at the neighboring sports facility, PSV Neuss, which ISR took over at the beginning of the year and upgraded this summer. Within this modernization of PSV, a new artificial turf pitch will be built in the upcoming months which will be necessary for the training of the 20 US talents. In addition to the modernization of the sports facility and our top notch coaching team, the talent project is another component of the expansion of high-quality sports activities at ISR.
We would like to deeply thank all participants and host families for making this project possible and we’re looking forward to the upcoming school year with our new American students! Welcome to ISR: Kainoa, Jack, Carlos, Ethan, Brock, David, Ryan, Aiden, Edwin, Wyatt, Andrew, Brayden, Luca, Hunter, Anderson, Cameron, Berin, Cameron and Rohan!

Jinren, Grade 1, joined ISR in January, and he has enriched our school community immensely since his very first day. He came to ISR only speaking a few words of English, but that didn’t stop him from making many new friends, working hard, and brightening everyone’s day says his teacher Ms. Insell.
He is a naturally inquisitive boy who is so passionate about learning. He is also a gifted comedian and always has teachers and students giggling along with him. His passion for life truly inspires everyone around him! Way to go, Jinren!

Spotlight On Our Student Airi
Airi, Grade 6, is not just an outstanding student and a great friend but also very talented when it comes to sports and music. Airi plays basketball in a club in Düsseldorf and has proven to be a huge surprise when it comes to her track and field talents. Earlier this year at the Athletics Festival in Neuss in May, just shortly after joining the team, she jumped almost 4 meters (3.93 m) and finished the 75 meter sprint in 11.81 seconds.
In the relay, Airi compete with her good friends Pamela, Mei and Luciana, where the girls finished first! Her coaches are very excited to see what Airi will accomplish when she gains more competitive experience and regular practice.
When it comes to music she is a brilliant dancer and regularly performs at events such as the Cherry Blossom Festival in Meerbusch together with her friends. Airi is also a gifted piano player who enjoys performing in school concerts for her family and friends.
We are proud to spotlight Airi, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!
