Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf Venues Sustain Free Weekly Youth Sports for 8-18 Year-Olds
District facilities from Zillestraße 54 to the Horst-Körber-Sportzentrum sustain weekly free training and larger events for children aged 8 to 18.
How we reported this
The annual Talentiade Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf on July 4, 2026, drew 157 children to the Horst-Körber-Sportzentrum to sample multiple disciplines and display talent under one roof.
Local infrastructure has supported expanded youth access since May 2021, when the district launched weekly free sessions in football, boxing, badminton and table tennis for ages 8 to 18. Those programs rely on fixed indoor spaces that remain available year-round, allowing clubs to maintain consistent schedules without repeated venue searches.
Core Venues in Daily Use
Badminton for ages 8 to 14 and table tennis meet every week inside the Haus der Jugend at Zillestraße 54. Boxing sessions for ages 13 to 18 take place at the Haus der Jugend Anne Frank, while the same age group also trains on Fridays from 19:30 to 24:00 at Sporthalle Schloßstraße through a partnership with MitternachtsSport and Hertha BSC. Mommsenstadion, with its 15,005 capacity, serves as the home ground for SCC Berlin teams and hosts larger community events organised by the club that fields 9,554 members across 36 disciplines.
DBV Charlottenburg, the fourth-largest basketball club in Berlin with 888 members, runs youth squads from U14 to U20 and fields a side in the Nachwuchs-Basketball-Bundesliga. The club shares training time at existing school and district halls rather than operating its own dedicated arena.
Scale of Offerings and Participation
Bezirkliche Sportvereine together provide 44 different sports, with football and tennis holding the widest programme footprints, followed by gymnastics, leisure activities and mountaineering. Borussia 19, a newer football club founded by parents, draws roughly 80 percent of its participants from Nehring-Grundschule and continues to request additional hall and pitch time to accommodate demand.
Residents seeking entry can contact the district youth and sports office or visit the listed houses of youth directly; current schedules and registration details appear on the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf administration pages and on individual club sites such as dbv-charlottenburg.de.
