Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.
I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.
Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.
This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.
That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).
This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

The TSG Academy has been recognized as a certified center of excellence for 15 years. During this time, not only did sporting successes such as the German championship titles in the A and B juniors be achieved, many talents also made the leap from youth to professional football. All academy graduates also benefited from TSG’s holistic training philosophy.
TOGETHER.
TO GROW.
Academy Philosophy
SOCCER AND MORE
Comprehensive, holistic training is the credo of the TSG Academy, which attaches great importance to educational support in addition to athletic training. Another important component of our philosophy is the development of social skills as part of a generally positive personality development.
THE TSG ACADEMY CONSISTS OF THREE CENTERS:
- Basic Center (KPT, U12, U13) | Basic area
Im Städtl 13, 74939 Zuzenhausen - Akademie-Arena (U14, U15, U16) | Construction area
Häuselgrundweg 21, 74939 Zuzenhausen - Performance center (U17, U19) | Service area
Sinsheimer Straße 36, 74889 Sinsheim
Our philosophy is based on a close partnership and cooperation with the ” Anpfiff ins Leben ” association. With a high level of competence and experience, the employees of the youth development association under the umbrella of the TSG Academy concentrate on ensuring that all youth players not only do competitive sports but also fully develop their personal school potential and achieve a good educational qualification in order to be able to count on more than one perspective.
We have a sincere obligation to our young players. Therefore, we want to encourage them to lifelong learning and prepare them for life through qualified, holistic training. This dual training aims to develop a “Hoffenheim mentality” that leads the players to top athletic performance and at the same time trains them to master skills such as self-management and social competence at an early stage.
EDUCATION FOR LIFE
Anyone who completed their training at the TSG Academy should find their way around as a “real guy” with the ability to work in a team and the necessary portion of cheek – both within a team and in normal life.
The athletic development of the players from the basic area to the performance area as a preliminary stage to high-performance training is characterized in all measures by a training orientation and not, for example, by a pure result orientation. Our trainers want and should also have an educational effect here.
HIGH SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE
TSG also wants to be a club for outstanding talents from all over Germany and abroad that is an extremely reliable partner for players and parents with a high level of social and professional competence in all pillars of its training philosophy.
In order to pass on our ideas, we also want to be a committed partner in the training of their athletic employees for the bases of ” Anpfiff ins Leben” and the many small clubs in the surrounding area.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim ACADEMY CENTERS & LOCATIONS
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim FOUNDATION CENTER
In the Basic Center (GZ) in Zuzenhausen (Im Städtl 13), our youngest children – i.e. the children’s perspective teams and the U12 and U13 – are trained to become strong personalities in an age-appropriate manner in terms of football, but also in their social skills. We are gradually preparing the GZ talents for the transition to advanced training. The TSG Academy not only takes care of the athletic training of the players, but also supports them in the school and social areas in cooperation with “Anpfiff ins Leben”.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim ACADEMY ARENA
The academy arena in Zuzenhausen’s Häuselgrund forms the intermediate stage to high-performance sport and prepares the players for the next major development step.
The skills acquired in the basic center are refined and intensified. Since the players in this age group make the biggest jump physically, we encourage them very carefully in the athletic as well as in the sport psychological area.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim PERFORMANCE CENTER
The performance center (LZ) is located on the former training ground of the professionals in Hoffenheim on Sinsheimer Straße. The U17 and U19 train here, who enjoy comprehensive educational and sports psychological support. Up to 18 players can live in single and double rooms in the players dormitory.
The athletic training of the LZ players takes place on a high physical level and deals, among other things, with the application of all the techniques learned under time, space and opponent pressure.
Since school-leaving qualifications usually also have to be mastered in this phase, the players can rely on the organized remedial and exam preparation lessons and thus on the direct coordination with the schools through “kick-off into life”.
