GLITTERBOX – The Iphitos Summer Festival 2025

+++ BMW Group und Partner ermöglichen Jugendlichen aus Münchner Brennpunktschulen mit FUTURE ACES den Zugang zum Tennissport +++ Jugendliche nehmen an Pfingstcamp im MTTC Iphitos teil +++ BMW Open by Bitpanda im April als Startschuss der Initiative +++

München. Vereinssport und Tennis sind wirksame Plattformen für junge Menschen – nicht nur zur sportlichen Betätigung, aber auch zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung sowie als Zugang zu sozialen Kontakten und Netzwerken. Den Weg zu diesen wertvollen Zukunftsperspektiven möglichst vielen Jugendlichen zu öffnen, ist das Ziel von FUTURE ACES. 19 Jugendliche aus Münchner Brennpunktschulen haben daher im Rahmen der Initiative in den Pfingstferien an einem Tenniscamp des MTTC Iphitos teilgenommen. FUTURE ACES ist ein gemeinsames Projekt der BMW Group, MMP Event, dem Tennisclub Iphitos und weitern Partnern des ATP-500-Tennisturniers BMW Open by Bitpanda.

Jungen und Mädchen hatten die Chance sich über die Organisation „DEIN MÜNCHEN“ und die Stiftung „Kick ins Leben“, mit denen die BMW Group bereits seit vielen Jahren eng zusammenarbeitet, zu bewerben. 19 Schülerinnen und Schüler erhielten vier Tage lang intensive Tennis-Trainingsstunden. Betreut von Coaches des MTTC Iphitos übten sie Grundschläge sowie Techniken und trainierten Seite an Seite mit den anderen Teilnehmenden des Tenniscamps. Sportbekleidung, Schuhe und Schläger wurde von den Partnern und dem Tennisausrüster Dunlop gestellt.

Mit FUTURE ACES erleichtern die Partner den jungen Menschen mit schwierigen Startbedingungen aber nicht nur den Zugang zum Tennissport. Sie ermöglichen ihnen auch, sich in einem fördernden Umfeld persönlich weiterzuentwickeln, Kontakte zu knüpfen sowie wertvolle Erfahrungen zu sammeln – und sorgten damit in der Trainingswoche für viel Freude bei den Kindern und Jugendlichen.

Gestartet wurde das langfristig angelegte Programm FUTURE ACES bei den BMW Open by Bitpanda im vergangenen April: Pro Ass beim ATP-500-Turnier in München spendeten die drei Partner eine Trainerstunde für sozial benachteiligte Kinder und Jugendliche. Insgesamt 361 Asse schlugen die Profis um den deutschen Einzel-Sieger Alexander Zverev im Turnierverlauf und erspielten damit 361 Trainerstunden. Das Pfingstcamp war die erste Maßnahme der geneinsamem Initiative, weitere werden folgen – sowohl auf dem Court als auch daneben. Das Ziel ist es, über weitere Angebote wie Informationstage und Praktika im Umfeld des Vereins und der BMW Open den Teilnehmenden vielfältige Möglichkeiten zu bieten, ihre Potenziale zu entdecken und Fähigkeiten auszubauen – um so gestärkt in ein selbstbestimmtes Leben als FUTURE ACES zu starten.

Camps

Kids and youngsters in every age group have to keep honing their technique and tactics. In the camps, a lot of emphasis is placed on training technique and later match situations. Tennis beginners are very welcome. Let's get started with lots of fun and a great program in the Whitsun vacation and summer camps at MTTC Iphitos.

Fitness

Our fitness coaches try to get everyone going, be it through our daily fitness program for children and young people, be it individually and specifically tailored to the individual. We work hard - and with a lot of joy.

Youth training/ ball school

The support model practiced by the club includes continuous support for Iphitos children and young people right through to integration into adult tennis. Our concept includes getting kids ready to play quickly and integrating them into teams. We convey the joy of sport and exercise, taking into account the "Play-and-Stay" guidelines of the ITF and the DTB.

The joy of sport and playing with the ball is absolutely paramount in the ball school. Children learn how to handle different balls, anticipate and master situations through age-appropriate, primarily coordination tasks. Experience in handling different balls and different bats provides good basic training.

Adult training

Adult training is offered in the form of individual and group lessons. You can book individual lessons or entire subscriptions (summer 13 weeks, winter approx. 24 weeks). Please contact us and we will find an individual solution for you.

Our Iphi Santa Claus event takes place every year at the beginning of December. Christmas snacks, mulled wine or an aperitif as well as presents for the children and a cross decorated for Christmas create a contemplative atmosphere. And of course St. Nicholas also drops by.

Children's summer party

Of course, there is also an event highlight of the season for our Iphi Juniors: the children's summer party. On this day, the focus is on our kids aged five to twelve.

Every year, a diverse and varied supporting program is prepared. Among other things, our Iphi Juniors look forward to entertaining team games in the competition for the best team!

Summer party

The Iphitos summer party is the highlight of the year! Over 400 members, friends and supporters honor the teams and players of the year, enjoy good food and party late into the night.

Season Opnening by Hilscher

At the start of the summer season, the season opening takes place with the traditional Schleiferl tournament on our freshly prepared outdoor courts. While the adults devote themselves to tennis and activities, our supervisors lovingly look after the little ones.

After the tournament, the winners are honored at an award ceremony and we toast with a welcome aperitif and afternoon sounds from DJ Mata on the sun terrace.

School`s Out

The end of the school year in July holds a very special event for all Iphi juniors: We celebrate the end of the summer season together! After an exhausting and intensive year, the kids are the focus of this day and should be rewarded for their achievements.

The program includes team honors for U8-U12, barbecue & drinks, music and much more! All Iphi Juniors up to the age of 12 who are members of Iphitos are invited, including non-team players!

Bar & dance music with Tom & Jazzy

Enjoy your dinner with relaxed live music: our member Thomas Bangha-Szabo plays swing, blues and bossa hits with his tried-and-tested combo (bass, piano, saxophone and drums). And yes, you can also dance later.

We play in any weather - but preferably on the terrace in the Munich evening sun. Table reservations can be made directly in our club restaurant CROSS at: 089 62099331.

*Dates are communicated at the beginning of the summer and winter seasons.

Tea Time

We are pleased to invite our senior citizens to coffee, cake and a glass of Prosecco once every summer and winter season.

Come to Iphitos, feel at home and enjoy homemade cakes and good conversation with your long-time friends and play partners.

Beats & Balls

It's that time again! On June 20, 2024, starting at 6 p.m., we will be kicking off our eagerly awaited Beats & Balls series for the summer season. The theme is Beach Edition! So get the right clothes ready and see you there! Admission is completely free for Iphitos members, including snacks and drinks from Cross!

Bar Piano

The Bar Piano Evening takes place every Monday from 5.30 pm in our CROSS restaurant. Enjoy the relaxed sounds of Thomas & Friends at the piano.

Just the right ambience for dinner or good drinks in the CROSS club restaurant.
