Youth Sponsorship Program information can be provided by the School Liaison Officer (SLO).

The Youth Sponsorship program is designed to allow youth to find out about life at Spangdahlem from someone his/her own age prior to their arrival here. It also gives them a friend at the new base so they will know someone immediately when they arrive. To get a Youth Sponsor, send a request with the child's name, age, school grade, address, arrival date, and any questions/interests to the SLO at DSN 314-452-6942 or Comm: +49 6565 61 6942.

Youth Sports is the place to learn about sports, teamwork and fun! The Youth Sports program encourages all youths ages 5 to 18 to participate in team sports. Seasonal sports include baseball, basketball, outdoor soccer, flag football and cross country. We also offer a Start Smart program for parents and their youth ages 3-4 to learn the basics in basketball, baseball and soccer. During the summer months we offer Super Summer Sports Camps in varying ½ day week-long programs. These programs teach the fundamentals of sports, develop individual coordination and self-confidence, and instill the value of sportsmanship.
