Youth Sponsorship Program - DSN: 314-452-7545 or 8041 or Comm: +49 6565 61 7545 (or 8041)

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 52 FSS Youth Programs Facebook page.

Youth Sports Program - DSN: 314-452-1801 or Comm: +49 6565 61 1801

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.

Teens, ages 13-17: curfew on school days is 11:30 p.m.-5 a.m. and on weekends and summer vacation, curfew is 12:30 a.m.-5 p.m..

Driving In Germany

Teens must be at least 17 years old and hold a valid stateside driver's license in order to be eligible to take the USAREUR Driver's Examination. The other alternative is to wait until age 18 and take a driving course in the local community and test for a German license. German licensure is an extremely costly and lengthy process.
