Since 2016, the clubs of the DEL, DEL 2 and Oberliga have been certified as part of the 5-star program. The goals of the program are to get more players excited about our sport, to ensure high-quality training as part of long-term performance development and to create structures in the respective clubs. An extensive catalog of criteria defines standards in all relevant areas, which are regularly reviewed by the responsible club supervisors. In addition to reviewing the targets, the club supervisors support the further development of the individual locations. Exemplary young talent work is promoted and supported with payments from the funding pool (according to Article 61).
