Sources & context
Factual information is based on the linked publications of Deutsche Turnjugend (DTJ), Deutscher Turner-Bund (DTB) and the official Bundesjugendspiele website. Additional explanations, teaching ideas and example videos by Herr Karaca reflect Mustafa Karaca’s personal Parkour experience and recommendations. They are not official requirements or an endorsement or approval by DTJ. Current original documents, school safety requirements and responsible assessment on site take precedence.

The joy of movement comes first.
Bundesjugendspiele introduces children and young people to athletics, swimming and gymnastics. Different formats offer varied movement experiences. Gymnastics includes Wettbewerb, Wettkampf and Mehrkampf; Parkour is being developed as an additional competition offering.

Why Parkour in school?
Experience progress
Adapt tasks gradually. The next safe learning step matters more than spectacular acrobatics.
Learn together
Observe, offer feedback and consider others without pressuring children into risky attempts.
03 · BJS
Choose a school grade.

Preparing for practice
General Herr Karaca recommendations, not station-specific DTJ instructions:
- Check equipment and mats before starting; define safe routes and waiting areas.
- Start with simple tasks and adapt height, distance and speed to the children.
- Practise landings and controlled transitions first. Difficult acrobatics are not a prerequisite.
- Agree clear start signals, maintain adequate spacing and recognise overload early.
