TSG-GuFiT: Die Verwirklichung einer Vision
Der Weg zum „Gesundheits- und Fitness-TREFF“ (GuFiT) der TSG 1881 Sprockhövel e.V.
Vor 15 Jahren haben wir geträumt – wir das waren sechs bis acht „junge Spinner“ (alle damals um die 40 Jahre alt), die
glaubten, dass die TSG Sprockhövel sich doch mal wieder „bewegen“ und verändern müsse, ein Verein mit seit Jahren
konstant ca. 3000 Mitgliedern, der schließlich ca. 15 Jahre vorher sein 100-jähriges Bestehen gefeiert hatte. Außerdem
waren in den 70er Jahren mehrere Abteilungen (Tennis, Badminton, Tanzen, Koronarsport) neu gegründet und außersportliche
Jugendarbeit aktiv betrieben worden. Aber dann … wurde es ruhig im Verein.
TSG-GuFiT: Realisation of a Vision
The way to the "Health and Fitness Group" (Gesundheits- und Fitness-TREFF, GuFiT) of the
German sports club TSG 1881 Sprockhövel e.V.
15 years ago we dreamed – we that is six to eight "young madcaps" (at that time all about 40 years old), who believed that
the sports club TSG Sprockhövel should move with the times and change, a club with a constant number of around 3000
members for many years, which had celebrated its 100-years anniversary around 15 years earlier. In addition, in the 1970s,
several divisions (tennis, badminton, dance, coronary sport) had been newly founded and active youth work outside of sport
carried out. But then … it went quiet within the club.
The "Impulse Group" (as the reformer / dreamers called themselves)
wanted to implement health-oriented exercise courses, trend
sports – and perhaps even cultural offers and create the club's own fitness
studio. Revolution!
After five years all attempts at implementing change had failed – and
the Impulse Group dis-solved – some members went their own way and
founded their own clubs, others relocated to Southern Germany.
Some years later the "Dreamers" were asked if they could take an active
part in the rede-velopment of the club, a "Club Development Consultation"
was carried out and a concept for development of the club
drawn up. Three meetings with external consultants, many discussions
and much patience was required – until in 2005 two "Madcaps"
became members of the board, a mission statement was formulated
(as a contribution to the competition "The Sustainable Sports Club"
organised by the regional sports association of North Rhine Westphalia
and the RWE – a major German energy supplier previously
