Landesportbund Hessen calls for participation - together for fairness, cohesion and movement
On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, it says again: jersey and flag show for club sport . The State Sports Association Hesse (LSB H) is participating for the third time in the nationwide jersey day , an initiative of the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB). The aim is to make the performance of the sports clubs visible and to set a strong sign for the social value of the club sports.
"Sports clubs connect people and promote team spirit, fairness and commitment," emphasizes LSB H-President Juliane Kuhlmann. "The jersey day brings these values to the street - visible and effective."
All are invited to participate
Participation is simple: whether students, working people or retiree - on May 20, all club members should wear their jersey, shirt or sports outfit , at school, at work or in public space. Companies, authorities and political representatives are also called for participation.
The jersey day is supported by many sports associations and educational institutions. The aim is to put the importance of club sports more into public awareness - and to inspire more people for movement, health and community .
Prominent athletes show face
Well -known competitive athletes with roots in Hessian club sport are also included:
- BOB Olympic champion Laura Nolte (BSC Winterberg): "The club was my springboard-with team spirit and support from the start."
- Supervisor Deborah Levi (TV Dillenburg): "Friendships and joy in sport wore me."
- Rower Marc Weber (RSV Steinmühle Marburg/GRC Hassia Gießen): "Clubs are like a second family."
- Athlete Eileen Demes (TV 1861 Neu-Isenburg): "The pride to represent my club motivates me every day."
Club sport needs attention and support
The jersey day should also point out the challenges that many clubs have to face: lack of volunteer, growing bureaucracy and partly ailing sports facilities. At the same time, clubs make an important contribution to health, integration and social cohesion .
Participants can share their support with a photo in club clothing under the hashtag #trikottag on social media.
