women's sport is a given in Offenbach. The offer is diverse and designed for all age groups. Offenbacher sports clubs with their many volunteer helpers who are creative, flexible and highly committed. Often, however, lack the information for women interested in - what is being offered by whom, and especially where I can exercise the planned sport? In a recent amendment, we have therefore asked the council to create a compilation of the sports facilities in Offenbach, directed specifically at women. It is to be a brochure.
Among the many members of the Offenbach Sports Clubs, about half are people with an immigrant background. The proportion of foreign girls and women is low. While it is obvious that the father and / or son drive active in sports clubs, the sports participation of immigrant women remain low. This has been confirmed by the German Gymnastics Federation on the basis of a study.
It applies with sports clubs and other sports providers to consider together, what courses can respond to the special needs of migrant women. It requires special care and sensitivity. Only then can barriers be reduced and to create confidence.
I am sure we will meet at the Offenbacher sports clubs of interest, but this is not just an integration task, but I also see it as an opportunity to strengthen the clubs in their inventory.
