To reach as many population groups as possible, sports clubs in Germany offer their services at low membership fees, which have hardly increased over time.
Sports clubs in Germany are characterized, above all, by volunteer work, which is carried out at both the executive and implementation levels. In addition, numerous volunteer helpers support the clubs without being tied to a fixed position at club parties and sports events by providing driving services and renovations. The major sports clubs in Germany are Soccer, Tennis, Gymnastics, and shooting clubs.
Due to COVID-19, local sports activities and joint activities were not possible at all or only to a limited extent. Also, the memberships of sports clubs declined in Germany due to the coronavirus attack. Post-COVID-19, to replace the closure of the sports facilities and thus the discontinuation of the sports programs, the sports clubs expanded parts of their sports programs with digital substitute offers, and the market is emerging into profits gradually.
