The SG Moosburg has to be more active when it comes to new members and trainers.
This is the conclusion of the two chairmen Hans Berger and Joe Sanders.
Moosburg
- The association with its ten departments wants to start an advertising offensive after the summer holidays.
All sports are to be presented on the SGM platforms and in the local media.
As it announced in a press conference, Moosburg's largest sports club also wants to increasingly present its offers in school sports lessons from autumn.
The number of SGM members fell to 1834
The situation at SGM is serious, emphasize Berger and Sanders. In the past twelve months, membership development has been worrying. While entries and exits would otherwise have been more or less the same, it has now become 20 percent fewer and the number of members has dropped to 1834. Another problem is the steadily decreasing number of instructors and trainers. Some migrated to the more lucrative private sector (studios, Vhs, company sports) or would move to another location during their studies.
In the last 18 months, popular sport in Moosburg and overall has lost a lot, says Chairman Hans Berger.
The failure of the entire training and competition operations during the lockdown phases, followed by extensive hygiene measures and attendance checks to this day, has meanwhile met with little understanding from many members.
In addition, according to Berger, the trend is increasingly towards the individual point of view and away from common sense, which is the basis for club work.
Hans Berger also sees the association as having an obligation
The call for change and new concepts is also getting louder.
For the SG Moosburg, however, models such as temporarily leasing the sports facilities to private individuals or organizations are not conceivable in the foreseeable future, said the first chairman.
Rather, you have to get started with the acquisition of children and young people and offer the existing members the usual offer again.
With the trainers, Hans Berger also sees the association as an obligation.
Nowadays, the time required to acquire an exercise leader's license is hardly manageable for a working person with a family.
The most important thing, however, as the two SGM chairmen agree, is that popular sport will not be driven back to zero by a lockdown this fall.
