About our club

One club. Many ways to be part of it.

TSV Kareth-Lappersdorf has been part of the local community since 1927. From just over 150 members in its early years, the club has grown into a large multi-sport club with nearly 2,900 members.

Children taking their first steps in sport, teenagers, recreational athletes, competitive athletes, adults and seniors all have their place here. Some come to compete, others to stay fit, meet people or simply enjoy being active.

Behind all of this are more than 120 coaches and instructors, more than 250 volunteers, organisers, parents and many helping hands. Sport is at the heart of TSV – but community is what brings the club to life.

React fast. Play precisely.And take the next step as a team.

Badminton combines very short reaction times, explosive movement and precise shots. At TSV, the range runs from recreational training to team competition – and since the 2025/26 season, for the first time, through a complete league campaign.

Across 18 fixtures, the team recorded six wins and four draws and finished sixth out of ten in its first Bezirksliga Nord (district-level league) campaign.

Speed

Much more than garden badminton

In competition, attacking smashes, short sprints, defence and finely placed shots change constantly. A shuttlecock behaves very differently from a ball, so flight path, touch and timing are crucial.

Body & mind

Reaction and tactics belong together

Badminton demands speed, coordination, jumping power and endurance. At the same time, players have to read situations under pressure and decide on placement, pace and movement.

At TSV

From training group to first team

Entering official team competition in 2025/26 marked a new step for the section. The first season brought matches against established clubs from the region and ended with a place in the middle of the table.

For different levels

Start, return or improve

Badminton can be played recreationally or competitively. Beginners, returning players and those who want to develop their game can all find a suitable route into training.

Skiing & Mountain Sports · blind skiing

Skiing brings people together.No matter how well you can see.

For many years, guided skiing for blind and visually impaired people has been a special project close to the heart of TSV’s Skiing & Mountain Sports section. The aim is to enable blind and visually impaired people to experience alpine skiing safely, independently and with enjoyment.

That takes more than enthusiasm: well-trained guides, mutual trust and extensive experience on the slopes.

01
Experience

The commitment goes back many years and is firmly rooted in the Skiing & Mountain Sports section.

02
Guide training

Rolf and Nico Kroseberg pass on their experience and regularly train new skiing guides.

03
Together on the slopes

Ski trips, courses and shared activities bring guides together with blind and visually impaired skiers.

04
Long-term commitment

The initiative has even led to the creation of Förderverein Blindenskisport Lappersdorf e.V., an independent non-profit support association.

From an idea to real expertise

Rolf Kroseberg laid the foundations after training in Austria as a guide for blind and visually impaired alpine skiers. Since then, he has worked to pass on this specialised form of skiing.

Passing on knowledge

Together with his son Nico, he trains new guides. Safe skiing technique is only part of the programme: communication, orientation and an understanding of different visual impairments are equally important.

The goal

Blind and visually impaired skiers should have a trained guide at their side and be able to share the enjoyment of winter sport with others.
