We conducted interviews with representatives of 3 gymnastics clubs located in Frankfurt and Cologne that look back on a long history. The information obtained in these interviews and accompanying documents has become the basis of this study in which we hope to give an overview of the 3 clubs’ current state.
The information obtained in the course of this study can be divided in the following areas:
1) Number of members, 2) Sports departments, 3) Monthly fee, 4) Sports programme, 5) Financial and fiscal, 6) Financial support from the government, 7) Donations from corporations, 8) Coaches, 9) Events, 10) Cooperation with other organizations.
Using the information presented in this report, useful advice for the future proceedings of multi-sport clubs in Japan could be obtained.
