Dear Parents,
In Hamburg your children are able to participate in a vast range of sports. With around 800 sports clubs, numerous fitness studios and dance schools and the courses and offerings from the district culture centres and free groups, a very broad spectrum of exercise options caters for every need. With the website www.shemoves.hamburg.de, the Department of Sports of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg wishes to ease the access of girls and young women to sports and exercise opportunities. The portal offers convenient and rapid access to the sports and exercise options. Practical search functions help you and your daughters to filter the offerings to find suitable forms of exercise by city district and time.
In Hamburg there is a highly diverse choice available exclusively to girls and young women. It is these groups in particular who often wish to participate in their sports unselfconsciously and amongst themselves. Particularly girls and young women with a background of migration make use of exercise opportunities far less frequently than their male contemporaries. All of the exercise options available in the city are listed on www.shemoves.hamburg.de: From health and fitness training to ball game groups and courses in dance, martial arts and movement arts.
Encourage your daughter to take up exercise and sport because physical activity is important to well-being: Sport brings joy and vitality. Sport is healthy, promotes concentration skills and assists in learning. Sport teaches respect and awareness in dealing with others, and ultimately in dealing with success and defeat.
On top of all that, regular activity also wards off many illnesses: From obesity, osteoporosis and diabetes through to back pain and cardiovascular diseases. Children and young people who exercise grow up to be more healthy. Girls and young women who participate in sport also gain greater courage and self-confidence – important prerequisites for social recognition.
www.shemoves.hamburg.de – the portal for Hamburg’s girls and women from around the world is a project of the Department of Sports of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. As a cooperative partner the Hamburg Sports Association is involved in the project in the field of organised sports.
