New playing areas for young and old: basketball and volleyball in Bischofswerda!

in Bischofswerda: Today, a new basketball facility was inaugurated on Beethovenstrasse, which immediately aroused children, adolescents and adults. The initiative came from Martin Eckert, a student of the Kirchstrasse high school, who launched the project during a business game for local politics. With the new square, not only a space for leisure activities is created, but also the increased interest in basketball, especially the popular 3 × 3 variant, is taken up positively. This enthusiasm was recently inspired by the Olympic gold medal of the German women's team, which in many cities led to a real basketball fever, how [Sächsische] (https://www.saechsische.de/lokales/bautzen-lk/bischofswerda/neue-volleyball-und-basketballplaetze-in-bischofswerda and-gaussig-vzsavg2vercpla6xgpqxa.html) reported.

The redesigned sports facility is open to the public and stands out through its special sports covering in light blue and red, which not only looks appealing, but also ensures that rainwater can run quickly. Further practical improvements are given by a ramp for wheelchair users, which facilitates access for all users: on the inside. The equipment naturally includes basketball baskets and benches.
The financing for this project comes from several sources: the city, an association, funding from the State Sports Association and generous donations, including 13,000 euros from a crowdfunding campaign, have made it possible for this place to be an open sports and meeting area for the entire community.

new volleyball field in Gaußig

But not only Bischofswerda can look forward to new sports facilities, a new publicly accessible volleyball field was also inaugurated in Gaußig. After the old field was badly affected, it was extensively renovated and equipped with a new network and marked playing field lines. The municipal building yard has done a great job here to bring the facility back into shape.

For all those who are interested in the purchase of outdoor sports facilities, the Kübler-Sport online shop offers a large selection of high-quality and robust basketball systems that are perfect for different locations, be it in schools, playgrounds or in gardens. The weather -resistant and often mobile basketball systems are particularly popular, which are easy to build and enable flexible use. Among other things, these are also used for streetball, a popular outdoor variant of the game, which is often held by three against three players. Whether stationary or mobile, there is a suitable option for every use, such as Kübler Sport.

sports spirit in the community

The trend towards modern sports facilities pursues the goal of anchoring sport and movement as a lifestyle in our society. As explained on Sport-Zone, the new sports facilities should not only be places of sport, but also social interaction and well-being. There is a significant need for renovation in Germany: over 30% of the sports facilities are over 40 years old. The renovation backlog amounts to at least 31 billion euros. With innovative projects and digital planning tools, however, the aim is to promote both access to sports offers and sustainability.

With the inauguration of the new basketball and volleyball courts in Bischofswerda and Gaussig, another step is taken towards an active and sporty community. The path is paved for more joy in sport, and for many it is clear: these new places will soon become the favorite places in the region!
