With around 2,800 members, it is the second largest sports club in the district.
The club was founded in 1947 as a football club , but today offers a wide range of ten different sports in Leeden , Ledde , Tecklenburg and the surrounding area. Therefore, the association is not limited to sporting activities, but offers a variety of cultural, social and sporting events.
history
At the founding meeting on July 7, 1947 with around 40 participants, the statutes and the financing plan including membership fees were decided and the board was elected. The new members chose "Ballsportverein Westfalia Leeden" as the club name.
At the first general assembly in January 1948, the association had 106 members, including 28 women, 48 men and 30 young people. With the help of an English pioneer unit, a new sports facility was created in 1965 and the Habichtswald Stadium was handed over to the club on July 24, 1965.
On January 17, 1972, a newly built gymnasium was handed over to its destination during a ceremony. With the use of this sports facility, the area of action of the association - with 400 members now - grew into new dimensions. The BSV was divided into independent sports departments. With the extensive range of sports on offer, it had become a popular sports club. In addition to children's gymnastics , basketball , gymnastics and exercise , table tennis (from 1978), as well as tennis and volleyball (from 1979) were soon offered.
The entry of Ledder Werkstätten on October 1, 1988 as an independent sports department for the disabled was another milestone in the club's history. With the recognition as a disabled sports community by the Landesversorgungsamt NW on August 1, 1990, the Ledder workshops received the authorization to carry out rehabilitation sports within the meaning of the Federal Supply Act. In 1997, 250 members practiced active sport, including over 160 rehabilitation sport based on medical prescription. This branch of work is regarded as a model case and was at the time trend-setting nationwide.
Departments
The BSV Leeden-Ledde currently has ten departments:
Basketball, disabled sports, football, health sports, indoor sports, Nordic walking , taekwondo , tennis, table tennis and volleyball.
