competitive sport
The disabled and rehabilitation sports association supports elite athletes with handicaps in the targeted preparation and training for sporting events such as the Paralympic Games by trained supervisors and qualified trainers. For this purpose, the athletes have a competitive sports concept at their disposal in which support for the sports of athletics, swimming, sitting volleyball , table tennis, sledge ice hockey and cycling are laid down. It includes the promotion and implementation of training measures and competitions, the financing of regional and association trainers as well as the search for talent and youth work.

- Youth trains for Paralympics
The federal competition "Youth trains for Paralympics" is a school team competition in which all 16 countries of the Federal Republic of Germany can take part. The idea of a nationwide competition for schoolchildren with disabilities based on “ Youth trains for the Olympics ” (JTFO) developed from the German Youth Sports for Disabled Sports (DBSJ) and the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS) and has been implemented since 2010.
Every year there are federal final events for schoolchildren with the following specializations:
- Physical and motor development (physically handicapped),
- Vision (blind and visually impaired) and
- Mental development (mentally handicapped).
Eligible are teams from special schools with this special focus and teams that are formed from several schools if they work, for example, as integration schools or within the framework of the idea of inclusion and meet the requirements for participation according to the respective state requirements. The patron of the national competition is the Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany , currently Joachim Gauck .
- Talent Day
The aim of the Talent Days is to give as many young people as possible an insight into disabled sports through inclusion, participation and encounters. On the one hand, this applies to all those who have not yet had any contact with organized sport and who want to gain their first experiences and impressions at the Talent Days. On the other hand, the Talent Days enable young people who are already interested in a sport to gain in-depth experience in this sport, for example through workshops and courses.
Popular sport
In addition to swimming and athletics, sports such as Nordic walking and wheelchair basketball are promoted. The member clubs of the BSB offer every athlete the opportunity to take the German Sports Badge (DSA); membership in the club is not required. The German Sports Badge is a badge that is awarded by the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) for certain sporting achievements . The benefits to be paid for the acquisition are graded according to age and gender. For people with disabilities, the groups are divided according to age, gender and disability.
Rehabilitation sports and functional training
As a rehabilitation provider, the BSB and its member associations offer various measures and sports such as gymnastics, swimming and exercise games. The medical prescription " Rehabilitation Sport " applies to participation .
The aim is to improve the physical performance of the disabled or people at risk of disability and at the same time to achieve positive effects in the psychosocial area.
- State Seniors Sports Festival
Athletes who have reached the age of 40 can be registered at the regional seniors sports festival organized by the BSB and organized by the Inklusiv Johannesstift eV sports association. Accompanying persons must be of legal age. All athletes with and without disabilities can take part. The patron of this event is Federal President Gauck.
The sports program includes the following activities:
- Skill competition,
- Frisbee golf,
- "Pen" rally,
- Bowling,
- Popular migration.
- Diabetes program Germany
Michael Rosenbaum's idea for the Diabetes Program Germany came up in spring 2011. The aim is to give as many diabetics (types 1 and 2) as possible enjoyment in sport. To this end, the DPD team has developed a special running program in cooperation with the German Sport University Cologne and the Diabetes Center in the Evangelical Hospital in Cologne-Weyertal. In addition to weight reduction, blood sugar control, blood pressure and blood lipid levels are significantly improved through regular exercise. People with type 1 diabetes are also not excluded from exercise. A good body awareness helps in dealing with the disease. In addition, the psychosocial component of exercise in the community is beneficial to health.
The runners are classified according to their abilities and supported individually in three different performance levels: group “newcomer” (5 km), group “runner” (10 km / 21 km), group “performer” (42 km, requirement: marathon experience).
Education and teaching projects
"Wheels in motion" is an event that brings wheelchair fencing closer to European participants. 16 wheelchair fencers from 13 nations took part in this event for one week in 2013 on the initiative of the Disabled Sports Association Berlin.
