history

In order to benefit from the financial resources of the Federal Child and Youth Plan in 1950, the dsj had to be constituted as an independent organization. The dsj was founded in May 1950 on the Sudelfeld near Bayrischzell . The 50th anniversary celebration also took place there. It sees itself as the good conscience of sport.

activities

A special event is the dsj-jugendevent, formerly the federal youth meeting, which sees itself as a "showcase" for child and youth work in sport in all member organizations. It is intended to serve both for public presentation and lobbying for sport and to represent the full diversity of German children's and youth sport. The dsj youth event 2011 with the motto "Move your Body, stretch your Mind" took place in Burghausen.

In 2017 the youth event "jugend.macht.sport!" take place in Berlin.
