Members

Members of the DRIV are the roller sports associations of the individual federal states (regional associations). Sports clubs are usually members of the respective national association. In 2019 DRIV had around 38,000 members. Increased membership numbers in the 2000s were primarily attributed to an inline boom by the DRIV.

history

In 1910 the Federation of German Roller Skating Associations was founded and in 1924 it became a founding member of the Fédération Internationale de Roller Skating (FIRS). With the reorganization of sport in the 3rd Reich, the forced dissolution and the re-establishment of the German Rolling Sports Federation (DRB) took place in 1949. The federal government initially had three branches of figure skating, roller hockey and speed skating and was based in Frankfurt am Main. The sports commission skater hockey / roller hockey (later to: inline skater hockey) came to the DRB in 1990. Only high-speed roller skates were operated on inline skates from 1992 (optional until 1996), otherwise the DRB stayed true to the two-lane roller skates.

Expansion to inline skates

For a long time the DRB did not feel responsible for inline skating, so that on November 7, 1996 the German Inline Skate Association (DIV) was founded as an independent association in Frankfurt. In response, the DRB changed its name to DRIV (German Roller Sport and Inline Association) on March 7, 1998 and then declared itself responsible for inline skating. The DIV had too few members and could not join the German Sports Association, the DIV also wanted to avoid association disputes with the DRIV, so that the members of the DIV agreed to join the DRIV with a narrow majority.

Other sports that are now being supervised by the Skateboard and Inline Aggressive Sports Commission , which has since been renamed , are inline aggressive (stunt skating), inline skate basketball, inline skate cross, inline skate slalom, and inline skate high jump , Inline skate limbo, inline skate long jump and inline skate downhill.

According to a DOSB publication on January 1, 2008, the number of members was then distributed among the individual branches as follows:

  • Figure Skating (7864)
  • Roller hockey (2491)
  • Speed ​​skating (8185)
  • Skateboard, inline and alpine (1703)
  • Inline Skater Hockey (7542)
  • Inline Hockey (2737)

In 2016, the IOC decided to host skateboard competitions as an Olympic discipline for the first time at the 2020 Summer Games . The DRIV has therefore been assigned to the top Olympic sports associations within the DOSB since 2018.
