The three sports centers in the districts of Bockenheim and Rödelheim focus on recreational and popular sports in various fields. In addition, competitive sports are practiced in some departments.
tennis
The tennis department of FTG Frankfurt participates with several teams in the league operations of the Hessian Tennis Association (HTV). In Frankfurt- Rödelheim the club has its own tennis facility with 6 clay courts and a three-field tennis hall.
Table tennis
In 1973 the table tennis department of TGS Rödelheim joined the club. This had been represented by a men's team in the 1st Bundesliga since 1969 and started under the name FTG Frankfurt from 1973/74 . At the end of the 1976/77 season, the team was relegated. From 1988 on, she played again for two years in the 1st Bundesliga. Well-known FTG players were Jörg Roßkopf , Sascha Köstner , Istvan Korpa and Timo Boll .
The women's team around Cirila Korpa (wife of Istvan Korpa), the twin sisters Blanka and Hanka Rohan, Antje Oschmann and Gudrun Radtke rose to the Bundesliga in 1977. In 1986 she became German champion in the line-up of Jin-Sook Cords , Anke Schreiber , Anja Spengler, Andrea Ullmann and Gerlinde Glatzer , and in 1987 she defended this title ( Branka Batinić , Anke Schreiber, Andrea Ullmann, Cornelia Reckziegel, Gerlinde Glatzer).
When the sponsors withdrew in 1989, several top executives left the women's and men's teams. A year later, both teams were relegated from the 1st Bundesliga, and in 1994 the men's team was withdrawn from the 2nd BL in the Regional League.
chess
The chess department was represented in the Bundesliga in the early 1990s , but withdrew the professional team in 1992 for financial reasons. Well-known players were the grandmasters Chalifman , Gutman , Lobron and Ostojić . The chess department of the FTG played in the Oberliga Hessen until 2006, but then rose and disbanded.
volleyball
The FTG is also represented in the field of competitive sports in volleyball. There are several women's and men's teams in different leagues in Hessen. The women's team I took sixth place in the Landesliga Süd in the 2006/07 season. After being promoted last season, women II reached seventh place in the district league east, women III eighth place in the district class east.
There were three men in the 2006/07 season. The old men's team I was relegated to the Landesliga Süd again after being promoted to the Oberliga Hessen last season.
The men's team II rose through a sovereign performance (without losing a single game) for the 2007/08 season in the regional league. However, the previous men's I team did not compete in the LL, but merged with the Eintracht Frankfurt men's volleyball team (also LL-Süd at the time). The newly formed team played as relegated in the 2008/09 season in the district league (BOL), after relegation in the 2009/10 season must compete in the district league.
The former Men II, who moved up from the district league to the LL in 2006/07, played as the new Men I in the 2007/08 season in the LL-South and finished seventh in the table after the end of the season. The 2008/09 season they finished sixth in the table again from class.
Men III broke up after the 2006/07 season, so there is no longer a men's team in the volleyball area at FTG.
