from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the ski boarding school Furtwangen Baden-Württemberg GmbH (hereinafter referred to as SKIF) in the Black Forest, young top athletes from the Baden-Württemberg ski associations receive training at one of the Furtwangen schools as well as sports training. The young athletes from around 15 years of age build a professional existence and at the same time receive individual competitive sports funding in the disciplines of biathlon , cross-country skiing , Nordic combined and ski jumping . It should be prevented that the young athletes only devote themselves to sport and then at the end of their sports career are faced with nothing at all.

history

The first plans for the ski boarding school of the Baden sports official Fredy Stober (1910-2010) date from the 1970s. The opening took place in 1984. In 1998 the German Sports Association awarded the very effectively and successfully working sports boarding school the coveted title of "Elite School of Sports". The German Savings Banks and Giro Association makes an important contribution to securing the future of the SKIF by promoting the elite sports school. In 2006 the ski boarding school in Furtwangen was selected as one of 365 locations that represented Germany as part of the “ Land of Ideas ” campaign.

The boarding school was housed in the Don Bosco home of the Salesians of Don Bosco from the start . After their departure on September 30, 2010, the house was taken over by Skiinternat Furtwangen Baden-Württemberg GmbH, in which the city of Furtwangen, the Baden-Württemberg Young Olympic Foundation and the International Association IB are involved. It is a dormitory for trainees and vocational students. The young athletes are also looked after by the staff of the International Federation IB. This includes accommodation and full board as well as educational support for the young people.
