Men's soccer

The football department of TSV Crailsheim can look back on a successful history in amateur football. Already in the 1960s, great successes were celebrated with the championship of the then II. Amateur League and participation in the promotion games to the I. Amateur League, the then highest amateur class. In the 1970s and 1980s it was not possible to build on these achievements. The crash into the circular leagues began. It was only with the support of long-term sponsor Hermann Opferkuch that the football department was able to build on its old successes and within a short time made its way up to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (promotion 2003).

In the first year of membership in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (2003/04), TSV Crailsheim played for promotion. At the end of the season, the team with the most points won was there, but the promotion was decided at the green table. Due to the bankruptcy of 1. FC Pforzheim during the season, all points scored in games against the Pforzheimer were canceled. FC Nöttingen benefited from this and rose, while TSV Crailsheim had to settle for second place. In the following years, the team was able to place itself in the front places, but it was not enough for promotion. The greatest success during this time was the participation in the WFV Cup final in 2008, which was lost 3-2 to FC Heidenheim.

At the end of the 2007/08 season, the sponsorship concept was changed and the integration of young players from the region began in order to ensure long-term success. In the 2008/2009 season, TSV Crailsheim played in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, which - after the establishment of the 3rd league - was the fifth highest division. The team was trained by the former Schalke international Wolfram Wuttke from July 2008 to mid-September 2008 . Uwe Igler then took over the coaching position, his previous assistant coach Tobias Flitsch since November 2008. In the 2009/10 season the TSV Crailsheim occupied the penultimate place in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, which was equivalent to relegation to the Association League Württemberg. In order to be able to break away from the obligations from the player contracts, the club waived the right to start the association league and voluntarily entered the Hohenlohe district league. There they reached the championship in the 2013/14 season, which means promotion to the state league.

Women's soccer

In 1971 a women's soccer team was founded on the initiative of the club's chairman at the time. The first success was achieved in 1985 with the Württemberg indoor championship. A year later, the first Württemberg championship was won on the field. In the final round of the German championship , the end of the round of 16 against Tennis Borussia Berlin followed . In 1995 the team rose to the women's Bundesliga for the first time . In 1997, the TSV women only narrowly failed to qualify for the single-track Bundesliga. In the relegation one had to give way to SC 07 Bad Neuenahr . It was not until 2004 that they were promoted again, but after a year the team had to relegate. In the following season, the team fought an exciting race with 1. FC Saarbrücken for a long time , from which the Crailsheimers emerged as winners and managed to gain direct promotion. At the end of the 2008/2009 season, the team was relegated from the Bundesliga and the club separated from coach Hubert Müller. With a strongly rejuvenated team, the club was planning to take a leading position in the 2nd Bundesliga South under the new coach Isert. This also succeeded because they finished 4th four times in a row. In the following seasons, the final placement got worse and worse. In 2017, the TSV rose from bottom of the table in the regional league.

tennis

The tennis department is one of the oldest departments of the club and was founded in 1924. The tennis department maintains 9 outdoor sand courts and 2 indoor courts in the department's own indoor tennis hall on the neighboring property at Schönebürg Str. 85 in Crailsheim. In 2015, a total of 21 teams were active in sports. Worth mentioning here are the women 30, who play in their highest league, the Regionalliga Süd-West. The men 60 play in the Württembergliga. There is also a 1st and 2nd men's team, the 1st women's team, men 40 I + II, women 40 and men 65, and the club is very active in youth sports. In the individual athletes, Brigitte Jung must be named as the reigning German champion, second in the individual world rankings and first world rankings in doubles among the over 80 players.
