German sports organizations announce training and awards

The Hessischer Seglerverband e. V. has announced a theoretical training module for aspiring trainer assistants. Scheduled for December 5, 2026, at the Frankfurter Yachtclub e. V., the course is designed to help clubs integrate advanced young sailors into training support roles. The program follows the German Sailing Federation's concept and requires a subsequent practical module and a valid first aid certificate.

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Landessportbund is calling for nominations for the 2026 sports awards. The initiative seeks to recognize outstanding athletes and teams across nine categories, including para-sports and youth categories. Additionally, the organization is seeking to honor volunteers who contribute to the sports community through various roles such as board members, coaches, or race officials.
