LIONS CLUB
Spirit, Community & Hospitality
What is the Lions Club?
The Lions Club is a volunteer parent organisation that supports the ISD Sports & Activities programme, including both ISD Sportverein and NECIS sports. Its mission is to enhance the overall experience for student-athletes and their families by fostering school spirit, building community, and offering warm hospitality to visiting teams.
The Lions Club has a long-standing tradition of support and involvement within the ISD sports community.
Goals of Lions Club:
-
To enhance spirit in the community
-
To support ISD & ISD Sportverein athletes
-
To offer hospitality to visiting teams
Who is the Lions Club?
All family members of students participating in ISD Sportverein or NECIS sports are automatically members of the Lions Club. No sign-up is required — participation is open and encouraged.
Community Through Sport
Participation in German Sportverein (SV) leagues helps students grow into healthy, confident, and socially grounded young adults. Sport is viewed not only as competition, but as a valuable life tool that teaches teamwork, respect, and resilience.
Being part of the ISD Sportverein supports the development of these qualities through ISD’s Core Values of Heart, Hunger, Courage and Pride.
The Importance of Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is crucial to the ISD Sportverein experience. Parents are partners whether they are volunteering as board members or transporting players to games. This is what makes the ISD Sportverein special — building a closer community through sport.
MORE WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
Hospitality For Home Games
Currently, this is organised by the parents of each specific sports team. This is done through the provision of refreshments to players and spectators during volleyball, basketball and selected soccer games. Any Sportverein team can run a hospitality event. This is led by the ISD Sports and Activities Department and is supported by ISD Sports families.
