Volunteering in football: Bernd and Katrin Matthiessen rays for Brekendorf!

In the world of football, the view often falls on the players and coaches, while the tireless heroes usually remain unnoticed in the background. The SH soccer association (SHFV) has launched an action in order to throw a deserved light on their work to this committed volunteer. This initiative entitled "SHFV surprised" has the goal of honoring the essential people who are crucial for the smooth running of a football club.

One of the outstanding personalities who was recognized by this campaign is Bernd Matthiessen, who works as a places of the Brekendorfer TSV. Together with his wife Katrin, Matthiessen takes care of the care of the club system, which is anything but small and includes two smaller fields, two smaller fields, a boules place and two beach volleyball fields. The comprehensive work and the attention to detail that the couple invests in maintenance ensure that the sports facility is in excellent condition. This was not only praised by club members, but also by opposing teams.

volunteer commitment in focus

Bernd's commitment is associated with enormous personal effort. He and Katrin are working almost every day to maintain the various facilities. Above all, the creation of amenities for visitors is important to them, such as standing tables made from large cable drums, or a sandpit that enables young children to play while parents can follow the football games. The Matthiesses have a clear goal: they want to offer better opportunities for the younger generation of footballers than those that were offered to them during their active time.

The SHFV appreciates the remarkable work of Bernd Matthiessen with this honor. The groundsman not only took over the obligation to maintain the sports facilities, but also developed its own ideas to improve the system. For example, an extension to the tool shed is realized, and on the training ground, which is now also used for point games under floodlights, Bernd has built a new sales booth.

These forms of engagement are invaluable for clubs. The SHFV not only awarded Bernd Matthiessen with the "SHFV surprised" campaign, but also raised awareness of the important role of volunteering in football. The work that often takes place in the background is crucial for the success and functioning of sports clubs, and this warm recognition is a step in the right direction.
