The Deutsche Schulsportstiftung (DSSS) is a central organization in German school sports, which has been committed to promoting extracurricular school sports since its foundation in 1999. Since 2003, it has been the organizer and host of the world's largest school sports competition Jugend trainiert für Olympia & Paralympics.

• Jugend trainiert für Olympia & Paralympics: This competition offers students the opportunity to gain competitive experience and to convey positive values such as fairness, team spirit and commitment. It serves as a platform for the discovery of talents and promotes the transition from school sports to clubs and associations[1][3].
• Inclusion and Integration: The competition creates a meeting field for students of all types of schools, regardless of disabilities[1][5].

The mission of the DSSS is to enable as many students as possible to gain experience in competitive sports and to convey values such as fairness, team spirit and commitment. The focus is on promoting inclusion and integration in school sports[1][3].

The DSSS is committed to long-term sustainability in school sports by creating a broad base for sporting activities and promoting young talents. The integration of Paralympics also promotes the inclusion of students with disabilities[1][5].

The cooperation with various sports associations and ministries of education ensures comprehensive support for school sports in Germany. The DSSS works closely with the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), the German Sports Youth and the German Disabled Sports Association to ensure comprehensive promotion of school sports[1][3].

By promoting school sports, a contribution is also made to health promotion and the development of social skills, which contributes to the strengthening of society in the long term.
