Each person from the age of 6 to 90 (6 - 19 for PSS) can receive a bronze, silver or gold badge. To take part in DOSB testing outside of Germany, an official DOSB approved examiner has to be available. Ulla Finkeldey received the official Examiner certification in June, 2014, with which we can now do official DOSB approved testing and certification with all our students at PSS.

Age groups include 6 + 7 Years, 8 + 9 Years, 10 + 11 Years, 12 + 13 Years, 14 + 15 years, 16 + 17 Years, 18 - 20 Years

All testing will be ongoing, throughout the year in sports classes. At the up-coming sports day we will start with the testing of some of these disciplines.

From each category the best result (only 1) will be calculated with points to the overall result.
