Sport In Bremen (state)
Sport pertains to any form of competitive physical activity or game that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Sports can, through casual or organized participation, improve participants' physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a ''match'') is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a ...

OSC Bremerhaven
OSC Bremerhaven is a German sports club based in Bremerhaven, in the federal state of Bremen. History The club was founded in 1972 as ''Olympischer Sport-Club Bremerhaven'' in a merger of various local football clubs including ''ATS Bremerhaven'', which has roots going back to 1859, ''Polizei Sportverein'', ''TuS Bremerhaven 93'', and the ''Judo-Klub''. They are the largest sports club in the city, claiming some 4500 members, but football is not their primary focus. Their minor league side currently competes at the tier V level after a decade spent in tiers II and III, from the mid-70s through to the mid-80s. OSC can make a strong claim to being the successor to ''TuS Bremerhaven 93'', which was officially disbanded in 1974. While many members of ''TuS 93'' joined OSC, others continued to field a separate football team until 1977. In 1991, the football players left OSC en masse to form ''FC Bremerhaven'', leaving OSC with just a rump side. The ''TuS 93'' was a quite successful ...
