The American Turners is a national organization founded in 1848 in
Cincinnati
by German immigrants.
Our motto "A sound mind in a sound body" explains the purpose of the
American Turners. We are
a family organization, encouraging people of all ages to be mentally
and physically active.
Our 60 Societies, located throughout the
United States, participate
in athletic and cultural activities.
Many have gymnasiums and teach gymnastics and other sports to
people of all ages. We
have yearly
national competitions in gymnastics, golf, bowling, softball and
volleyball. In addition
there are regional events in other sports.
