Move your Sport bonus - 10 percent of every Dyn subscription for promoting young talent
Every Dyn subscription promotes young sports talent. The so-called Move your Sport premium stipulates that 10 percent of the net revenue generated by the sale of subscriptions must be used to support young talent. According to Dyn Media, "Each Dyn partner league has committed to investing the proceeds from the Move your Sport premium provided by Dyn in the implementation of individual youth development concepts."
In table tennis, cooperation with schools is to be strengthened at regional level, particularly at the national league locations, in order to bring children and young people into contact with the sport at an early stage, to get them interested in table tennis and to promote talent in a targeted and sustainable manner. With the Move your Sport bonus, all Dyn subscribers who have indicated table tennis as their preferred sport in their account are thus making an active contribution to the promotion of young table tennis players in Germany.
