American Turners

Dedicated to

"A Sound Mind in a Sound Body"

The American Turners are a national organization originated 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 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.
