TSG 1881 Sprockhövel is a German football club based in Sprockhövel, North Rhine-Westphalia. With over 3,000 members, TSG is the largest sport club in the town and includes departments for athletics, badminton, basketball, Budo, dance, gymnastics, handball, swimming, table tennis, tennis, triathlon, volleyball, and various fitness activities.
The roots of the club go back to the establishment in 1881 of Turngemeinde Sprockhövel which later became Turnverein Sprockhövel. In 1938, TV merged with Sportverein Sprockhövel, which was formed in 1907 and re-named Athene Sprockhövel in 1909, to create the current day club. Between 1922 and 1927 the team played in the highest level regional league where it faced sides such Schalke 04, MSV Duisburg, and Borussia Dortmund.
TSG spent several decades in lower tier local play until a series of promotions; first to the Landesliga (VI) in 1996, the Verbandsliga Westfalen Südwest (V) in 1997, and to the Oberliga Westfalen (IV) for the first time in 2000. Since then the club has played as an elevator side, moving up and down frequently between fourth and fifth tier play, and last won promtion to the Oberliga in 2007.
