History
editThe club was established 13 August 1906 as the gymnastics club Turnverein Altrip and in 1911 it opened a football department. TV adopted the name Turn- und Sportverein Altrip in 1920. Four years later the football department became independent as Sportverein Altrip. Sometime around 1933 the footballers were reunited with their parent club.[1]
TuS won promotion to the Amateurliga Südwest (III) in 1961 and were sent down in 1964. They made a single season appearance there in 1965–66 but fared poorly. They returned to Amateurliga play for a three-season turn from 1971 to 1974. After two consecutive 6th-place finishes they crashed to 16th in 1974 and were relegated.
Most recently the footballers played in the Bezirksliga Vorderpfalz, followed by the A- and B-Klassen Mittelhardt and are part of a larger sports club that includes departments for athletics, badminton, and gymnastics.
