Welcome! LEARN ALL ABOUT US!
SOKOL is Czech for
"falcon." SOKOL is English for a great group of people bonded by a
common ethnicity, heritage or interest. SOKOL has been in the United States
since 1865 and has spread from coast to coast and from the northern border to
the southern.
Founded in 1862 in the
Czech lands which later became Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic and Slovak
Republic), the SOKOL organization continues today in the United States as a
vital, thriving entity. Based on founder Dr. Miroslav Tyrs' credo of "A
Sound Mind in a Sound Body" the member units of the American Sokol offer
physical training in gymnastics and other athletics, as well as providing
cultural awareness and family oriented activities. Sokol's first unit in
America was started in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1865. If you are looking for a
safe place for children to learn personal discipline, physical fitness and
gymnastic skills, song and dance, SOKOL is ready and waiting for them. SOKOL
units offer gym classes and social activities for teenagers, too! Still
feeling competitivie in your 20's, 40's or 60's? SOKOL has a place for you,
too! Instead of going over the hill, you can be going over the vault. SOKOL activities vary from
unit to unit. Most offer a wide range of classes in the gym and some have
dance, twirling or language classes. SOKOL units sponsor dance groups,
volleyball teams, gym classes, dinners, dances and other activities for
adults. No one is too old for SOKOL. Join a SOKOL unit near you.
Become active and you will have a richer life and will be a member of an
organization with close ties to units around the world.
