LEARN ALL ABOUT US!  SOKOL is Czech for "falcon."
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.  Dr. Miroslav Tyrs 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.

Sponsor a Ride2Camp!!!
Ride2Camp - Success! American Sokol would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this trip and donated money towards a National Leadership Camp. We are proud of our 4 young adults who came up with this idea and gave their time, strength and dedication to prepare and complete this amazing journey. Their safe arrival being most important to us, we cheered them on everyday and couldn't wait to read the next day of their journal. Miroslav Tyrs and Jindrich Fuegner would be proud as well knowing that their efforts and ideals to establish Sokol are still being carried out today! A strong, "Nazdar!" to Matt Carlozzi, Matt Kocek, Mark Beckerman and Stephanie Kadlec. You are amazing!
