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 competitive 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. |
