The
most popular sport in Switzerland is soccer .Almost every
village has a soccer club, so have we. In Switzerland the
children begin to play soccer at age of four. There are
groups F to A. The youngest ones are F and oldest are A. The
trainings can be 2-5 times a week. If you are very talented
you get chosen by the coach to play in a higher league. Not
many Woman play soccer. In the winter, there are lots of
inside tournaments.
Ice
hockey is a popular sport too. There are ten teams in the
Swiss championship. But unfortunately there are always
fights between the fans after the matches. Even if there are
more spectators at hockey-matches than at soccer-matches,
only few kids play hockey. At Spreitenbach there are 8
boys who play ice-hockey - this is 1 ‰ - maybe it's
because the expensive prices of the equipment.
