intersoccer competition new

Since it first started running soccer courses in Geneva in 2005, InterSoccer has become one of the most popular household names among expats living in Switzerland.

Literally thousands of boys and girls, aged from 3 to 13 years old, have benefited from their wide range of recreational and competitive football courses and camps, which run throughout the holidays as well as during the school term. All children, no matter what their skill level, are welcome at InterSoccer.

This summer, InterSoccer has organized Mini Camps for 3-5 year-olds,  Junior camps for 5-9 year-olds, and Academy level camps for 10-13 year-olds. There are also special camps devoted entirely to goalkeepers, as well as ones targeted just at girls.

Have you ever looked out onto Lake Geneva and wondered how much it resembles the open sea? When the wind gets up, particularly in the afternoon, it is often possible to see small waves breaking the surface of the water. While they may not be as big as the huge breakers hitting the coast of California, it is still possible to have lots of fun surfing these waves, and get fit at the same time!

In 2013, the Montreux SUP’n Surf club was created to develop a new sport in the region called Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), a form of surfing that comes from Hawaii and which can be practiced in many different forms: on lakes, rivers and oceans.  It is practised standing on a long board, using a paddle to help you move and glide along the water.

Founder, Enzo Porcelli, explained more about it to knowitall.ch,”SUP is very easy to start with and is lots of fun for all ability levels. However, it is also an all-round sport and has many different facets, including paddling and racing techniques, as well as numerous security rules. Whether your aim is to cruise leisurely around the lake, paddle for a couple of kilometers or pick up some wind waves, SUP will meet all of your expectations!”

To encourage more clients to try out its new fitness center in Mies, CrossFit Terre Sainte has created a special five-class strength and conditioning program for knowitall.ch readers.

Priced at just Fr. 110.-, the package represents a savings of Fr. 25.- on the standard retail price, and has been developed specially for knowitall.ch readers keen to try out a new technique for improving their fitness level.

CrossFit Terre Saint is an official affiliate of CrossFit, which first launched in California 12 years ago.  Describing the program to knowitall.ch, co-owner Gretchen Reeves, told us, “CrossFit is a broad and inclusive general strength and conditioning program that focuses on constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement. The workouts are taught in a sociable class setting, change every day and are scaled for each individual's ability and intensity. So whatever the focus for the day, whether cardio and strength, coordination and agility, gymnastics skills and weight lifting, or flexibility and power, our classes always have a personal feel to them.”

Following on from the huge success of last year’s ice hockey tournament in Geneva for 11-14 year olds, the Genève Future Hockey Association are once again inviting hundreds of ice hockey players from around the world to share their passion for hockey in a friendly but competitive environment. Last year, 32 teams from 11 countries took part in the Genève Futur Hockey Challenge tournament, with daily crowds of more than 1500 people supporting the event.

The 3rd edition of this high energy, youth tournament will take place on 4 – 7 April 2013, and will see some of the best young male and female hockey players from around the world showcase their talents in front of an audience of enthusiastic local supporters.  Russia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, France, Turkey and Spain have all signed up for the tournament and, like the host nation, Switzerland, will each enter a number of teams. This year, 28 teams will compete to win the coveted trophy offered in each of the 4 different categories.

Tournament Director, Cindy Burwell, told knowitall.ch, “ We’re really excited by this year’s line up of teams, which includes participants from countries like Turkey where hockey is only just developing as a recognized sport.  But the Hockey Challenge is more than just a hockey tournament – it provides a platform for cultural interaction where young people can create long-lasting friendships and take home with them memories, which they will never forget.”
