InterSoccer, the number one provider of English-speaking football courses and camps for kids in Switzerland, is offering our readers an amazing opportunity to win a free week-long camp this summer for their child!
Worth over Fr. 500.-, the offer extends to any of the summer camps they are running this year in Geneva and Vaud between 2 July and 24 August 2018, including their popular "Southampton FC summer camps", which feature UEFA B / FA Level 2 Coaches from the English Premier League and Youth Modules from the Saints Foundation in the UK.
InterSoccer camps are targeted at girls and boys of all abilities, between the ages of 3 and 13. Children can participate in:
- Mini Camps (ages 3 to 5): for half the day
- Full-Day Camps (ages 5 to 13): for the entire day
and there are flexible booking options so you can book for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days at a time. Hot lunches are also included so there is no need to worry about bringing a packed lunch every day.
A new tennis academy will open next month in Geneva at the Centre Intercommunal des Evaux.
Catering for adults and children from age 3 upwards, My Way Tennis will be run by Monika Maj, a certified Swiss tennis coach and 3-times Swiss Junior Champion. In her youth, Monika played regularly with Martina Hingis, and represented Switzerland at many international junior tournaments.
Knowitall.ch first came to learn about Monika’s activities when she set up her successful tennis school in Lutry 7 years ago. Now moving back to Geneva where she grew up as a child, Monika is seizing the opportunity to set up a new school, where the emphasis is very much on having fun. Monika explained,
"I want to use this opportunity to teach a different way of learning tennis. In my opinion, if you enjoy what you are doing, the more motivated you are to continue and improve."
More about Monika
Originally from Poland, but having lived in Switzerland for 30 years, Monika is passionate about tennis, which she started playing at the young age of 6. With her natural ability for the sport, she received the first of her three junior championship titles at the age of 12.
However, at the age of 15, she retired from competitive sport due to the high pressure of intense training and decided to continue with her educational studies. Having passed her maturity exams and started working at Reuters in Geneva, she soon found the lure of tennis too great and returned to the courts, training with Swiss Tennis to become a coach.

Lots of opportunities in Geneva and Vaud this summer for girls to discover netball!
Switzerland has just won the Challenge Cup at the 2017 Netball Europe Under 17 Championship, taking the gold medal after convincing wins in all three of its championship games.
This is the second time in three years that Swiss Netball has taken the gold medal and Challenge Cup, after victory in 2015, and silver medal position in 2016. The team was composed of 12 junior members of the Swiss National Squad, who train throughout the year, at venues in the cantons of Geneva and Zug.
This year’s championships took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from 3-5 March, and brought together established netball nations such as England and Wales, as well as nations where netball is still developing, including Switzerland, which only fielded its first Under 17 team in 2010.
“We are very proud of this fantastic achievement by our young talented team”, said Swiss Netball President, Emma Connolly. “Netball is still very much a new sport in Switzerland, so we hope that this win will encourage even more young Swiss girls and women to join a netball club and try out this phenomenal team sport”.
