“We believe that school sport should be about having fun together. “The motto of the Association of School Sports Clubs of the Czech Republic is guided by the principle of enjoyable and inclusive sport.

The event is broadcast by national Czech sports television and commentated by professional reporters and sports experts. Each competition also has a sports ambassador who is present during the competition to support and interact with the youth.
Every school year, over 150,000 students participate in the School Sports Leagues of upper secondary schools. kids. The plan of AŠSK ?R is to include this high-quality project in other age categories – for children in primary schools and students in secondary schools.
