Sport for children

Even if your child's school organises lots of sport activities, this doesn't mean you can't avail of the many things to do in Warsaw. Kasia remembers a time when there was nothing much to do here. Sometimes she would go on a bicycle excursion with her father, or go to the riding stables with her sister, while her parents took a walk in the surrounding countryside, but that was it.
Now Warsaw offers an endless list of sporting activities - indeed there is definitely something for everyone! Most of the popular sports can be done in the city and across the last year, many sport clubs even started to offer activities in foreign languages. Nowadays English is spoken in almost all the bigger complexes.
