What parents should know

Swedish sports clubs

Most sports clubs in Sweden are run as non-profit associations (föreningar). Parents are often encouraged to help with driving, events, or small volunteer tasks during the season.

Children usually train once or twice a week depending on age, and many clubs offer “prova-på” sessions where new players can try the sport before joining.

Age groups

In Sweden, many sports activities are organized by birth year.

For example:
P16 = boys born in 2016
F16 = girls born in 2016

For newcomers:
P = boys, F = girls, and the number refers to the birth year.

Activities are usually divided by both age and gender, so children can train with others in the same age group.
