VSGF Class Football

Virserums SGF will start a new tradition with ”class football” in May 2023. Class football is a concept that exists in several other places in Sweden. It is a football tournament aimed at school classes. Those who want to try or like football sign up for the class team, and the others in the class come along to watch and cheer.

Between the matches, there will be several different associations offering try-out activities and challenges for all attendees. Children, parents, and siblings will be able to participate in these activities. Furthermore, class football is an excellent opportunity for a pleasant ”class outing” at the end of the school year that creates community and joy of movement among the students.
