Geneva - Post Report Question and Answers

Are local sports classes and/or activities available for kids?

Our school has an entire book of extra curricular activities, but most cost money 300-400 per semester. Things like soccer, one time per week, is maybe 300/year. - Jun 2022


Of course. - Jul 2018


Yes. My only experience is with gymnastics and soccer for the 2+ crowd but every kid I know is involved in something. - Mar 2014


Mainly winter sports and hiking. - Mar 2014


Yes. In Geneva they have a very well developed sports program for children as well as camps during the school vacations. In neighboring France, each village has sports teams. - Mar 2013


Not at school. But if your child speaks French, you can find a local team easily. My kids do not speak French, so there is almost nothing for them. It's a big problem. Very bad. And it was so unexpected too! I figured it would be fine here. It's not. But that's mostly because I'm used to the schools providing those opportunities, and the international schools here simply do not. - Feb 2012


I have seen soccer and snow sports for kids. - Jul 2009
