I want to do sport
No matter your heritage, religion, residence permit, gender or age - everyone is welcome at SPORTEGRATION trainings. Because sport goes beyond language barriers and borders between countries. Get active and do sport with us!
SPORTEGRATION prioritizes diversity! With our wide range of sports classes, we offer you a great variety of different sports every week. Are you a fan of endurance sports? Then go all out in our fitboxing and running training! Do you prefer playing in a team? Then get stuck in with your teammates in our football, basketball or volleyball training! We can guarantee that you will find whatever you are looking for.
We make you sweat in our training sessions. But SPORTEGRATION is not just about exercise: The focus is on fun and a sense of belonging. Our courses thrive on a relaxed atmosphere, respectful interaction and a tangible sense of togetherness! You'll make new contacts and friends in no time at all.
Our offer should be as low-threshold as possible: Refugees train free of charge and locals for a symbolic donation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sign up?
You can simply go along to our trainings spontaneously (except if we explicitly require a registration). It is helpful, however, to join our Whatsapp-Chats and to let us know there that you are joining a training session. This lets our coaches know who will be there.
How much does the training cost?
Refugees train for free at SPORTEGRATION. Natives and expats, who have a regular income, are welcome to train with us for a symbolic donation of CHF 10 per training session.
What do I have to take with me?
The dress code for every training can be found on the timetable. However, comfortable clothes and shoes are always important!

At SPORTEGRATION Abdullah has been given the nickname «Roba» («fox» in Dari), since he is as clever as one. Roba has finished his apprenticeship as a retail specialist. In doing so, he had great grades. SPORTEGRATION helped him find his first accommodation. He’s demonstrated his sports skills for about six years in a variety of sports courses.
