Sports in Děčín
Our town Děčín is perhaps not as well-known in Sports as Prague or other famous towns, but that doesn ´ t mean we are all sitting home doing nothing. You could say the opposite; Děčín is a town of many sports, a bit thanks to our principal Mr. Lešanovský( there is an interview with him in the first issue of our magazine), but also many more great people. I will tell you about the situation of some of the sports and also about some clubs representing the sports.
Basketball – is the most popular sport in Děčín, young children are dreaming of playing in the A-
team of BK Armex Děčín( some U19 players too) and the tickets for a match of A-team are often sold out. Basketball is also a sport carried at schools, mostly high schools. As I mentioned before, our basketball club is called BK Armex Děčín. They are respected in our republic, often winning the second place in Kooperativa NBL, our National league, which is a great achievement for a club of their size. Players like Level Sanders played for us. the Děčín team match: https:// www. youtube. com / watch? v = 5nBV5o _ b3HE
Watch a video invitation for
Ice Hockey – is not as popular as basketball and its prestige is also much lower, but it ´ s fun to watch. The team representing our town is HC Děčín.

Then we do have many other sports. Like Aikido, Aerobic, Floorball, Football, Volleyball and many more. To sum up, we are very active in our free-time and are not afraid of sporting and doing something for our health. Obviously, this doesn ´ t apply to everyone! A popular place in Děčín, the aquapark, which is ialways packed with people in the summer.
