Sokol United
About Sokol United
Founded on the timeless principle of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body," Sokol United serves the Countryside, Illinois community as part of a fraternal organization with roots tracing back to 1862 Czechoslovakia and established in America since 1865. Our organization represents a unique blend of cultural heritage preservation and contemporary community wellness, maintaining strong ties to our Czech ancestry while actively embracing people of all backgrounds. Sokol United operates as an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) unit dedicated to enriching the quality of life in our community through meaningful leisure activities, family-centered events, and inclusive programming. We honor our traditions through annual celebrations like cultural festivals while simultaneously offering modern gymnastics, fitness, and recreational opportunities for participants at every life stage. The Sokol movement has thrived for generations because it understands that true community strength comes from building relationships—whether through shared physical activities, cultural education, or social connection. Today, Sokol United continues this legacy by providing not just programs, but a welcoming community environment where families and individuals discover belonging alongside wellness. Our membership-based approach emphasizes personal connection and community integration, inviting people to experience firsthand the values and camaraderie that have defined Sokol for over 150 years. In Countryside, IL, we're more than a recreation organization; we're a cultural institution committed to strengthening our community one family at a time.
