Traditional Norwegian sports

Today I am going to tell you about a traditional Norwegian sport!

Most young boys, and some of the girls, start playing football from early on. Some start already at the age of 5, when they start in school. Personally I started playing when I was around 6 years old, and I continued to play for roughly 5 years. Then I realised it was nothing for me, because all of a sudden it got too serious. Our coach wouldn`t tolerate humour during practise, and we would get yelled at for any kind of inappropriate beheaviour.

Most Norwegians take football very seriously. A lot of people quit playing as they grow older, but they continue to support their favourite team by going to see the matches, or watching it on TV.
