Beachvolleyball

As Cuxhaven is located near the North Sea, it’s of course possible to do some water-sports like kiting, wind-surfing or canoeing along the beach.

Football

The most popular sport is football. The city of Cuxhaven itself has three football-clubs (Rot-Weiss, Eintracht, Grodener SV) and there are a lot more in the whole region of Cuxhaven.

There are also inner-city and inner-school competitions in different sports.

Most of these activities take place in the afternoon, so it is easy for pupils to join them without getting problems with their time for school. Usually the clubs meet about two times a week for their training and if you take football for example there are weekly matches. A lot of trainers do their jobs on an honorary basis, especially in the youth-section.
