SOKOL is an organization dedicated to the physical, mental and cultural advancement of its members, and the children who attend its gymnasiums. It is based upon the theory that only physically fit, mentally alert and culturally well-developed citizens can form a healthy, strong nation.

The Sokol symbol is a Falcon. “Sokol” is the Czech word for Falcon.

Sokols have been prominent in Olympic games for many years. Sokol Omaha sent Phil Cahoy and James Hartung to the 1980 USA team and Hartung competed again in 1984.
