Non-profit associations

In Boden you are always close to a rich leisure time, whether you are a beginner, a happy exerciser or want to go far. There are a remarkable number of sports clubs for the size of the town and a wide range of activities for children and young people who want to try out a variety of sports. You can try everything from floorball, basketball and swimming to cheerleading, slalom, motor sports, mountain biking, archery and e-sports – and everything in between. It’s up to you.

A strong sporting tradition with a broad youth focus also brings success at higher levels. We see this not least in the crowd favourites Boden Handboll, BBK Fotboll, Boden Hockey, but the people of Boden also show great success in motor sports, bowling, weightlifting and slalom, shooting and much more.

If you like horses, you’ve come to the right place. Boden is the most horse-oriented municipality in northern Sweden and the equestrian life is an integral part of the urban planning. An important piece of the puzzle is Boden’s Riding Club, which trains eager new riders, but there are also other associations and actors who make jumping, pony trotting, trotting, dressage and western riding possible.

Here we see diversity as an asset and work actively to ensure that everyone has the opportunity for active leisure – no matter where in the municipality you live, how old you are, where you come from or what your disability is. Among other things, Dance Direction Association is investing in dance classes for people with disabilities, and BBK football and Boden City FC are showing how sport can be a good way to integration.
