Purpose of the Minnesota Volkssport Association

The purpose of the Minnesota Volkssport Association (MVA) is to promote the public health, physical fitness and well being of the people of Minnesota. It does this by organizing, promoting and conducting scheduled programs of non-competitive, family oriented, participatory lifetime sports, including but not limited to, walking, bicycling, swimming, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. All events are sanctioned by the International Federation of People's Sports (IVV) through the American Volkssport Assocition (AVA).

The MVA meets these obligations by:

• supervising the compilation and coordination of a calendar of IVV-AVA sanctioned events in Minnesota
• distributing the calendar to the public through its member clubs and the public media
• encouraging interest in scheduled programs of non-competitive, family oriented, participatory lifetime sports
• promoting the fun, exhilaration and physical attributes of activities such as walking, bicycling, swimming, and cross-country skiing
• fostering a preventative maintenance concept in health care
• acting as the official representative of the AVA in Minnesota
• assisting in the organization of new volkssport clubs in Minnesota
