The Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches’ Association (IMLCA) has unveiled plans for an exciting new Summit Weekend, set to take place from December 10-12, 2021 in Davenport, Florida. This multi-event gathering promises to bring together coaches, players, and lacrosse enthusiasts for an unforgettable experience.
Key Details of the IMLCA Summit Weekend
- Dates: December 10-12, 2021
- Location: Davenport, Florida
- Venues: OMNI Championsgate and Northeast Regional Park
- Presented by: Warrior
The Summit Weekend will feature three main events, running concurrently to create a comprehensive lacrosse experience for all attendees.
Annual Coaches’ Convention Moves to Florida
A highlight of the Summit Weekend is the relocation of the IMLCA Annual Coaches’ Convention from its traditional Baltimore setting to Florida. This move is designed to enhance the overall experience for participants.
How significant is the IMLCA Annual Coaches’ Convention? It typically attracts over 1,000 professional college coaches, making it a premier event for networking and professional development in the lacrosse community. The convention provides a unique platform for coaches to exchange ideas, discuss best practices, and stay current with the latest trends in the sport.
IMLCA Holiday Exposure Event: A First of Its Kind
Running alongside the coaches’ convention, the IMLCA Holiday Exposure event is set to break new ground in the world of lacrosse. This innovative tournament will showcase top talent and provide unparalleled exposure opportunities for young players.
Features of the Holiday Exposure Event
- Elite AA and A brackets for 2023 and 2024 graduation years
- Shot clocks on every endline
- College rules in play
- Opportunity for recruiters to assess player performance under pressure
Why is the Holiday Exposure Event unique? It combines high-level competition with educational opportunities, allowing players to showcase their skills and learn from some of the most respected minds in lacrosse. This dual approach sets it apart from traditional tournaments and exposure events.
Individual Showcase and Clinic: A Spotlight on Talent
The Summit Weekend will also feature an Individual Showcase and Clinic on Saturday evening. This event offers players a chance to perform in front of and receive coaching from some of the brightest young coaches in college lacrosse.
How can players benefit from the Individual Showcase and Clinic? It provides a more intimate setting for skill demonstration and personal instruction, complementing the team-based activities of the Holiday Exposure Event. This personalized approach can be invaluable for players looking to improve their game and catch the eye of college recruiters.
Educational Opportunities Beyond the Field
The IMLCA Summit Weekend isn’t just about on-field performance. Players and their families will have access to educational sessions led by some of the greatest minds in the sport. These off-field activities are designed to provide a well-rounded experience and valuable insights into various aspects of lacrosse.
What topics might be covered in these educational sessions? While specific details haven’t been released, attendees can expect discussions on topics such as:
- College recruitment processes
- Training and conditioning strategies
- Mental preparation and game-day mindset
- Balancing academics and athletics
- Career opportunities in lacrosse
Location Advantages: Combining Lacrosse and Leisure
The choice of Davenport, Florida as the location for the Summit Weekend offers attendees more than just lacrosse. Its proximity to major attractions adds an element of leisure to the event.
How close are popular attractions to the event venues? Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are just a short drive away, providing easy access to world-class entertainment for players and their families during downtime.
Impact on College Recruitment
The IMLCA Summit Weekend has the potential to significantly impact college recruitment processes. By bringing together top players, elite clubs, and college coaches in one location, it creates a unique environment for talent scouting and relationship building.
How does this event differ from traditional recruitment showcases? The combination of competitive play, individual showcases, and educational sessions provides a more comprehensive view of each player’s abilities and potential. Coaches can observe players in various settings, from high-pressure game situations to focused skill demonstrations.
Benefits for Recruiters
- Opportunity to see a large pool of talent in one location
- Ability to assess players under college-style rules and conditions
- Chance to interact with players in both formal and informal settings
- Access to player performance data and statistics
Participation and Registration
While full details on registration have not been released, the announcement indicates that many of the country’s top clubs have already confirmed their participation. This suggests a high level of interest and competition for the event.
How can players and teams register for the IMLCA Summit Weekend events? Interested parties should keep an eye on the official IMLCA website for registration information. Given the caliber of the event and the limited spots available, early registration is likely to be recommended once it opens.
Potential Registration Categories
- Team registration for the Holiday Exposure Event
- Individual registration for the Showcase and Clinic
- Coach registration for the Annual Coaches’ Convention
- Family packages for players and spectators
Is there an age limit for participation in the events? While specific age restrictions haven’t been mentioned, the focus on 2023 and 2024 graduation years for the Holiday Exposure Event suggests that high school players, particularly juniors and seniors, will be the primary target for player-focused events.
COVID-19 Considerations and Safety Measures
As with any large-scale event in the current climate, COVID-19 safety measures will likely be a key consideration for the IMLCA Summit Weekend. While specific protocols have not been outlined in the announcement, attendees can expect some level of health and safety measures to be in place.
What kind of COVID-19 precautions might be implemented? Based on common practices for sporting events, possible measures could include:
- Mask requirements in indoor spaces
- Social distancing guidelines
- Enhanced cleaning and sanitization procedures
- Health screening or vaccination requirements
- Limitations on spectator numbers
How will potential COVID-19 restrictions impact the event experience? While some adjustments may be necessary, the organizers are likely to strive for a balance between safety and maintaining the integrity of the lacrosse experience. Attendees should stay informed about any updates or changes to event protocols as the date approaches.
Economic Impact on the Local Community
The introduction of the IMLCA Summit Weekend to Davenport, Florida is likely to have a significant economic impact on the local community. Large-scale sporting events often bring substantial benefits to their host cities.
How might the local economy benefit from this event? Some potential positive impacts include:
- Increased hotel bookings and restaurant patronage
- Boost in retail sales, particularly for sports-related goods
- Increased use of local transportation services
- Potential for repeat visitors in the future
- Enhanced visibility for the region as a sports tourism destination
What is the estimated economic impact of the IMLCA Summit Weekend? While specific projections haven’t been released, similar large-scale sporting events can generate millions of dollars in local economic activity. The exact figure will depend on factors such as attendance numbers, length of stay, and spending patterns of visitors.
Future Implications for Lacrosse Development
The launch of the IMLCA Summit Weekend represents a significant step in the evolution of lacrosse as a sport. By combining high-level competition, educational opportunities, and a major coaching convention, this event has the potential to drive the sport forward in several ways.
How might the Summit Weekend influence the future of lacrosse? Some potential long-term impacts include:
- Standardization of recruitment practices
- Increased visibility for the sport on a national level
- Development of new coaching techniques and strategies
- Enhanced player development pathways
- Strengthened connections between high school, club, and college lacrosse
Could this event model be replicated in other regions? If successful, the IMLCA Summit Weekend could serve as a template for similar events in other parts of the country, potentially leading to a network of regional showcases and conventions that further elevate the sport of lacrosse.
Conclusion and Looking Ahead
The announcement of the IMLCA Summit Weekend marks an exciting development in the world of lacrosse. By bringing together coaches, players, and industry professionals in a comprehensive event, the IMLCA is creating unprecedented opportunities for growth, learning, and advancement in the sport.

IMLCA Announces Launch of Players Summit Presented by Warrior, Dec. 10 in Orlando
This December, be where the coaches are.
The Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches’ Association is proud to announce the launch of a multiple event Summit Weekend on Dec. 10-12 in Davenport, Florida. Held at the OMNI Championsgate and Northeast Regional Park venues, the three events will be presented by Warrior and run in conjunction with the annual coaches’ convention.
The IMLCA Annual Coaches’ Convention brings together over 1,000 professional college coaches to compare the best practices at the highest levels of the coaching game. This convention, historically in Baltimore, is being moved to Florida for 2021 to create the ultimate lacrosse experience for off-field education as well as on-field competition.
Running simultaneously with the coaches’ convention, The IMLCA Holiday Exposure event will prove to be the first of its kind. The IMLCA Holiday Exposure event will feature elite AA and A brackets in both the 2023 and 2024 graduation years.
With shot clocks on every endline and great competition, it will give any prospective recruiters a glimpse into player performance under pressure with college rules. Looking for post game and off-field activities? Players and their families will have opportunities to learn from some of the greatest minds in the sport. In addition to the competitive and educational opportunities available, it’s a short, leisurely drive to the likes of Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, which means that there’s plenty to do on and off the field all weekend long.
In conjunction with the team events, Saturday evening will play host to the Individual Showcase and Clinic where players will have the chance to play in front of and be coached by some of the great young minds in the college coaching profession. One of the goals of the IMLCA was to provide as many chances for interaction and exposure while players visit Florida.
Many of the country’s top clubs have confirmed their attendance at the event, including the likes of Team 91 Long Island, Laxachusetts, Leading Edge, Baltimore Crabs, LI Express, Prime Time, Legacy, SweetLax Florida, Denver Elite, ADVNC, Cherries and more.
This will be THE event to compete against the best while escaping the cold.
The IMLCA Holiday Championships will be held at Northeast Regional Park in Davenport with AA and A brackets for the 2025 and 2026 graduation years. This will be the perfect entree into these players being introduced to the college lacrosse experience.
“We are incredibly excited to host this one-of-a-kind event that will provide unparalleled exposure for players from all over the country. Bringing together the country’s top clubs in a scenic area like Orlando allows everyone to compete against the best while also getting away from the cold. The chance for these players to attend the convention and learn from the IMLCA members creates unprecedented opportunities for lacrosse education. This is an unrivaled experience for the players.”

2014 U.S. National Lacrosse Convention Round-Up – The Lax Shop
Last weekend The Lax Shop sent representatives out to Philly to experience the 2014 National Lacrosse Convention and we are recapping some of our favorite products and vendors. 2013 was the year of mesh and 2014 figures to be even bigger as more and more companies continue to innovate. East Coast Dyes has been a fan favorite for a while now and we can’t wait to see what they have in store with their newest line of mesh. Jimalax had a great presence and their Money Mesh line should be a very good seller. Gonzo Mesh had Kevin Crowley in attendance and they are introducing a new package for their incredibly popular rubberized mesh. Be sure to keep an eye out for it in 2014. Lastly in the mesh area something truly exciting comes from Epoch Lacrosse and their preview of the Otter Mesh, built from military grade materials it appears to be the lightest mesh ever made and its completely weather-proof. We can’t wait to get our hands on this product, this could be the advancement of 2014.
The STX USA Men’s National team display was a big draw and attendee’s couldn’t wait for their chance to see the new Stallion HD line decked out in the Red, White and Blue.
The Maverik and Cascade booth was teeming with the newest gear on the men’s and women’s side of the game. Be sure to check out their new Metrik head and their women’s line of gear! They also had a great set up of Cascade R’s that are going to be making their debut on the field in 2014.
Building off the excitement of the R helmet there are now several companies in the head wrap companies, notably Head Wrapz and School Pride that are really making waves with their innovative designs.
Lastly, one of the most interesting things we came across was Uncle Rick’s ReLax Hammocks. It is a hammock that is hand-made to look like a traditionally strung stick which absolutely turned heads.
LaxCon 2014 was a great experience and if you attended and want to let us know if we missed out on anything let us know! Reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter @TheLaxShop or email us at info@thelaxshop.

Philadelphia Is Hotbed For Lacrosse As Sport’s Most Influential Leaders Converge In Philadelphia For National Conference And City’s Professional Indoor Team Prepares For Home Opener
CITY TO HOST NCAA MEN’S DIVISION I, II, AND III FINAL FOUR IN MAY 2020
NATIONAL LACROSSE LEAGUE’S 13-TEAM LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS ARE IN PHILADELPHIA
This week in Philadelphia, more than 8,000 lacrosse coaches, manufacturers, and retail providers will converge in Philadelphia beginning on Thursday, January 9 for the US Lacrosse Convention (LaxCon).
Twenty-five professional indoor lacrosse players from the Philadelphia Wings are preparing for their home opener at Wells Fargo Center on Friday, January 10. Nick Sakiewicz, Commissioner of the 13-team National Lacrosse League, sits in his Center City Philadelphia office looking to grow the number of professional lacrosse teams across North America. The City of Philadelphia is in the planning stages of hosting the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Final Four at Lincoln Financial Field.
In the Philadelphia region there are over 25,000 youths competing in lacrosse according to US Lacrosse, a 25% increase for both young men and women at the high school level.

90,000 Sambo was recognized, the motto was updated. Historic decisions were made at the IOC session – Sport
TOKYO, July 20. / TASS /. The first of two days of the session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) turned out to be eventful: ski mountaineering was included in the Olympic program of the 2026 Winter Games, sambo and five other sports became full-fledged members of the Olympic family, and the Olympic motto with more than a century of history has undergone the change.
On this topic
Session of the IOC – the highest governing body of the Olympic movement – precedes the start of the Games in Tokyo, which will open on 23 July.Discussion of Japan’s readiness to compete became one of the main topics of the first day of the meeting, especially since there really was something to discuss – never before had the Olympic movement faced the need to postpone the Games.
To take such a step last year was forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
The head of the IOC, Thomas Bach, commenting on this decision, noted that in the current conditions it would be more expedient to cancel the Games, but for the organization it was much more important to provide athletes with the opportunity to realize their dream – to compete at the Olympics.
“Cancellation would be the easiest option for us: we would receive an insurance payment and proceed to preparations for the 2024 Games in Paris. But we never considered the option of canceling, the IOC never abandons athletes in this way,” Bach said.
The organizing committee then announced that Japan’s total spending on hosting the Olympics was $ 15.4 billion, 22% more than the original budget for the Games. The organizers spent an additional $ 900 million just to create a safe environment.
New motto
It became possible to implement such a difficult task as the transfer of the Games and their holding in a pandemic only thanks to the coordinated work of all interested parties: the IOC, the organizing committee and the Japanese authorities.
The renewed Olympic motto became the symbol of such a well-coordinated work.
- Olympic motto changed for the first time
- The IOC explained the need to change the Olympic motto
The IOC session on Tuesday unanimously approved the change of the Olympic motto to “Faster, higher, stronger – together” (lat.Citius, altius, fortius – communis). “The idea behind the slogan is that you cannot be faster, taller or stronger without a team that surrounds you, both in sport and in everyday life,” said IOC spokesman Mark Adams. “Olympic values are not only about personal excellence, which is also important, but also in the fact that your team surrounds you, be it a coach, family or a doctor “,
“The idea of updating the slogan should show that if you want to go faster, then do it yourself, but if you want to go far, then you have to go together,” he added.
The motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger” (lat. Citius, altius, fortius) was proposed by the founder of the modern Olympic Games Pierre de Coubertin and approved by the first Olympic Congress in 1894.
The authorship of the motto belongs to the French priest Henri Didon – de Coubertin’s associate in the revival of the Games. For the first time, the motto was sounded at the Olympics in Paris in 1924.
New types
The Olympic program of the 2026 Games in Italy has also been updated. Ski mountaineering has officially appeared in it – a sport that involves skiing a natural mountain route with ascent and descent.He was presented at the 2020 Youth Olympics in Lausanne. In ski mountaineering at the Games there will be five sets of awards: two for the men’s and women’s parts of the competition and one for the mixed relay. 48 athletes will take part in the competition.
On this topic
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be hosted by Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. For ski mountaineering competitions, no additional infrastructure is required. It is noteworthy that the leaders of the world ski mountaineering are athletes from Italy.
The ski mountaineering path will now try to repeat SAMBO.
At the session, six international federations at once received the international recognition of the IOC, including sambo, a form of sports and applied single combat developed in the Soviet years. Also recognized were the federations for lacrosse, kickboxing, muay thai, icestock and cheerleading. The sport’s next goal is to get to the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. “Now we will work on this,” said Vasily Shestakov, President of the International Sambo Federation (FIAS).- Right now we are discussing how to take this step so that we get into the Olympic program. Now it is already real, the situation is very favorable. It is already difficult to get to the Games in Paris, but I think there are chances in Los Angeles. “
Historic Event
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia welcomes the decision of the International Olympic Committee on the full recognition of sambo. “Of course, we welcome such a decision. Russia is the homeland of SAMBO,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
The importance of the recognition of sambo was also noted by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko. “This is a truly historic event for our country, I congratulate all those who are not indifferent to this sport,” he said. “Sambo is a sport of strong, dexterous and courageous people. In Russia, this kind of martial arts is a national sport and is cultivated in almost all regions of the country. thousands of people are engaged in sambo on a professional and amateur level, such significant projects as “Sambo – to school” and “Sambo – to universities” are developing.
President of the Russian Olympic Committee Stanislav Pozdnyakov noted that the ROC is ready to assist in promoting SAMBO in the world. “Over the past years, we have been closely and fruitfully cooperating [with FIAS], in particular, within the framework of participation in the European Games. he said. According to the head of the ROC, “for this popular type of martial arts in our country and for the Olympic movement as a whole, the full recognition of the IOC is an important event.
“
The Minister of Sports of Russia Oleg Matytsin also called the event historical. “I am sure that the recognition of SAMBO as an Olympic sport will contribute to the further development of this sport, its popularization among the younger generation and, of course, the successful performance of our athletes in the international arena, including at the Olympic Games,” the minister said.
Russian mixed style fighter Fedor Emelianenko congratulated all sambo fans on this event. “I sincerely congratulate the International SAMBO Federation on the full recognition of the International Olympic Committee.I am very happy for our sport, for all of us, sambo wrestlers, “said Emelianenko, who is a four-time world champion in combat sambo.
New Capital
The IOC will continue to meet on Wednesday 21 July. The main event of the second day will be the election of the capital of the 2032 Summer Olympics. The IOC Executive Board last month recommended the session to approve the only applicant – Australian Brisbane.
On this topic
She will be elected for the first time under a new procedure – without the application campaign of candidate cities.In June 2019, the IOC seriously changed the rules for selecting venues for Olympic competitions: it created commissions for the Winter and Summer Games, which themselves are looking for the most suitable candidate.
Commissions discuss the possibility of hosting the Games with national Olympic committees and governments of countries that have expressed a desire to host the competition, then select the most suitable candidates and submit them for approval by the IOC Executive Committee. Reforms were needed to reduce city bidding costs and eliminate options that would require large investments in Olympic infrastructure.At the same time, the new procedure made the selection process for the Olympic capital less transparent.
With the election of Brisbane, the hosts of all Summer Olympics until 2032 will be known. Following Tokyo, they will first be hosted by Paris (2024), then Los Angeles (2028).

90,000 Rise of the machines: killer drones could attack people on their own, reports Report
The use of artificial intelligence in combat robots has sparked a lot of controversy, when scientists and entrepreneurs urged authorities around the world to formulate a convention on the use of killer robots or completely ban them.
Killer drones could attack people on their own for the first time, writes New Scientist, citing a report by the UN Security Council Panel of Experts on Libya. The country of North Africa has been mired in civil war since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
According to the documents received, last year a Turkish-made STM Kargu-2 drone “tracked down” soldiers loyal to General Khalifa Haftar without an order. The report does not elaborate on whether people were killed in the incident, but it says that if that were the case, it would be the first known case of an AI-powered robot killing a person on its own.
According to the description on the manufacturer’s website, the Kargu-2 drone is designed for asymmetric warfare or anti-terrorist operations. It can be carried by one person both autonomously and manually. The device uses machine learning to identify targets and attack them. It has an explosive charge and is used in kamikaze-style attacks.
Catastrophic consequences
This news is likely to renew the debate on the use of autonomous killer robots that has been going on for several years now.
Proponents of the use of AI-powered robots say they will reduce the risk to civilians and will be critical in countering rapidly evolving threats.
Opponents of killer robots argue that this technology is very dangerous and therefore an international convention should be followed, otherwise the consequences would be catastrophic. Some people, including the late theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, even argue that autonomous killer robots should be banned.The Tesla and SpaceX executive went so far as to predict there would be a war on AI and even launched a project to prevent it.
Opponents of AI robots point out that they are being “trained” using databases that allow them to distinguish between enemies and civilians. However, quite often these databases turn out to be biased. In 2018, the recruiting AI figured the best person for the job was a man named Jared, who played lacrosse in high school.
Last September, Microsoft President Brad Smith said the world needed a global convention on the use of autonomous weapons, stressing that robots “shouldn’t be allowed to decide, participate in combat and who to kill.
” On Thursday, he warned that George Orwell’s 1984 dystopian science fiction novel would become a reality in 2024 unless governments around the world enact regulations on AI.

90,000 Time for eternal values has arrived – SWI swissinfo.ch
The fate of Swiss traditions is in the hands of the younger generation.Keystone
The world is becoming more interconnected and transparent. Borders are disappearing, cultures are mixing, the pace of life is accelerating, and people are increasingly moving to the Internet and social media. It is very difficult to preserve your national traditions in such conditions. What is happening in Switzerland? Was she able to keep her traditions, and if so, how did she do it?

Aarau
Available in 8 other languages
On this sunny Saturday day, the narrow streets of the Old Town of the Swiss town of Aarau were filled with festive crowds, over which colorful flags flapped merrily with their multi-colored wings.
Beer and fried sausages on this day could not complain about sales problems, misted mugs with a hoppy drink and tender meat fried on a real grill, very well combined with traditional outfits, both for men and women.And almost on every corner there are ensembles of Swiss folk music. You can get closer to them only by breaking through the dense crowd of spectators, and the best places, almost at the feet of the musicians, right on the asphalt, have long been occupied by children – the most sincere and grateful listeners.
What’s going on? It’s very simple – we are at the next National Singing and Music Festival, which has been held every four years since 1971. This 2015, this festival broke all attendance records, breaking the bar of 100 thousand.
guests who attended his concerts, which took place continuously for four days.
“Now it is especially important to revive in people the memory of their traditions, to give them the opportunity to relive them again in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. And that is why the format of the national festival is so relevant now, such as we have now, ”says Alex Hürzeler, Minister of Culture of the Canton of Argau.
“It doesn’t matter if such festivities take place in a small village, in a separate urban area, or even at the national level.They are simply necessary so that people can feel themselves part of a single community, so that they overcome borders and reach out to each other. ”
Historical roots
Switzerland was not built immediately. In the first half of the 19th century, representing an interstate union of sovereign cantons, the country was desperately looking for its “spiritual bonds”. Progressive intellectuals of the time (one of them was the brilliant publicist and journalist Heinrich Zschokke) tried in vain to compose a “national idea” and to derive some kind of “positive” formula for Switzerland.
It was clear to everyone who we, the Swiss, were not: we were not Germans, not French, not Austrians, and not Italians. But who, then, are we really?
The problem, however, is that “national ideas” are not born even in the brightest minds, they are created by history. The first nationwide Swiss institution was the army, which became the basis of the most important tradition for Switzerland, namely, the tradition of owning weapons. The Swiss love of weapons has nothing in society with militarism, quite the opposite!
A personal small arms in the hands of a citizen of a country is a visible embodiment of his civil prowess, and in this sense, an assault rifle is no different from a certificate from the tax office of fully paid taxes for the reporting period.Tax payments, direct democracy and personal weapons: these are the most striking symbols of the original Swiss republicanism.
And that is why the Armed Forces play such an important not only military, but also social role in the modern Confederation.
But, all the same, neutral Switzerland could not and did not want to build its national identity only on militarism. Therefore, national holidays such as shooting, sports and singing became no less popular forms of searching for and developing a single national identity.
This happened for a simple reason: by getting together, shooters, singers and athletes had the opportunity to demonstrate, nevertheless, above all, their individual and regional qualities and talents. So even before the principle of “unity in diversity” formed the basis of modern Swiss statehood, created in 1848, it was “experienced” and tested in the framework of such festivals and holidays.
Perform music where it once arose, namely, in nature, in the mountains! Almost every Swiss community has its own musical tradition.Keystone
There are national (federal, “Eidgenössische”) festivals for almost all types of traditional entertainment. The very first festival took place in 1824, also in Argau.
Then he brought together the best shooters of the country.
Between 1832 and 2008 15 more specialized festivals were added to the shooting festival, including the national championship in belt wrestling “Schwingen”, athletic competitions competing in a purely Swiss sport like Hornussen, which looks like a strange mixture of golf, fishing and lacrosse.
National festivals in Switzerland are very popular today. The last of such holidays, the Schwingen wrestling championship, gathered 300 thousand guests and participants, the recent sportsmen’s holiday – 100 thousand spectators, and the regular national championship of Swiss shooters can already be entered into the Book of Records as the largest holiday of its kind in the world.
The most interesting thing is that all these shooters and wrestlers are real, no discounts, amateurs. They do not practice their sports professionally.“All Schwingen wrestlers have regular jobs that they go to during the day. We train in the evenings, ”says Roger Brügger, official representative of the Swiss national wrestling championship.
Any Swiss can engage in wrestling, and he also has the right to participate in the festival, both as a spectator and an athlete.
To preserve and enhance traditions
The encyclopedic dictionary defines tradition (from the Latin traditio, “tradition”, custom, as well as from the verb “tradere”, “to transmit”) as “a set of ideas, rituals, habits and skills of practical activity, passed down from generation to generation and acting as one of the regulators of social and interpersonal relations, and as a tool for ensuring social continuity ”.One of such traditions in Switzerland is, for example, dancing in national costumes.
If architecture is frozen music, then dance can be viewed as painting revived. Keystone
Many, such as this resident of the canton of Aargau, have been practicing this kind of dances for 27 years. Her daughter followed her mother’s example. “It is very important that traditions are passed down from generation to generation,” they say in this family.
And here is another enthusiast, a 20 year old accordionist. “Making music and sharing it with others is what could be more beautiful,” he says enthusiastically.“Actually, we bring laughter and joy to people, and this is just wonderful!” The family in general in Switzerland is one of the most important, as they say in sociology, “containers” that ensure the survival of traditions, for example, such complex ones as the tradition of singing in the yodel style or playing the accordion.
However, there are no guarantees here. One of their lovers of yodel singing says that finding people who are ready to really take care of preserving this tradition is very difficult nowadays, especially in cities.“Yodeling means a duty to perform at concerts, be a member of the club and even work on its board. It takes time and motivation, and today few people have the time to do it. On the other hand, the special manner of singing with the characteristic fast switching of the vocal registers and the alternation of chest and falsetto sounds has not yet lost its attractiveness.
And when you sing in a group, it turns out even more interesting. ”
Indeed, many in Switzerland say that rumors about the death of traditional music in the country are highly exaggerated, even despite the triumphant march of all sorts of the latest gadgets and fashionable formats of consumption of “music content” (streaming).“There has even been an increase in interest in this kind of music lately, including among young people,” says Matthias Wüthrich, music editor of Radio Tell, a radio station that broadcasts exclusively folk music.
“People again want to practice folklore, to do something on a voluntary basis so that these traditions do not disappear. However, all this is logical, because globalization, as its reverse side, always has a movement towards the foundations, towards its own roots, ”emphasizes M.Wüthrich. Alas, at the current National Song and Music Festival in the canton of Aargau, not so many young people were visible. And other traditions are now going through rather unstable times in Switzerland, connected, first of all, with the change of generations.
So, for example, it is very difficult to find people who would continue the tradition of sewing national costumes. This is the story of a woman with a small loom sitting right outside the market square in the center of Aarau. She says with regret that today’s youth is not interested in either her fabrics or the loom.
Is the State the Last Hope?
But if everything is so complicated, then perhaps it is worth turning to the state? In Switzerland, they do not like to resort to the help of the state once again, however, in the field of preserving traditions, there is complete unity of opinion: the state, represented by the federal, cantonal and communal authorities, is quite capable of making its noticeable contribution to the protection and enhancement of the cultural heritage of the nation. We are talking about this with David Vitali (external link) from the Federal Department of Culture (“Bundesamt für Kultur” – “BAK External link”, a structural unit of the Ministry of the Interior).
From fussing in sawdust to a mega-event in the world of Swiss show business. The example of the Swiss wrestling on the Schwingen belts proves that ancient traditions are quite compatible with the laws of modern mass media. Reuters
He clarifies that “in the Confederation, the cantons are primarily responsible for culture, while the federal center plays an auxiliary and coordinating role, for example, in the implementation of important projects of national importance. One such project was, inter alia, the selection and cataloging of living Swiss cultural traditions in fulfillment of the “UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage” ratified by Switzerland in 2008.
In 2012, the first results of the project were summed up in the format of a specially published “List of Living Swiss Traditions” (“Verzeichnis der lebendigen Traditionen”). Specific traditions were selected and proposed by the cantons, taking into account the strict criteria of the aforementioned UNESCO Convention, among which the duration of the existence of the tradition, the continuity of its transmission from generation to generation, and also, and this is probably the most important thing, the role of tradition in the formation of a sense of common belonging to the national community.As a result, there were 167 such traditions in total.
Switzerland is developing and does not stand still, and therefore the very approach to the concept of “tradition” is being modernized. Traditional things in Switzerland now include not only eating roasted chestnuts, playing the alpine horn and visiting the bear park in Bern, but also, for example, the regular events of numerous Swiss biker clubs. traditions, although people reacted to bikers in different ways.Some considered it a rather interesting innovation, while others said, “Well, what a tradition it is …”, because in their understanding the tradition still continues to be associated with folk festivals and folklore, “notes D. Vitali.
Tourism and Traditions
According to D. Vitali, “many Swiss traditions are not as old as they might seem. For example, playing the alpine horn by the time the modern tourism industry emerged, that is, by the middle of the 19th century, practically disappeared from the consciousness of the inhabitants of Switzerland, but tourists liked this music, thanks to which it was revived and found the place that it and occupies today in our society and in our culture. “
So today in Switzerland “tradition and tourism mutually enrich and support each other. We found that almost half of the guests who come to our country in the summer cite not mountains at all as the main goals of their trip, but acquaintance with the national culture and meeting with “genuine Switzerland”. On the other hand, the interest shown by tourists to the local culture is quite capable of contributing to its protection and preservation.
“For local residents, this or that tradition may seem like a trivial affair, not worth investing in its support.The opinion of outsiders can sometimes force the Swiss themselves to radically reconsider their approaches and say to themselves, well, if people from abroad see some value in this tradition, perhaps we should make some efforts to preserve it.
A good example of this is the annual cattle drive festival celebrated in many regions. In many respects, it was the interest of tourists that turned this into a generally ordinary thing into a real colorful performance that attracts hundreds of foreign guests, ”notes D.Vitali.
Unity and diversity
“Tradition brings order to our everyday life, brings a certain structural element into life,” says D. Vitali. “According to UNESCO, traditions give people a sense of originality and continuity, which, in turn, helps them to better orient themselves in the world around them.”
As for the city of Aarau, the organization of national holidays has become a tradition in itself. In 2019, a national sports festival will take place here, and this will mean that the city has managed to set a record unique for Switzerland, having hosted all the most important Swiss national folklore holidays over the past 20 years.
On the other hand, it should be understood that some unified Swiss traditions, in the folklore understanding of this concept, simply do not exist, and that the regions of the country differ significantly from each other in terms of their cultural heritage. “The peculiarity of Switzerland lies in the amazing concentration of such diverse traditions in such a small space with an area of just over 41 thousand square meters. kilometers, ”says Martin Frey, a concert accordion seller based in Oberentfelden near Aarau.
“Even if we take such a limited topic as accordion music, we will see that in Switzerland the playing style and musical traditions differ significantly from region to region,” says M. Frei. The same goes for the Schwingen wrestling. As Roger Brugger emphasizes, it is “practiced mainly in the German-speaking part of the country, while in the western French-speaking cantons, although there are wrestlers, there are much fewer of them. And we are working to increase their number. ”
So Switzerland has managed to preserve most of its cultural traditions, largely by reinventing them throughout the 19th century and stripping them of their reactionary potential.This was facilitated, on the one hand, by the theory and practice of building a “political nation” based not on mystical “blood and soil”, but on a common set of rational ideals of a liberal nature recognized by all, on the other hand, the creation of a convenient biotope for each tradition in the person of sovereign cantons, which are the constituent elements of the system of Swiss federalism and a concrete socio-economic expression of the principle of “unity in diversity”.
