Abstract
The centenary of the “Korona” Sports Club in Kraków is a great excuse to verify knowledge about the genesis of this organisation, to clarify who its creator was and how he contributed to the club’s further development. The article introduces the topic of creating the Podgórze Gymnastics Society “Sokół” and the children’s football team, which, establishing cooperation in 1923, formed an organisational unit under the name the “Korona” Sokół Sports Club. At fi rst, the history of T.G. (Gymnastics Society)”Sokół” in Podgórze, the beginnings of creating the infrastructure by sports facility creators and the way the society operates, is shown. It continued to show how the young footballers brought the team to life, under what conditions they trained, how they changed the club’s name and eventually got the opportunity to use the sports facilities they connected with the Podgórze “Sokoł”. Two-track activity in the fi eld of gymnastics and sport culminated in the merger of these organisational units. The work was absed created on materials available in the Kraków and K.S. (Sports Club) “Korona” archives.
