Abstract
We aimed at identifying how was organised the first sports associations in Teutonia city at the State of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). In order to do so, we used historical documents on the clubs. A context of war enabled a group of German immigrants creating the first sports club to practise shooting, and other traditional practices were included into associations—e.g. bowling, gymnastic, track and field, and cycling. When the territorial wars finished, clubs kept the German custom, but the German immigrants were chased during the Second World War and the Estado Novo (New State) in Brazil. It impacted on clubs, weakening the traditional German sports and including other practices—e.g. football, volleyball and basketball. Keywords: Clubs - History of Sport - Ethnic Identities
