My Discovery of Fives

My name is Louis, I am 14 years old and I live in Geneva. I discovered Fives when we went with my family to the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz, during a trip to Northern Italy and Switzerland.

My father went there when he was my age and learned to play Fives at that time. With my brother and my dad we found some gloves and a ball and tried to play.

When I came back to Geneva, I wanted to play more and my father took me for some games at the Geneva Fives Club. I really like this sport; it sharpens my reflexes and I think the players of the Geneva Fives Team are really nice. We play almost every weekend and sometimes we organize small tournaments.

Here are some pictures of the games this season - we started to play in early March this year. In the pictures are Erki, Filippo, Roland, Christopher, Alex K., Alex v. S., Emma, Bogdan, Marc, Florian (my father) and myself.
