Sports Beijing is a non-profit sports organization located in Beijing, China. It caters mainly to expatriots, but all children of all nationalities are welcomed to participate. Children from ages 4-17 all participate. Their sports include ice hockey, soccer, gymnastics, baseball, touch football, dance, cheerleading, golf, floor hockey, roller hockey and others.


[edit] Ice Hockey

Ice hockey has the second largest amount of participants, second only to soccer. It has four divisions -- Mite, Squirt, Peewee and Bantam. Its age groups do not correspond with the Canadian nor American age groups. Mite is under 7, Squirt 7-12, Peewee 12-15 and Bantam 15+. These are mere guidelines though, and it mainly depends on talent.

Sports Beijing also fields a team every year in the Malaysia Ice Hockey 5's, Asia's largest ice hockey tournament. They send three teams; a Squirt team, a Peewee team and a Bantam team. In 2006, the Squirt team placed 4th, the Peewee team 1st, and the Bantam team 2nd in their respective divisions.
