These sports were played in Laos. Hmong people learned to play these sports from the Laotians, Thai, and Chinese. Soccer is one of the most important sports for Hmong. In soccer, there are 11 people on each side of the field. Mostly people dribble the ball and kick the ball in soccer.
Soccer can be fun for younger kids to older adults.
Sometimes soccer can be rough, but mostly soccer is fun. There is a Hmong soccer tournament in St. Paul. Some people come from other states to play soccer there, too. This is probably the biggest soccer tournament in the United States. In Winona, some people play for the YMCA in the spring and some people play soccer for the Winona Youth Soccer Association in the summer.
