Children and youths in the club
GT-76 is the biggest bandy club in the world largely because every year the club has around 150 new members, most of whom are children. Children are very important for the club with everyone having to pay a fee for club membership. The youngest children in the Bandyschool (Bandyskolan) are less than five years old. Girls may also play in the club; there are a few girls' teams but the girls may also play with the boys in mixed sex teams.
