These include alpine skiing, track and field, cross country skiing, ski jumping, orienteering, volleyball, football, team handball, kayak, and biathlon.[1]

Football

Its football section is one of Norway's largest, with the senior women's team annually contending for the national title for many years, until it was moved. The men's team plays in Adeccoligaen from 2011.
