Polish Falcons of America

The Polish Falcons of America (Polish: Sokoły Polskie Ameryki) is a nonprofit fraternal benefit society, with a strong emphasis on physical fitness.

Its goal was to regenerate the Polish nation through physical fitness.

The first "nest" in the United States was founded in 1887 in Chicago by Felix Pietrowicz.

On May 1 of that year the Alliance of Polish Turners in the United States of America was charted in Chicago as a national organization of the falcon movement in the United States.
