===Sports===
Many local youths are active in some form of sport or activity, either as a [[hobby]], as part of education, or sometimes even with the specific goal of becoming a professional.

Association football is one of the most popular [[sport]]s played by the male population on the island. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of female footballers as well. Children often start playing football at an early age, and many play active for several years. As their skills develop, they are systematically graded up (or down) in [[division (sport)|divisions]], a type of [[ranking]] system. Notable soccer players, such as [[Arne Larsen Økland]], [[Geirmund Brendesæter]], and [[Gunnar Meling]], started their careers in [[Bremnes IL]], one of the local [[sports club]]s. Former top player and current coach for [[SK Brann]], [[Mons Ivar Mjelde]], had a brief stay at Moster IL.
