Original booklet "Sletové pokyny pro dorostence k XI. sletu v Praze, 1948" (Rally Instructions for Youth for the XI. Rally in Prague, 1948) containing 40 pages of instructions and guidelines for young participants of the last free Sokol rally. The XI. All-Sokol Rally was held in June 1948, just months after the communist coup, and became a symbolic farewell to the free Sokol movement. The booklet contained detailed instructions for youth - exercise procedures, organizational instructions, event schedule, and practical information for rally participation. After 1948, the Sokol movement was banned and such materials became rare documents. The 1948 rally had record participation and represented the pinnacle of Sokol tradition. Rare memorabilia for collectors of Sokol documents, lovers of Czechoslovak history, or those interested in physical education traditions and the last free Sokol rally.
