Dear visitor, Welcome to MTZS Web Site !

Federation MTZS  was found by 7 entusiastic clubs May 9th, 2001. From then on we’ve been growing and we have   34  members of MTZS federation in 2014. In the 2015 some members decided to go out from this federation and again founded new majorettes federation, so we are now 20 active members.

MTZS was a member of EMA ( European Majorettes Association) from 2001 to 2015  and a member of W.B.T.F. ( World Baton Twirling Federation; http://www.wbtf.org, )  from 2003. From 2011 we are members of  IBTF   a new Union made by WBTF and  WNBTA and  from 2013 we are a member of OCs- Union of Spor Associations of Slovenia.

With a hard work and with help of  friends from all over the world our athletes have got skills and ability to compete with international clubs and athletes.

We were very proud that with discipline and system of compulsories, body work and with step by step progress on a higher level we succided to catch the track toward world level of baton twirling.

The 10th Aniversary we celebrate with will to do more for young athlets and their clubs.
