Welcome to Tolu’s weekly sports on Tuesdays at 5 to 6.30 pm!

We’ll gather at Kauppi SportUni. We play all kinds of ball sports with an easy-going atmosphere. You don’t have to be a pro of any kind to participate, and beginners and first timers are welcome no matter the sport. On the poster attached you’ll see the planned sports for the spring. “Toivelaji” is a monthly occurring thing based on your wishes. Which means that once a month you get to decide which sports, we play. We’ll hold a poll in Instagram, but you may also present your wish at weekly sports gathering.

To participate you need to have SportUni membership or pay the one-time fee 7€ at the entrance.

Welcome!
