Registration for the Summer 2026 Athletics Schools in Varissuo, Hirvensalo, Ilpoinen, Pansio and Halinen is now open!
We are organizing low-threshold athletics schools in Varissuo, Halinen, Ilpoinen and Pansio for 12 weeks during the summer, and in Hirvensalo for 10 weeks. In the athletics schools, children will practice a wide range of track and field events under the guidance of skilled and inspiring coaches. No previous experience in athletics is required.
The athletics school can be paid for using the City of Turku’s Boostii benefit (excluding the Hirvensalo groups). More information about the Boostii benefit is available on the City of Turku’s website: https://www.turku.fi/liikunta/boostii-etu.
