When does registration for spring 2027 open?

Registration opens on Monday 2 November 2026.Registration is already open – choose a group above. The spring season starts in January and ends in late March or early April, depending on the group. Schedules are published on this website.

Can we join mid-season?

Yes, if there is room in the group. Up to the third session you can register as normal for the whole season – missed sessions can be made up in our other groups. After the third session the price is based on the sessions remaining (9 sessions €89, 8 sessions €79 and so on; a sibling €6 and, in Perhefutis, a second child with the same adult €4 per remaining session), and the rest-of-season price is shown in the group details. Register in advance using the form and change the invoice total to the rest-of-season price. Your child may try one session before you pay the invoice – if you don't continue, please cancel your place by email.

What if my child doesn't continue after trying?

Cancel your place by email (toimisto@liikuntaleikki.fi) before the group's third session and you won't need to pay the invoice. If you join mid-season, cancel before your second session. We charge the fee for places that are not cancelled.

Are sessions held in the rain?

Yes. Rain clothes and wellies are fine. In autumn and winter we play in school gyms.

What should we bring?

Your own football (size 3), a water bottle and sports clothes for the weather. Indoor shoes in the gym.
