Even though the school year has only just begun, it’s already time to look ahead to the fall break! We are organizing mini camps for our youngest players from Monday to Wednesday, both in the morning and afternoon.

More information on camp for competitive players will be sent later!

- When one of Finland’s largest and most successful badminton clubs refreshes its brand identity, it takes a big team of volunteers to make it happen. The work has been guided by the club’s core values — community, courage, and human‑centredness — and the result will hopefully make these visible to both current and future members, emphasizes Tapion Sulka’s Executive Director Tarja Arkio.

In renewing the brand identity, special attention was paid to the fact that of the club’s more than 700 members, about 450 are under 18 years old. The club’s communications committee took on a major and responsible role in the process, and the bold first drafts by social‑media communicators Lumia Schmidt and Sara Sundelin gave the project a dynamic start. Various stages of the process involved both the club’s board and external design and consulting support. The club’s summer employee Alicia Gras was responsible for updating the club’s materials.

Tapion Sulka’s original, freehand‑drawn feather has been simplified and complemented with several feathers — symbolizing the club’s sense of community and human‑centred approach. The traditional, also hand‑drawn club name has been modernized with a slightly lighter font and given space around it — room to act boldly, in line with the club’s values.

The new logo and brand identity were unveiled at the club’s 66th anniversary celebration on August 25. The club is updating its website, social‑media accounts, and the look of the Esport hall to match the new brand. At the same time, the club shirt was redesigned in collaboration with its long‑time partner FZ FORZA, now part of Sports Group Denmark. The new club shirts can be ordered from the website at a campaign price until September 15, after which they will be available at the regular price. A hoodie, pants, and competition shirt have also been selected from FZ FORZA’s new collection.

Welcome to play in one of the largest badminton clubs in Finland!

Tapion Sulka will start the fall season as planned on Monday, 10 August. Espoon Tennistuki ry, the organisation behind our home hall Esport Center, has been declared bankrupt, and the estate administrator has taken control of the facilities and arrangements. The hall will be open as of Saturday 8th of August.

During Tapion Sulka’s autumn season 2026, we offer hobby groups for everyone from beginners to competitive players, from Monday to Friday! The hobby group season starts on 10 August and continues until 18 December. We have renewed the skill levels for both junior and adult hobby groups, and the levels in use are Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced. The junior age groups for the season are 8–11, 11–14, and 14–17 years.

In addition, the youngest players can join Minisulkis (ages 6–8) and Family Badminton (ages 4–6). For adults, we offer familiar favourites such as Medium Intensity and High Intensity sessions! Short courses will also continue in the autumn. A new addition this year is the Senior Badminton morning group — more information coming soon! All hobby groups train at Esport Center, right next to the Urheilupuisto metro station.

And once again next season, members can take part in the club’s monthly ranking tournaments. Welcome to one of the largest badminton communities in Finland!

Groups and registration

Tapion Sulka’s office will be closed from 23 June to 10 July and from 16 to 28 July. We will respond to all info@tapionsulka.fi messages in mid-July and after the holiday period - apologies for possible delays.
