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.

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.

We wish everyone a happy summer – see you in August, as the new season starts on 10 August!

The Board of Tapion Sulka ry has decided to establish a fund named after the club’s late Executive Director and coach, Lasse Lindelöf. The fund provides grants to goal-oriented club players. Fundraising for the fund is currently underway (small-scale fundraising permit RA/2026/736). Grant activities are planned to begin in autumn 2026 if the fundraising is succesfull.

  • Lasse Lindelöf’s contribution to Tapion Sulka and its community spirit was immense. He coached hundreds of current and former hobby and competitive players and inspired in them a deep passion for badminton. We want to continue Lasse’s wonderful work and, through the fund, create opportunities for juniors and adults to pursue goal-oriented training and competition, says club chairperson Laura Vokkolainen.

The fund is maintained by Tapion Sulka ry and administered by a committee appointed by the club’s Board. Decisions on grants are made by the Board. More information about the fund’s purpose and grant applications is available at www.tapionsulka.fi/rahasto.

Fundraising for the Lasse Lindelöf Fund is ongoing (small-scale fundraising permit RA/2026/736). The club gratefully accepts donations from individuals and companies to support the club’s players. Donations can be made to bank account: FI2322901800029780  (NDEAFIHH). For more information, please contact the club’s Executive Director Tarja Arkio, tarja@tapionsulka.fi, 040 541 0850.
