Girls on the Move groups are new low-threshold sports hobby groups established for the 2026-2027 season, intended only for girls aged 9-16, where no prior knowledge is required and no own equipment is needed. The instructors plan the content of the activities to suit everyone, involving children and young people.

Half of the activity time in the groups is spent doing floorball and the other half is spent doing other sports activities. Girls are actively involved in planning the content of the activities. The project aims to get girls with immigrant backgrounds to get involved in the activity, but all enthusiastic girls are of course welcome to join. The project is supported by the City of Helsinki, which has helped to keep the cost of the hobby reasonable.

In the exercises, the activities are divided into separate age groups, e.g. 9-12 years and 13-16 years, if the number of participants allows it.

GROUPS:

Tapanilan Sports Center Mosahalli, Erätie 3, 00730 Helsinki
Fridays 18:00-19:00 Mosahalli lower court (2)

Arena Center Myllypuro, Alakiventie 2, 00920 Helsinki
Tuesdays 18:00-19:00 court 3

Registration:
Registration opens at the end of June. Register by clicking on the link next to the group place you want. On the page that opens, select the group you want and register through the myClub system. The child’s name will be entered as a participant in the member information, because the child is a member of the club. The parents’ information is entered under guardians.

Those who participated in the fall do not need to register again for the spring, but the activities will continue throughout the season. However, if you wish to cancel your participation in the spring after the fall, you must do so by canceling your participation before the start of the spring season. Cancellations of trial sessions or the spring season must be made in writing by email (toimisto@eraviikingit.fi).

Trial sessions:
If you are unsure about your child’s desire to participate, it is possible to try our groups a maximum of two times without payment obligation during the first hours of the group (or the next two times from the time of registration). However, everyone must register normally and if after 1-2 times you want to stop, you must notify our office in writing without delay. If no cancellation has been made, the invoice submitted is valid. We will not refund the payment for cancellations made during the fall or spring season if the group has participated more times than the number of trial sessions.

Instructors:
Girls on the Move groups are led by professional individuals who work as professional coaches or physical education instructors at EräViikingit. The goal is that at least one of the instructors in these groups is a woman.

Equipment needed:
Girls come to practice in sportswear of their choice and bring a water bottle. Each participant needs indoor shoes. All other equipment and gear will be provided by the club. If you have your own floorball stick and goggles, you can use your own equipment.

Price:
The fee for Girls on the Move groups is 50 euros for the fall term (September-December) and 50 euros for the spring term (January-May).

The price includes one child’s participation in the classes, the child’s insurance, training equipment, vests and guidance during the classes. The above fees include the child’s membership fee to the club.

ERVI Fund:
EräViikingit has its own fund to support the hobby fees of the poor. Those who have registered for the Girls on the Move groups can apply until September 8, 2026 for the autumn term. Those who have registered will find more information about applying in the myClub announcements in August. By applying, a poor family can receive completely free participation!

Start/end dates and exceptions:
Possible cancellations, exception times and the first and last training days of the autumn/spring season for groups are visible in myClub for each group. We will also send a separate announcement about them to participants at the beginning of the season, which can also be found in myClub’s announcements. Log in to myClub, for example, from the home page of our website or from this link. If you have forgotten your login details, you can order new ones yourself or contact our office.

Involving children and young people in planning:
Before the start of the autumn and spring seasons, guardians of those who have registered will receive a survey by email, asking in advance about the wishes of the children and young people regarding the content. In addition, from the first class of the autumn and spring seasons, the instructor will spend time with the young people in a planning session, where the wishes of the participants are reviewed and everyone is involved in planning the upcoming season.

The instructors will prepare the content of the exercises for the operating season based on these wishes.
