Instructions for applying

If matches and tournaments are organized at times other than reserved training sessions, you must apply for them separately. For other events, you must always apply separately for a use shift and an area use permit.

Use shifts are applied for with a premises use shift application, to which attachments can be added if necessary. Applications received in other ways will not be processed. 

We primarily send decisions about shifts by email, so please make sure the email address is correct.

You can also apply for shifts outside of these applications using the application form, but for example, you cannot apply for a standard shift for the upcoming season in advance, but joint applications are prioritized when assigning shifts.

Safety for everyone!

We want our operations to be responsible in terms of fire and rescue issues related to the premises of sports venues, from the point of view of the safe exercise of both children and young people as well as adult users. That's why it's important to follow the rules of the farm in question and familiarize yourself with the rescue plan. Each booker is responsible for his own turn.

The persons in charge of the visiting clubs / groups / users must familiarize themselves with the rescue plan of the property to be visited from the attached link before the event. After this, those in charge of standard shifts and event organizers must confirm familiarization with the plan in the electronic rescue plan with their own confirmation.

Thank you for a safe hobby!
