Reservations for the clubs' sports activities
METKA student unions organize sports clubs that host regular reservations in sports facilities once in while. Please note that sports clubs are not always active every semester.
These reservations are open to all interested students and staff members, and no valid sports pass is required. You do not need to register in advance — just show up! Each club has the right to limit the number of participants to ensure safety. Participant selection must be done in an equal and non-discriminatory manner. The person responsible for the club reservation is required to report attendance numbers each semester. For more information about the clubs, please visit your student union’s website.
Club reservations follow the safer space principles of university sports, Metropolia's rules, principles of a safer space of METKA, and respectful conduct toward others is expected. Extra belongings should be stored in the changing rooms. Indoor sports facilities must be used only with indoor shoes (e.g. basketball shoes etc), or with clean socks / bare feet if required by the sport. Please note that you need indoor shoes to move between the changing room and the hall, even if the sport itself is done barefoot.
If you’d like to start your own sports club, first contact METKA, then reach out to sport services. Club reservations are allocated twice a year. Applications for club reservation for the autumn term must be submitted by August 15, and for the spring term by December 23. After these dates, time slots will be allocated only if there are any available. If an official club of the student union wishes to request a time slot, the contact person must send the following information by email to sports services:
- The official name of the club
- Estimated number of participants per reservation
- Name(s) and email address(es) of the club’s contact person(s) for the sports reservation
- Preferred location for the reservation: campus and room/space
- Preferred time for the reservation: weekday and time of day
- Start and end dates of the regular reservation for the respective term (spring/autumn)
