The third element of the City of Turku’s sports grant system reform is the new support for competence and development targeted at sports clubs, which aims to ensure high-quality coaching in all sports clubs and associations in Turku.
The City of Turku is reforming grants related to sports and the pricing of the use of sports facilities. The reforms will be introduced in 2025. The aim is to promote the well-being of children and young people through physical activities, to support hobbyists of different sports more equally than at present and to control the increase in the costs of hobbies.
From 2025 onwards, Turku is the first in Finland to introduce a sports grant for children and young people: Each year, the City of Turku gives all Turku residents aged 7–19 years a voucher for the fees of regular, guided sports hobby activities organised by sports clubs and associations in Turku!
Free hobbies and clubs in Turku comprehensive schools and their neighbouring areas have been put together in school-specific hobby schedules.
School clubs are mainly intended for pupils of the school in question and are free of charge, unless otherwise stated. Changes are possible. Most of the schedules are only available in Finnish and Swedish.
