[Oppdatering/Update]: Open for free play summer 2021!

Postet av Badminton den 8. Jul 2021

Hi! Some have maybe wondered if there will be any summer practices this summer. We are happy to announce that we will host free play for this summer.


We will have the following training hours at Blindern Athletica (address: Problemveien 13, 0313 Oslo):

-Mondays: 18:30 - 19:30

-Tuesdays: 18:00 - 19:30

-Wednesdays: 16:00 - 18:00


We will have an attendance limit of 16-20 players based on total hours for a given day and availability of courts during the training hours.


Make sure you can access SiO Athletica's venues by membership or other methods.


We will be using Spond to register attendance. Spond is a Norwegian service customized to communicating in sports teams with great focus on privacy. It enables us to create and register members who attend our events, as well as it enables us to have waiting lists, so one can simply decline and notify the next person on the list if they want to attend. It also makes it easier for us to track who were the first to register their attendance.


You can join our group on Spond here: https://group.spond.com/HZOQZ . If you already have it installed, go to the "Group" section in the app and use the group code HZOQZ to join. Notice that we need to manually accept your invitaion, so it can take some time before you are registered as a member of our Spond group.


You will receive a notification on the app once a event is available for registration. You can then click on the event and click "Attend". You will also see that if it is full, you can click "Attend on waiting list", so when a person declines to attend, the next person on the waiting list will be informed and has the opportunity to join. An event should be available 4 days in advance and opens at 17:30 for registration.
