Join to our popular badminton sessions!

Badminton is a racket game that can be played as singles or doubles game. A special racket and a "feather-like" game ball have been developed for badminton.
The playing field consists of two halves, divided by a net, as in tennis and padel.
The basic idea of the game is to hit the ball over the net to the opponent's side so that the opponent does not get the returned ball before hitting the court. 

Badminton is an easy sport to start practically anywhere and anytime!

You can play badminton in uMove sessions at Hipposhalli, Jamk sports hall and Sports hall U2.

Bring your own rackets and balls.

Basketball is played by two teams, each with five players.
Each team tries to throw the ball into the opponent's basket and defend the other team making a basket. When playing the ball, you may only play with your hands. It can be passed, thrown, hit, or rolled.  

You can play basketball in our session in the Liikunta building, Sports hall U2 and in the Jamki gym.

Balls are available to borrow for the sessions! See information on page: Sports facilities

Floorball is a game played indoors, which can roughly be compared to, for example, ice hockey or rink ball.

Floorball is easy to start because you do not need much equipment. Good indoor shoes, a floorball stic and a ball are enough! Floorball is played in sports halls where there is enough space for 8-10 players on the field at a time.
Traditionally, the game is played 5 vs 5, but there are many variations. A floorball is a ball with holes, and it moves quickly against the floor by passing with sticks.
The goal of the teams is to get the ball into the opponent team`s goal.

The rules of floorball are not too complicated, and everyone can learn them very quickly.  

Our floorball sessions will be at Sports hall U2.

In the sport hall you will find goals and boards for the games.
If you forget your own equipment, you can borrow rackets and balls from the locker in the sports hall!

Futsal is an indoor form of football.

The game is played between two teams, each with five players on the field. The smaller indoor field means that the players have significantly less space than football, and thus the technique is emphasized more strongly than football. 

The futsal ball is slightly smaller than football, heavier and less elastic, which is why it bounces less.

Futsal is an easy hobby to start, so you are welcome to join.   

Our Futsal sessions are in the Palloilusali of the University Liikunta building.

Balls can be borrowed for the sessions! See information on the page: Liiikunta building

It`s hockey time!
Welcome new and old hockey lovers!

Ice hockey is a team game played on ice, in a hockey rink. In a normal situation, the team consists of six people (5 field players and a goalkeeper) and there are two teams playing against each other on the field/rink at the same time.

The main point is moving the puck sliding along the ice to the opponent team's goal by using ice hockey sticks.

Our ice hockey sessions are usually at the Training ice rinks!

uMove ice hockey ADVANCED session must have full game equipment and own puck.

Popular padel now also on uMove!

Padel is almost like mix of tennis and squash.
Like a tennis court, it is divided into two parts by a net.
Padel is always played with teams of two players.

The best thing about padel is that it is really easy to start and learn. The game is perfect for players of all ages and levels, and it is an extremely social racket game.

uMove's Padel seissons are in Jyväskylä Padel Adder Keljo.

All you must is get a group of friends together and try this fun and new sport in our ball game schedule.  

Ball can be found in the club. Possible to rent racket from the club if you do not have own.

Squash is a ball game that is played in a room. The playing field consists of the floor, walls and ceiling.

Squash is usually played as a singles game, but sometimes also as douples game. The game equipment is a ball and a racket developed for the sport. The ball is hit alternately inside the room, trying to hit inside the boundaries marked on the walls and ceiling, and to get it into the quarter of the court. If the ball does not stay/hits within the boundaries, the opponent gets a point.

You should familiarize yourself with the rules of squash in advance before going to your turn and take the friend who knows the rules. You can read more about squash as a sport and the rules here. 

uMove sessions are held in the squash halls of the Monitoimitalo. It is possible to borrow rackets and balls for the sessions, see the booking system for instructions.

Table tennis is a racket game whose basic idea is very much the same as in tennis. As the name suggests, the table is the game platform. The table is divided by a net into two halves of equal size. The ball is light and hollow and is hit with small clubs.

The aim is to hit the ball into the opponent's half of the table so that the ball bounces off the table's surface and the opponent cannot hit it back as required by the rules.

Table tennis is easy game to learn and start.

Our sessions take place in Ryhtilä, where you can find balls and rackets, so don't hesitate to join us!

Welcome to uMove's super-popular volleyball sessions!

Volleyball is a two-team game where the field is divided by a net. Both teams have six players on the court. The goal of the teams is to pass the ball over the net and make the ball touch the opponent's court and defend the opponent doing the same. The team has three available three touches/hits to return the ball (in addition to the save) to the opposite side.

The game starts by passing the ball over the net to the opponent's side. "Ball rally" from side to side continues until the ball touches the playing court/fiels, or it goes "out" or the team fails to return the ball according to the rules.

In volleyball, the team that wins the ball rally gets a point and get shift to pass the next ball.
