ÅAU Sports Wasa

This course teaches you the basics of safe top rope climbing and top rope belaying (belayer on ground). The course price includes a free 1 month trial membership. After the course, you are able to independently climb on top rope and belay another climber. You will also receive a training card from the instructor, with which you can independently practice top rope climbing and belaying on top rope in Wasa Up. After two weeks of independent training, you can take a belay test to obtain a national top rope card, which will allow you to top rope on all Finnish climbing centres.

If you’re a first time visitor, please arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the course.

The ÅAU Sports office in Academill B430 is staffed on Thursday 5.1 at 9.15-14.45. Then you can come and pick up the tag and the sticker  for the tag.

I will then be on leave due to personal reasons from 9.1-18.1.2023, so then you can pick up the tag and sticker at the reception at the Wasa Sports Club when the reception is open. I check the mail sporadically and answer what I have time for. Back in the office in Thursday the 19th of January.

A new semester starts and first to start is the karate, which starts already on Thursday 4.1.2023. All other classes start in week 2.

During ENTIRE week 2, you also have the opportunity to go by yourself or/and bring a fellow student to Wasa Sports Club to try out the activities there, and of course they can also try out all ÅAU Sports classes for FREE during week 2.

News 1! One more session of yoga / week. Now you can also do yoga (Hatha yoga) on Thursday evenings at 18-19 in the Drama class in Academill.

News 2! On January 24th, a dance course containing 8 sessions starts at Dansschool Kipinä. The course is included in the schedule and there is therefore no extra cost.

8-time dance course organized 24.1.-14.3.2023

In the lessons, we practice the basics of dance styles such as hip-hop, house and commercial through choreography. No previous dance experience is required. Come and learn new things and at the same time get to know other students in the city!

The day before Christmas Eve… The snow is still white here in Ostrobothnia and we seem to be getting a white Christmas. Here is some information about what is going on during the Christmas holiday.

Wasa Sports Club – on Christmas Eve you are all warmly welcome, even if it´s not Tuesday, to the Christmas Body Pump at 10.30 am. Join us and start Christmas Eve in a slightly different way 🙂

Sundays 25.12.2022 and 1.1..2023 is inhibited because they are red days and WSC closes earlier on these days – no Body Pump and no gym therefore these Sundays.

But you can be happy that you can start the year in a healthy way – ALL of week 2 is open to all students at ÅA, Novia and Hanken. So bring a friend and come and train.

Spring term

Karate starts on Thursday 4.1, all other activities start v. 2. From 25.1 you have the opportunity to participate in a Dancemix course at the dance school Kipinä. Something is wrong with the notification, but I will post the link to the notification on the blog as soon as it is fixed.

At the beginning of the spring term, we will also organize a beginner’s course in climbing, so keep an eye out for registration for that as well.

Ski tracks/ices/sledding slopes and Öjberget

Many ski trails and ice skating rinks are starting to be in usable condition. Go in and check THIS page and update yourself on the situation.(it is only in either swedish or finnish)  However, be careful when moving on the sea ice as it is still treacherous.

The sheduele will be updated during the Christmas Holiday, at least the 5th of January.

I will be at the office the 4th and 5th January. I will be away from 9th-18th January because of private issues. I will be back the 19th of January. If you have any questions – send an email to astenkul@abo.fi
