Multi-sport for kids in Oslo

11 options are listed under multi-sport for children in Oslo, across 7 districts, for ages 3 to 12. Below is the full overview with age, district and a link to sign-up.

Districts with an offering: Frogner, Grorud, Nordre Aker, Sagene, St. Hanshaugen, Søndre Nordstrand, Vestre Aker.

Multi-sport is one hour a week where children try different sports through the year: some weeks gymnastics, then ball games, then athletics, then something else entirely. It is run by the neighbourhood sports club, and is designed for children who want to start something without knowing what.

The age range is deliberately narrow. Multi-sport is in practice an offering from age three up to around twelve, and most move on to a single sport during primary school. That is exactly the point: multi-sport is meant to be a start, not a destination.

Worth knowing about multi-sport

This is the cheapest option in the catalogue after the youth clubs. The fee is low, equipment is borrowed or unnecessary, and training usually takes place in the local school gym.

Use the year to see what lights the child up. The point of switching sport every month is not the variety itself, but that you both learn what resonates before signing up for something that lasts a whole term.

Røa Allianseidrettslag welcomes the very youngest to Barnegym in Røahallen, for boys and girls aged three to five.

One of the city's broadest neighbourhood offerings for the youngest.

ages 3-12

Sagene IF Allidrett

Allidrett

Bjølsenhallen og skolene på Sagene, Sagene

All-round sports for the youngest children at one of the city's large grassroots clubs: they get to try many different sports through play, with the emphasis on motor skills and the joy of moving rather than competition. Groups are split by birth year, with separate sessions for four- and five-year-olds, and a new cohort joins in the new year. The club's own page lists which birth years apply right now. Sessions run one afternoon a week at Nordpolen, Bentsebrua or Fernanda Nissen schools, or in Bjølsenhallen, so most families in Sagene have a short walk. The club runs on volunteers and expects parents to pitch in.

ages 4-5

Allidrett

Njårdhallen, Slemdal, Vestre Aker

All-round sports for children at Njård, one of the largest clubs in the west of the city, based at Njårdhallen in Slemdal.
