ages 8-15

Furuset Forum, Alna

The tennis section of Furuset IF, with a tennis school split into classes for ages 3-6, 6-12 and 13-19. The youngest attend «blue tennis», a 45-minute preparatory class where an adult over sixteen takes part actively alongside the child, and where the exercises are as much about coordination, balance and ball control as about tennis. The club says the class suits five and six year olds best, but that three and four year olds are welcome to try too. From age six the tennis school follows the TennisKids model with colour levels: red tennis on a mini court with balls travelling at 25 per cent of normal speed, then orange tennis on a mid-size court with balls at 50 per cent. Court hire is included in the junior membership.

ages 6-17

Økern, Bjerke

A padel club founded in autumn 2024, based at Økern. It was set up because padel in Oslo has largely been a matter of friends renting a court, leaving those who wanted regular club training with nowhere to go. For children and teenagers the social side matters as much as the game. The club is new and does not yet have its own website. Approved for the Oslo leisure card.

ages 8-18

Tøyen Arena, Gamle Oslo

Badminton for children and young people. Tøyen Sportsklubb is a neighbourhood club in Gamle Oslo where membership costs 100 kroner for the whole calendar year, and that covers everything the club runs for your age group.

The tennis section of IL Heming, Norway's largest multi-sport club with around 5,900 members.

ages 6-18

Lambertseterhallen, Nordstrand

The badminton section of Lambertseter IF, playing in the club's own hall, with its own group for children and juniors aged 7 to 15. Note that the group is currently full and has no room for new members, so it is worth getting in touch before making plans. The club lends out rackets. Two things are worth knowing for families: if your child does more than one sport at the club, the club covers the training fee for the second and third, and if the fee is hard to manage, the club has arrangements with the city district and NAV that are handled confidentially. Approved for the Oslo leisure card.

ages 7-15

Bjølsenhallen, Sagene

A table tennis club founded in 1975. Note that the club is called Kjelsås but plays at Bjølsenhallen in the Sagene district, which is where to turn up. The training fee is structured around how much a child actually trains, with one rate for one or two sessions a week, a higher one for three to five days, and a lower one for those who only train on Fridays and Saturdays. League and tournament play is included in the fee. Approved for the Oslo leisure card, as the club has announced itself.

ages 6-18
