Autumn season 2026: training times
Adult training is spread over three days in the autumn season. All sessions are player-led except Tuesday’s beginners’ course, which is coached by experienced players.

- Thursdays 20.00–21.00: touch rugby at Töölö sports ground 6 (Urheilukatu 5) in October and November

Who is the beginners’ course for?
The beginners’ course is for everyone aged 16 and over, whatever their sporting background or size. You learn the basics of rugby – running, passing, catching and playing as a team – and groups are formed by experience. Sessions are mostly in English, with instructions translated into Finnish and Swedish when needed.
Bring football boots or trainers, training clothes and a water bottle. A mouthguard is a plus but not essential.
Juniors train on Sundays
Kids Development Squad (KDS) training is for children aged 3–15, and all age groups train at the same time. The first month is free and no previous experience is needed. You can sign your child up in MyClub through their age group.
Autumn is a good time to start
Autumn is a good time to start rugby: the beginners’ course, touch rugby and skills training offer an easy way to get to know the sport and the club. Helsinki Rugby Club is Finland’s oldest and largest rugby club, and new players are always welcome – no previous experience needed. Follow us on Instagram for the latest information on any changes.
