Women’s Basketball Courses

Women’s basketball courses offer adult women an opportunity to enjoy basketball in Helsinki in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. All women interested in basketball, exercise and playing together are welcome – whether you are completely new to the sport or have already been playing for some time.

The sessions focus on enjoyable and energetic exercise. They include a variety of basketball drills, friendly competitions and games. Basketball skills are developed through practice, repetition and playing.

Basics

The Basics groups are particularly suitable for beginners and those who do not yet have much experience of basketball courses. No previous basketball experience is required.

Advanced

The Advanced groups are particularly suitable for those who have attended basketball courses for a longer period or have previous experience of playing basketball. The sessions are similar to the Basics sessions, but the pace of the drills and games may be slightly faster.

Game Sessions

The Game Sessions are suitable for participants from both the Basics and Advanced groups. The main focus is on playing basketball in a variety of formats, so these sessions include more game time than regular basketball course sessions. Games are also played in the other groups, but a larger proportion of the Game Sessions is dedicated to different games and game formats.

All women interested in basketball and enjoyable group exercise are welcome!

Men’s Basketball Courses

Men’s basketball courses offer an easy and welcoming way to play basketball as an adult in Helsinki. The courses are suitable for both beginners and those looking to return to the sport after a break. No previous basketball experience is required – the most important things are an enthusiasm for exercise and a willingness to join a friendly group and play.

The sessions focus on the enjoyment of exercise and include a variety of activities, drills, friendly competitions and games in a supportive atmosphere. Basketball skills are developed through practice, repetition and playing.

In autumn 2026, men’s basketball courses will be available for the first time in both Pakila at Namika Areena and Helsinki city centre at Hotel Arthur. You can choose the training location that suits you best.

Your first session is always a free trial session.

Group Confirmation

Groups require a sufficient number of participants to go ahead. Helsinki NMKY reserves the right to combine or cancel groups if a group has fewer than 10 participants at the beginning of the season. Participants will be informed of any changes before the season begins.
