The main task of the City of Rovaniemi’s booking services is to organize and inform about the usage times of sports facilities managed by the sports services. The operations of the booking services are guided by the criteria set by the Leisure Committee for granting sports facility bookings and subsidies.
Do the following
Training and competition bookings for sports facilities are primarily requested online via the resource reservation system (see service access channels below). Associations, communities, or companies must inform sports services of the persons authorized to make reservations on their behalf; these persons are then added to the reservation system and can make bookings electronically. Login is done with bank credentials.
If electronic service is not possible, training and competition bookings can be requested using a printable training booking form, available under service access channels. The form must be returned to the City Service Point Osviitta.
The application must include, among other things:
- Whether the booking is for adults or juniors (under 18)
- The sport for which the booking is requested
- The level of play or activity level
- The sports facility requested
- The day(s), time(s), and season for the booking
- Whether the applicant is a registered sports club
- Contact and billing information of the applicant club/community and the person responsible for the booking
Swimming hall Vesihiisi pool bookings are requested from the swimming hall manager, either by training booking form or free-form application. Applications can be submitted directly to the swimming hall manager, Jari Virta.
Booking periods are announced in the Uusi Rovaniemi newspaper and via email to clubs/organizations that have provided their email addresses.

- Regular bookings for autumn and spring seasons by April 30th at 16:00 (includes regular bookings, training subsidies, and rental subsidies from Aug 1 to July 31)
