Winter Touch: We're Moving to Skarpnäck!

The days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper, so it's time for our winter move. From this Sunday, 25 October, Touch Stockholm is training at Skarpnäck sports fields.

📍 Where: Skarpnäck sports fields, open in Google Maps

🕥 When: Every Sunday, 10:30 to 12:30

💰 Cost: Your first 3 sessions are free. After that, membership is SEK 600 for the year.

Heads up: the clocks go back an hour on Saturday night, so you get an extra hour in bed before the first session. No excuses for being late :D

Never played touch? Perfect.

We'd love to see new faces this winter. If you've never played touch before, this is a great time to come and try it. We're a friendly bunch, and honestly most of us are still more or less beginners. You don't need any experience or fitness level, and you don't need to bring a team. Just turn up and we'll show you the basics and get you playing.

Touch is quick to learn. There's no tackling, just a touch, so it's fun and inclusive for everyone.

What to bring for winter touch

We play outdoors all winter, so dress for the weather:

• Warm layers. A base layer, a long-sleeve top and a jacket you can take off once you've warmed up. Gloves and a hat are a good idea too.

• The right footwear. Skarpnäck is artificial grass. On very cold days the surface can get a bit icy, so check the forecast and choose your shoes for the conditions. Turf shoes or boots with good grip work best.

• Water and maybe a thermos of something warm for afterwards.

Come and join us

Grab a friend (or come alone, you'll make friends quickly) and come down to Skarpnäck on Sunday. Whether you're a seasoned player or have never touched a touch ball, there's a spot for you.

See you on the field! 🏉
