Membership, fees and signing up
You are welcome to come and try first, but after that, participating on HanSu weekly game turns requires an active membership. Registration is done by filling out and sending this web form and paying the membership fee.
The yearly membership fee (from the beginning of the year until the end of the year) is €40 or €25 for juniors under 18. It is worth noticing that this price is equal to about 2-3 hours of court rental with capital area prices and thus extremely cheap.
Participating in a training group costs €140 / 1 h / week / season (spring or autumn), and after that €40 / ½ h / week / season. You can sign up by attending, given that there is room in the group.
