Join ESB's badminton tournament trip to Tallinn for the Junior Noorte GP-4 or Kevadsuled event.
We've gone on many trips to junior competitions in Estonia in the past few years, and it's always been great fun. During the tournaments, we've had a good time with our friends from the club, shared stories, enjoyed tasty food, and visited Tallinn's attractions. This year, the junior competition will take place at the wonderful Lenne Badminton Center
Parents of junior players and other adult players also have the opportunity to join the competitions. Simultaneously in Tallinn, the Spartan Kevadsuled tournament will take place at the Sparta Sport Center. This tournament is a one-day event.
Come along for a fun tournament trip in great company (Tunnelmia v. 2019 ESB seuramatkasta) (Tunnelmia 2017 -seuramatkasta / Noorte GP)

We'll have badminton training session on Friday at Lenne competition hall around 5 pm-8 pm (details to be specified).
It should be possible to arrive for the tournament on Saturday morning (ferry 7:30 am-9:30 am), but this needs to be confirmed with the organizers well in advance of scheduling. Consider Tallinn harbor traffic congestion. Players must be at the venue at least 30 minutes before their match.
TRANSPORTATION:
Transportation will be managed by taxis or private cars. Lenne Sulgpallikeskus is approximately 10 km from the harbor. The distance between the adult and junior competition venues is around 5 km. The distance between Lenne Sulgpallikeskus and Jüri Spordihoone junior competition venues is around 0,8 km.
TRAVELING ALONE?
Participants can travel to the competition without their own guardians, but arrangements must be made well in advance, and travel permits must be in order. Each underage junior must be part of a travel group with a responsible adult accompanying and supervising. On previous competition trips, a travel group consisting of one parent with several children has worked well.
ESB coaches will join the club trip and assist with practical matters, organizing badminton training at the competition hall on Friday, and coach players during the tournament.
