Participating in the event as your own team may feel like a leap into the unknown, especially if you have no prior experience with the practices of Sotahuuto. However, there's no need to worry because team mentors are here to help!
Our team mentors, Juha-Matti "Juhi" Marjamaa and Eetu Sipilä, assist those who have started their own team or are dreaming of doing so in getting up to speed with the flow of the event and practical matters. How should you equip yourself for Sotahuuto, and what things should the group consider? Which colors would stand out from the existing team colors? What aspects should the team think about before the event to perform well on the field, from training to gearing up? Juhi and Eetu are ready to help with these matters!

Eetu started boffering in the early 2010s. As soon as he got into the sport, he began assembling his own team, Ajan Kaarti, with his friends. Creating their own team was a natural choice since they didn't know anyone in the boffering community at the time. Ajan Kaarti has a strong theme and a clear understanding of how things should be done. Working with his own team has grown into a journey of over a decade for Eetu, delving into the heart of sports, friendship, and adventures. Eetu has experience and insight into how a team's activities can be developed while maintaining a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
