Øvrevoll Hosle Idrettslag

What Øvrevoll Hosle Idrettslag does

Øvrevoll Hosle Idrettslag (ØHIL) is a community-owned multi-sport club headquartered at Bispeveien 69 in Hosle, Bærum municipality, Norway. Founded in 1947 and consolidated into its present form in 2007 through the merger of Øvrevoll Ballklubb and Hosle Idrettslag, it serves approximately 3,000 members across the school districts of Grav, Hosle, Eikeli, and Bekkestua. Operations are organised into seven sport sections — football (including an elite Toppfotball pathway run jointly with Norges Toppidrettsgymnas), handball, bandy, cross-country skiing, baseball/softball, all-sport (ages 3–5), and idrettsskole (age 6) — and the club operates facilities including Ferd Arena, Hoslebanen artificial ice, Eikelihallen, and a clubhouse with bookable meeting rooms and locker rooms.

The club is member-governed through annual general meetings and relies on a volunteer-driven operating model supported by a small paid administrative core. Its technology footprint is built on third-party SaaS: Spond Club handles membership registration, family-membership assignment, group communication, and event invitations, while Easyplay manages facility booking. ØHIL monetises through four streams: annual membership fees (Mini 100 NOK, Individual 800 NOK, Support 300 NOK, Family 1,100 NOK capped), per-sport activity fees invoiced at season start, sponsorship and kickback income from named partners (DNB, Ferd, Puma, Anton Sport, Kiwi, Sector Alarm, Mitt Dekkhotell, Bilpleien, Flugger, OBOS, BDO, Viken Fiber, Nyquist), and event revenue (Hoslerennet, ØHIL Challenge, Christmas market, Fjordcup, Klubbsjappa webshop). Public funding is received indirectly via Bærum Kommune's youth recreation stipend programme and via the Anton X ØHIL fond, which subsidises equipment and activity costs for lower-income families. Distribution is fully domestic, member-facing, and self-serve via Spond and Easyplay, with no outward-facing product, API, or AI capability.
