Make your club Internationals Welcome
Becoming an “Internationals Welcome” club isn’t about changing who you are or speaking perfect English. It’s about small, practical adjustments that make internationals feel at home from day one. Explore our step-by-step guides based on the core pillars of a welcoming club.
Communications & Visibility
Internationals can’t join your club if they can’t understand your website. Learn how to make your basic information accessible, translate key messages effortlessly, and reach the international community where they already look for information.
Welcome & Onboarding
The first practice is make-or-break. Discover how to create a warm reception, assign a Club Buddy, and explain practicalities like indoor shoes and gear. A great onboarding process turns a nervous visitor into a loyal member.
Operations & Administration
The Danish club model is unique and often confusing to outsiders. Find simple templates and guides to help you explain membership fees (kontingent), the non-profit structure, and the digital tools your club uses to stay organized.
Nobody likes walking into a sports hall full of strangers. Appoint a friendly face from your team to connect with newcomers before their first practice.
The Club Buddy System: Retention made easy.
A Club Buddy is one or more existing members who volunteers to be the welcoming anchors for an international newcomers joining your team. By matching them up before the very first practice, you ensure the international never has to walk into the sports hall alone. The buddy helps translate coach instructions, explains unwritten locker room rules, and introduces them to the rest of the team. This simple peer-to-peer connection is your most powerful tool for turning a nervous first-time visitor into a loyal, long-term member.
