Find your club — and your people — in Copenhagen

Training is only half of it. Join a team that learns your name, saves you a spot and turns a weekday evening into the best part of your week. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.

8 clubs welcome newcomers in Copenhagen, with 121 upcoming trial sessions: Amager Vikings Softball Club, Boldklubben FREM Cricket, Copenhagen FC and CSR-Nanok Rugby, among others.

More than a training session

Joining a sports club is the quickest way to feel at home in Copenhagen. You come for the game and stay for the people: the teammate who explains the rules twice, the coffee after training, the group that starts counting on you for next week.

Danish clubs are foreninger — run by their members, not by a company. That is why it feels different from a gym. You are not a customer; you are part of the club, with training evenings, matches, tournaments and club days that bring everyone together.

The clubs on this page train across Copenhagen and the Capital Region, from the city centre to Amager, Brønshøj, Gentofte and Hvidovre. Pick one on a line you already ride, book your free session and come along once. That is all it takes to find out if it is your club.

Training times and free trial sessions

The first session is always free, and you do not need to speak Danish or have played before.

Good to know

Do I need to speak Danish?

No. You book in English, and your confirmation email is in English too. Training itself may be in Danish — just ask, and people usually switch.

Is the first session really free?

Yes. A trial session booked here costs nothing. You are not signing up for a membership by booking one, and nobody asks for card details.

What should I bring?

Sportswear and indoor trainers. Anything else is in your confirmation email.

What happens after I book?

You get a confirmation email, and the club is told that you are coming. If you need to change the date or cancel, the email has a link for both.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes. You can add one guest when you book, and they get their own invitation by email.

How does membership work in a Danish club?

Danish clubs are foreninger — member-run associations, not commercial gyms. After the free trial you join by paying a kontingent, usually once or twice a year, and that is what covers training and coaching for the season.

When can I start?

Most clubs take new members all year; the season depends on the sport.

Which areas does this page cover?

Copenhagen here means Copenhagen and the Capital Region: the clubs listed on this page train in the city itself and in Gentofte, Hvidovre, Amager and Brønshøj. If you live anywhere along an S-train line, one of them is probably closer than it looks on a map.
