About Cricket in Denmark

5 clubs play cricket in Denmark: Boldklubben FREM Cricket, Esbjerg Cricket Klub, Herning Cricket Club, Ikast-Brande Cricket Club and Odense Cricket Club. They train at Valby Idrætspark, Sportscenter Herning and HC. Andersen Hallen. Training is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Clubs train in Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Herning and Odense.

Cricket in Denmark is a small, welcoming and unusually international sport. Many of the clubs were built by people who grew up with the game in South Asia, the UK or Australia and wanted somewhere to keep playing after moving here, so a new face who already knows the rules is normal — and so is one who has never held a bat.

The outdoor season runs through the Danish summer, and most clubs move indoors to a hall over the winter, which is often the easiest time of year to start.

A first cricket session is mostly bat and ball in the nets. Someone throws, you hit, and the rest of the club gets on with training around you. Nobody is put into a match on day one, and the clubs are used to explaining the fielding positions more than once.

Danish sport is organised in foreninger — member-run clubs rather than commercial gyms. You pay a kontingent, usually once or twice a year, and that membership is what gives you training, coaching and a place in the club. A prøvetræning — a trial session — comes first, and it costs nothing.

Meet the clubs

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, your confirmation email is in English, and every club listed here has signed up to a platform whose whole purpose is welcoming people who are new to Denmark. Training itself may still be in Danish — say that you are new and people 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 you can run in and trainers for grass or an indoor hall. Clubs lend bats and pads to first-timers; anything else you need is written 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?

The outdoor season runs through the Danish summer, and most clubs move indoors to a hall over the winter, which is often the easiest time of year to start.
