Play cricket in Copenhagen — and find your people
Boldklubben FREM's cricket section at Valby Idrætspark has roots going back to 1886, and a team that keeps a place for you at training. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
One club plays cricket in Copenhagen, with 16 upcoming trial sessions: Boldklubben FREM Cricket.
More than a training session
Cricket in Copenhagen is as much about the people as the game. Boldklubben FREM's cricket section at Valby Idrætspark is one of the oldest in Denmark, with roots going back to the club's founding in 1886, and it is still the kind of club where a team turns into the group you see every week.
Like every Danish club, it is a forening — run by its members, not by a company — so you are part of the club, not a customer. FREM fields senior, old boys and reserve sides in the Danish Cricket Federation leagues, and at club level the game is shorter and friendlier than the Test cricket on television: matches on a Saturday or Sunday, training one or two evenings a week.
Copenhagen here covers the city and the Capital Region, so think about which side of the water you live on and how Valby fits with the line you already ride. Book your free session and come along once. Kit is shared to begin with, and the club will tell you when it is worth buying your own.

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 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.
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.
