Play cricket in Odense — and find your people

Odense Cricket Club calls itself the home of cricket on Fyn — a multicultural club where friendships are made between overs. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.

One club plays cricket in Odense, with 21 upcoming trial sessions: Odense Cricket Club.

More than a training session

Odense Cricket Club describes itself as the home of cricket on Fyn, and as a multicultural club where people from all over the world and from Odense itself play side by side. It is the kind of club you join for the game and stay in for the friendships.

At club level cricket is shorter and friendlier than the Test cricket on television, with matches on a Saturday or Sunday and training one or two evenings a week. In the indoor season the club plays tape ball fun matches, and kit is shared to begin with. Danish clubs are foreninger, run by their members, so you are not a customer — you are part of the team.

Odense is compact, almost everything is a bike ride from the centre, and the clubs are used to students and people who are here for a few years. Book your free session, ride out once and see whether the group suits you.

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 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?

Odense is compact enough that most clubs are a bike ride from the centre, and it has the widest spread of sports on Funen. It is also a student city, so clubs are used to people who arrive for a few years rather than a lifetime.
