About Cricket in Odense

One club plays cricket in Odense: Odense Cricket Club.

Odense Cricket Club trains at HC. Andersen Hallen, Tjørnehaven 175T on Thursdays and Sundays. Teams include Tape ball fun matches (indoor season) and Senior team (outdoor season). Welcome to Odense Cricket Club (OCC) – the home of cricket on the island of Fyn. Operating under Dansk Cricket Forbund (DCF), we are a passionate, inclusive, and rapidly growing sports club dedicated to bringing the game of cricket to life in the heart of Odense.

Odense is compact, so almost everything on this page is a bike ride from the centre, and the clubs are used to students and people here for a few years.

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.

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.

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.

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.
