Play curling in Odense — and find your people
Odense Curling Club trains in Hall 2 of Odense Isstadion on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and it notices you on your first night on the ice. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
One club plays curling in Odense: Odense Curling Club.
More than a training session
In Odense, curling happens in Hall 2 of Odense Isstadion. Odense Curling Club is small enough that someone notices you on your first evening and says hello, and a scoreboard nobody takes too seriously until the last end keeps the evening social.
The season runs from mid-August to late April, with training on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Danish clubs are foreninger — run by their members, not by a company — so you are part of the club, not a customer. Ice time is booked in advance, so it helps to say you are coming, and the club will have a place ready for you.
Odense is compact, and the clubs are used to students and people here for a few years. Book your free session, ride out to Møllemarksvej once and see whether the group suits you.

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?
Warm layers you can bend and stretch in, and clean indoor trainers — the ice is unforgiving about outdoor soles. The club provides the stones and, usually, the sliders.
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?
Curling is an ice sport, so the season follows the rink: roughly autumn to spring. It is a good answer to a Danish January.
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.
