About Field Hockey in Copenhagen
2 clubs play field Hockey in Copenhagen: Black Swans and Københavns Hockeyklub.

Copenhagen Black Swans is the field hockey section of Pan Idræt, Copenhagen's LGBT+ sports club, founded in 2012 and grown from 6 members into an inclusive, mixed-level rainbow team. Københavns Hockeyklub trains at Valby Idrætspark, Valby Idrætspark, Julius Andersens Vej 1, 2450 København SV on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Teams include Masters and Women's Team.

Its men's and women's teams play in the top division of Denmark and represent Copenhagen in European competitions (EuroHockey).
Copenhagen here covers the city and the Capital Region, so the address may be in Gentofte, Hvidovre, Amager or Brønshøj rather than the centre.
The outdoor season runs spring and autumn, with indoor hockey filling the winter months in a hall.
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.
You do not have to show up alone
Some of the clubs on this page have a club buddy who meets you at your first session.
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, shin protection if you already own some, and trainers or turf shoes. Clubs usually have a spare stick for a first session.
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 spring and autumn, with indoor hockey filling the winter months in a hall.
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.
