Play field hockey in Odense — and find your people
Hockeyklubben Odin has its own artificial-grass pitch and clubhouse in southern Odense, and a principle that everyone gets playing time. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
One club plays field hockey in Odense: Hockeyklubben Odin.
More than a training session
At Hockeyklubben Odin, everyone gets playing time. That is a club principle, along with regular club nights and a focus on community — the reasons a team turns into the people you look forward to seeing.
The club was founded in 1939 and has been at Hjalleseskolen in southern Odense since 1978, with an artificial-grass home pitch and its own clubhouse. Like every Danish club it is a forening, run by its members: you are not a customer, you are part of the club. Indoor hockey over the winter is a faster game on a smaller surface.
Odense is compact, and the clubs are used to students and people here for a few years. Book your free session, come along 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?
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?
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.
