About Squash in Denmark

4 clubs play squash in Denmark: Esbjerg Squash Klub, Odense Squash Club, Sport 92 and Svanen Squash. Training is on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Clubs train in Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Herning and Odense.

Squash asks less of you than a team sport: one other person, one court, forty-five minutes. That makes it one of the easiest ways into a Danish club if your week is unpredictable, and clubs are used to matching a new player with somebody of a similar level.

Squash is indoors and played all year round, so you can start in any month.

A first squash session is you, one other player and a court for forty-five minutes. Someone shows you the service box, the tin and the lines, and after that it is rallies. Clubs usually pair a newcomer with a member who plays at a similar pace.

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?

Indoor trainers with non-marking soles and sportswear. Clubs can usually lend you a racket and will sell you a ball.

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?

Squash is indoors and played all year round, so you can start in any month.
