Play squash in Copenhagen — and find your people
Svanen Squash is a volunteer-run club on Østerbro with four courts in Svanemøllehallen — a club where finding someone to play is the easy part. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
One club plays squash in Copenhagen, with 14 upcoming trial sessions: Svanen Squash.
More than a training session
Svanen Squash on Østerbro is run by volunteers from among its members and plays on the four courts in Svanemøllehallen at Østerbrogade 240. It was formed in 2007 from the merger of three Copenhagen squash clubs, and it puts breadth first.
Club play is booked court time rather than a fixed session: you arrange a match, play for forty-five minutes, and the court is free again. Danish clubs keep an internal ladder so new members can find opponents without knowing anyone, and a match needs only two people — which is why squash survives an unpredictable week better than most sports.
Like every Danish club, Svanen is a forening, so you are not a customer; you are part of the club. Check how Østerbrogade fits with the line you already ride, then book your free session and come along once.

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?
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.
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.
