About Squash in Odense
One club plays squash in Odense: Odense Squash Club.
Odense Squash Club trains at Sdr. Boulevard 17 A, 5000 Odense C on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Teams include Junior section (8–19) and Women's training. Odense Squash Club, founded on 31 January 1978, is one of the largest squash clubs in Denmark with around 500 members. It is based at Squash Center Danmark in central Odense, with 7 courts (one a show court with a stand), fitness equipment and a café.
Odense is compact, so almost everything on this page is a bike ride from the centre, and the clubs are used to students and people here for a few years.
Squash is indoors and played all year round, so you can start in any month.
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.
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.
