Play squash in Odense — and find your people

Odense Squash Club plays at Squash Center Danmark in central Odense — seven courts, a café and a club full of people to play. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.

One club plays squash in Odense, with 49 upcoming trial sessions: Odense Squash Club.

More than a training session

Odense Squash Club has been part of the city since 1978 and is one of the largest squash clubs in Denmark. It is based at Squash Center Danmark in central Odense, with seven courts, one of them a show court with a stand, and a café for after the match.

Club play is booked court time: you arrange a match, play for forty-five minutes, and the court is free again. An internal ladder helps new members find opponents without knowing anyone, and the club hosts Odense Open, described as the largest squash tournament in Denmark and the Nordic region. Danish clubs are foreninger, run by their members — you are part of the club, not a customer.

Odense is compact, and the centre is a bike ride from almost anywhere in the city. Book your free session, ride out once and see whether the group suits you.

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, 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?

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.
