In Denmark you will find that many children and adults engage in organised sports activities. In fact, almost two thirds of all children and young people engaged in sports club-activities in their spare time. Joining a sports club is not only about getting exercise, it is also a great place to meet people and to build a social network.

Many sports clubs have a website, where you can find information about the club and their activities. Unfortunately most of this information is only available in Danish, but if you find a sports club you are interested in joining contact the club via email or give them a call and ask how you can become a member. Most clubs are interested in having new members and will be happy to answer your questions.

A membership often entails paying a monthly, quarterly or annual membership fee. The size of the fee depends on the club and what activities it offers.
