Sports and leisure

If you want to do sports with others, you can join a sports club. The clubs bring people together for sports, and anyone can be involved, regardless of age. You pay a membership subscription to join a club.

Gentofte Kommune has about 60 sports clubs. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re into badminton, basketball or rugby.

You can work out in the open air at one of Gentofte Kommune’s outdoor training facilities.

Want to learn to sew, make cream puffs or sing in a choir? Well, you could take an evening class!

Evening classes are a great way to cultivate your interests and meet new people. There are lots of different courses, and anyone can join in. You pay for the courses you want to take.
