DTU Exiles Rugby Club Holds Open Practice in Lyngby

Internationals looking to build social connections in Denmark can try a new sport next week. DTU Exiles Rugby Club is holding an open rookie practice and team barbecue in Lyngby on Tuesday, September 8 at 18:00.

Moving to a new country brings many practical challenges like housing, work, and language learning. Finding a true sense of belonging often takes extra effort. Joining a local sports club offers a direct way to build long-term friendships.

The club welcomes participants regardless of their athletic background or body type. Players do not need prior experience or knowledge of rugby rules to join. Training provides an active outlet to relieve daily stress from study or work.

DTU Exiles was founded in 1968 by international rugby players in Denmark. Today, the club brings together students and workers from diverse background. Members regularly share local traditions like Danish Christmas dinners alongside international dishes brought by teammates.

The open practice takes place on the team's home pitch at DTU in Lyngby. Anyone interested can attend the training session and stay for the team barbecue afterward.
