GAME Denmark
GAME was founded in Denmark in 2002 with a mission to create lasting social change through youth-led street sports and culture. GAME’s headquarter is located in the country capital, Copenhagen, where the first asphalted GAME House was introduced in 2010.

GAME Denmark is making a social change via youth-led street sports and culture. The Playmaker Program (DK) offers training and empowerment of young volunteers to be street sports coaches and role-models, driving trainings in street sports for local children. The Danish Platform for Street Sports (DK) is supporting entrepreneurs and their street sports initiatives and in the GAME Houses numerous partnerships and projects add to the impact that the houses delivers, like the Urban Music School (DK).

Currently, GAME Denmark runs practices in four GAME Houses and via the Playmaker Program (DK) in a number of GAME Zones spread across the country.

GAME Denmark is also engaged in psychosocial projects, more recently ‘Asphalt Meet-Up’, which empowers children with psychosocial challenges through the means of parkour.

Playmaker Program in Denmark

GAME Playmakers are young volunteers, who want to make a difference for children and youth in underserved communities in Denmark or in the GAME Houses.

The Playmakers help organize and lead weekly training sessions in street basketball, street soccer, street dance, parkour and other street sport disciplines.

The GAME Houses

GAME has four asphalted street sports houses in Denmark:

GAME House in Copenhagen (DK),
GAME House in Esbjerg (DK)
GAME House in Aalborg (DK) and
GAME House in Viborg (DK).

All the GAME Houses, which are known as GAME Streetmekkas, have given new life to old industrial buildings which compliments the urban street culture architecture.

The GAME Houses are both social hubs for positive communities to unfold and multifunctional spaces to practice street sports in.
