Join the Puffins and find your place.

Join the Puffins whether you are an experienced cricketer, a complete beginner or someone who wants to support a welcoming sports community in Iceland. Kópavogur Puffins combines competitive ambition with a team-first culture, and every new member is encouraged to contribute at a level that suits their experience.

What players can expect

Training covers the fundamentals that help a team improve together: batting, bowling, fielding, fitness, communication and match awareness. Experienced players can prepare for domestic competition, while beginners can learn safely from teammates who understand that cricket takes time. Indoor winter sessions and outdoor summer cricket keep the club active throughout the Icelandic year.

Before joining a match squad, new players should attend training, meet the group and discuss their availability. Selection depends on competition rules, registration, form, balance and commitment. Being part of the club also means respecting teammates, opponents, officials and the volunteers who make every fixture possible.

More ways to join the Puffins

You do not need to play to become part of the flock. Volunteers can help with scoring, photography, social media, events, transport and match-day organisation. Supporters create atmosphere and help new people feel welcome. Potential partners can visit our Partners page to understand how sponsorship supports equipment, tours and club development.

Before your first session

Bring suitable sports clothing, clean indoor shoes when training inside, water and any personal cricket equipment you already own. If you do not have equipment, mention that in your message so the club can explain what may be available. Arrive early enough to meet the group and understand the session safely.

• Tell us whether you bat, bowl, keep wicket or are still discovering your role.
• Share any previous club or competition experience.
• Ask questions about registration, training and seasonal availability.
• Follow official Iceland Cricket information for the wider game.

The simplest way to begin is to send one clear message. Join the Puffins for serious cricket, supportive teammates and a club culture built to help people feel part of Kópavogur. We cannot promise every ball will behave, but we can promise a friendly welcome and an honest explanation of the next step. Members are encouraged to communicate clearly, support team activities and keep learning throughout the season. Those habits help every training session become more useful for beginners and established players alike.

Your first message

When you contact the club, include your name, cricket experience, preferred role and general availability. If you are new to the sport, simply say so—beginners are welcome. Join the Puffins with curiosity, respect and a willingness to learn, and we will help you understand the next suitable step.
