Ullerød GF (1937–1968)

During the 1920s, the Danish trade union movement had introduced a new work day structure, consisting of eight hours of work with six weekly work days (compared to the previous situation of 10-12 work hours with 6-7 work days per week), which was a noticeable change, giving the Danes a lot of extra spare time and starting a wave of health interest across the country. Vagn Christensen — a high school teacher in the period 1936–1940 at Grundtvigs Højskole located at Frederiksværksgade 119, who had previously been on the first Danish gymnastics team sent abroad to perform — noticed an interest in the local community and the idea of establishing a sport club, using the school's old, little gym hall as a base, grew in the fall of 1936. To get a better feeling of the local interest, Vagn Christensen and a small group of initiative takers invited a wide range of interested parties for the first real meeting, which was held on 12 December 1936 at Frederiksborg Højskole (since 1937 known as Grundtvig Højskole). Due to the huge interest present at the meeting, a decision was immediately made to form a work group, consisting of Niels Jensen, Oskar Petersen, Marie Madsen, Martin Petersen and Linda Sørensen, who were tasked to design the new laws and just one day later call for an additional founding meeting of a new gymnastics club. The club was officially founded on 11 January 1937 at the club's first general assembly meeting held at Grundtvig Højskole…

The person responsible for direction of the first senior team has traditionally been given the title of head coach/trainer.
