History
The drawing of CBS Sport as an organization started as a swift thought in an informal brainstorm regarding the campus environment at CBS. The brainstorm didn’t stop before the first drawing of an organizational structure had been made in the autumn of 2005. As the plan was presented for the diversity committee at CBS the demand of sports had already prompted the start of a women’s handball team – CBS Handball As diversity were positive to both the founding of CBS Sport and the women’s handball team a trip to Aarhus to visit ASB Sport (Aarhus School of Business Sport) and AUS (Aarhus University Sport) was granted. The trip to Aarhus was a great success and brought home were a lot of ideas, enthusiasm, contacts and advices about possible pitfalls. Especially the meeting with the founders of ASB Sport – which is only a few years old – was a fulfilling experience.
After returning to Copenhagen the final drawing of CBS Sport was done in cooperation between the three teams CBS Handball (female), CBS Basketball (male) and FC Internationale (male - now known as CBS Football).
CBS Sport was then officially established on March 30, 2006 when the first General Meeting took place. At Sidevognen, Dalgas Have the first board was elected containing 7 members; Chairman, Cashier, Head of Communications, Head of Events, Head of Football, Head of Basketball, Head of Handball.As of September 2006 CBS Sport had tree football teams (two male, one female), two handball teams (one male, one female) and two basketball teams (both male). Besides that CBS Sport was involved in a bunch of other small sport activities mainly for the students and employees to join.
