At first, this was mostly random kicking to a leather laced ball but soon an organised club was established, "Skåde Boldklub",[1] and a board was elected.

Later, the team was allowed to use the pitch at Skåde Skole, popularly called the "hen house" (or "Hønsehuset" in Danish).

[1] In 1936, an association football pitch with a clubhouse (today the Marselisborg Hockey Club) was constructed next to Hotel Kragelund.

[1] For two decades, the small Kragelund Stadium, surrounded by tall trees, was the setting the activities of Kragelund IF, until the parish of Holme-Tranbjerg bought six acres of land from Lysenggård Farm in 1955, on which two association football pitches and two handball courts were constructed on the exact area where Lyseng Idrætscenter is located today.

At the same time, a new clubhouse was erected in the area; a wooden house which had previously functioned as a restaurant during the summers at Moesgård Beach.

Then, the old "dance restaurant" at Moesgård Beach was transformed into Lyseng Idrætspark, where the club had its first home ground.

Therefore, negotiations on building a new clubhouse were moved forward, and in the intervening period, outdoor locker room facilities at Lyseng Swimming Pool were used as an emergency solution.

[2] The club made its first appearance in the third tier on 6 August 2017 in the home opener against Jammerbugt FC, which ended in a 1–2 loss.
