Training with a focus on ball sports. Develop technique, physical strength and endurance and learn to grow as a team player. Try new sports, in- and outdoors. Great facilities!
Joy - community - mastery
Did you never get enough activity and sports at school? Get ready for a year of sporting joy, development and challenges. Sometimes intense effort and dripping sweat. At other times close duels and trembling tension. Sometimes victory, other times loss. But still always a bit of cheer, laughter, well-being and happy smiles.
The sporting focus is on ball sports and versatility. The goal is for you to develop as a person and athlete, and experience the joy of activity, community and mastery. Throughout the year, you will also gain some experience as an instructor, organiser, official and referee.
