Stadspas sports allowance
Do you or your child have a Stadspas from the City of Amsterdam? Then you can play korfball at Oranje-Nassau (almost) for free. Oranje-Nassau takes part in the Stadspas Sportvergoeding (sports allowance): the city pays the membership fee, up to € 350 per year. The scheme applies to children and young people as well as to people aged 55 and over.
Children and young people (age 2 to 18)
Children and young people older than 2 and younger than 18 with a valid Stadspas receive a sports allowance of up to € 350 per school year. That is enough to cover the full membership of the Kangoeroe Klup, a pupil, an aspirant or a junior at Oranje-Nassau. More information is available from the City of Amsterdam (in Dutch). No Stadspas, but is the membership fee still a problem? Then have a look at the Jeugdfonds Sport (youth sports fund, in Dutch).
Aged 55 and over
The City of Amsterdam has a sports scheme to help people aged 55 and over on a low income to play sports: the Stadspas Sportvergoeding for 55+. Adults aged 55 or over with a Stadspas receive a sports allowance of up to € 350 per year (€ 175 per half year) to become a member of a sports club. Oranje-Nassau takes part in this scheme. That means the city covers the costs of playing sports with us up to € 350 per year.
At Oranje-Nassau, people aged 55 and over can join the recreanten (korfball training on Monday evenings) or Move it Mondays (a different sport every week). More information is available from the City of Amsterdam: Sportvergoeding voor 55+ (in Dutch).
How it works
- First come and train with us for free to see whether Oranje-Nassau is right for you. You can try three trainings for free.
- Like it? Then we scan your Stadspas at the club. You become a member right away and the city pays the membership fee directly to the club.
- Then fill out the membership form and tick the box that you have a Stadspas.
Please note: you can use the Stadspas sports allowance at one sports club per school year (August through July). You cannot switch to another club during that year.
