About us

AmstelveenSport is an organization that is committed to ensuring that Amstelveen residents exercise healthily.

Mission
Have Amstelveen healthy sports and exercise, stimulate and facilitate sports providers, talents and (top) sports.

Vision
Sport and exercise are the means to live healthier, better and together and thus contribute to a better society.

We do this with approximately one hundred people from four business units:

• Swimming pool De Meerkamp: an accessible swimming accommodation where sports, relaxation and recreation come together. Visitors can go there for swimming lessons, free swimming, aqua sports and target group activities.
• Sportfacility: responsible for the management, rental and catering of sports parks, sports halls and other sports accommodations in Amstelveen. Sportfacility ensures well-maintained, functional and hospitable sports locations that athletes, clubs and visitors can make optimal use of. The service is focused on continuity, safety and support of the local sports offer.
• Sports service: the sustainable strengthening of the sports and exercise network in Amstelveen. The focus is on supporting, advising and connecting partners in sports, care, education and policy. Sportservice works mainly at a strategic and coordinating level, so that exercise becomes a natural part of daily life in Amstelveen.
• Sports promotion: activating and inspiring Amstelveners to exercise, regardless of age, background or skill level. The starting point is that everyone should be able to participate, based on the idea that sports and exercise contribute to health, well-being, mutual connection and quality of life.

We are concerned with:

• managing, operating and renting out communal sports facilities, including the De Meerkamp swimming pool
• to encourage young and old, able-bodied and disabled people to exercise
• supporting sports clubs
• guiding sports talents
• helping to realize top sport and (top) sporting events
• advising the municipality in the field of sports and sports policy
