Getting Started
We are committed to making it easy to start a netball club in the Netherlands and to support you every step of the way.
To help you get started, we have developed a handbook that guides you through the process of officially registering your club with the KvK (Chamber of Commerce). You can download it here: KVK Handbook
Registering your club brings several key benefits. It helps limit personal liability by moving to a more secure legal structure, makes your club eligible for subsidies and funding opportunities, and can make it easier to access facilities, as some municipalities prefer or require official registration when renting sports halls.
If you would like more information or support getting started, please contact Stephanie Craig at info@netbalnederland.nl.
