Sports and Prevention
The Local Sports and Prevention Agreement
A healthier, more athletic, more energetic, and happier West Maas en Waal. This is the ambition of the local Sports and Prevention Agreement.
The local Sports and Prevention Agreement brings together existing and new initiatives. It initiates a local movement that promotes a healthy lifestyle for everyone in West Maas en Waal.
We invest in sports, culture, and therefore also in health. Even before health problems arise, i.e., preventively. Because that way, everyone can participate (for as long as possible).
So far, we have done the following:
- We have extensively evaluated and renewed the first period of the Sports Agreement before the summer. On October 30, we celebrated the launch of Sports Agreement II. We need your help to achieve your and our goals, so we hope you will be there.
- We have organized two successful Sports and Prevention Cafés, where residents, associations, professionals, and the municipality contributed their ideas and participated with great enthusiasm.
- A number of projects have been and are currently underway, which will hopefully result in new opportunities for you as a resident.
- We have built and continue to build a large network to work together on an even healthier West Maas and Waal. To do this, we need to know what each other does and what we can do for each other. Even if it sometimes seems minimal or, conversely, huge, every contribution is valuable.
Below are the projects completed to date:
- No jump volleyball at Isala '77
- Promoting sports by focusing on the World Shuffleboard Championship in September
- Educational workshops on motor development in young children aged 0-4 years
And we hope that this list will grow even longer.
