SAFE SPORTING CLIMATE

Basketball is emotion and passion. Basketball leads to friendship and respect; and first and foremost: basketball is fun to play and fun to watch! The NBB; together with the Ministry of Health, Well-Being and Sports; Sporting association NOC*NSF and the other sporting organisations; thinks that sports should be able to be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Together with the clubs the NBB aims for a sporting climate where every individual feels good and safe, and where they can be themselves. This ambition is told and applied in the programme “Towards a safer sporting climate” (VSK). The aim of this is to stimulate positive behaviour, and to tackle negative behaviour in and around the sport. The programme gives our club the support and tools to go from a good to a great club.

NIEUW Generation, just like the NBB, has a few values at its core: Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Acceptance and Respect (STAR). We happily add one more important value onto this: Fun! All these values will be the guidelines to which we continue to form a fun and sociable club. More information on the VSK Project can be read on the NBB website.
