Sports and Exercise

There are three categories of activities that are eligible for a grant.

Category 1 covers activities aimed at promoting and supporting:

• Youth Sports;
• Sports leadership (for example, strengthening the volunteer efforts of coaches or board members);
• Adapted sports (for example, developing sports programs for residents with disabilities);
• Sports events/tournaments);
• (School) sports activities and sports projects (other than school sports tournaments or programs to expand sports offerings);
• Sports activities for specific groups (for example, sports groups for older adults).

Category 2 covers activities aimed at expanding the range of sports and physical activity programs currently offered by the sports club. The grant is intended to ensure that organized sports remain viable and dynamic for the future.

Category 3 covers activities related to the organization of school sports tournaments in Voorschoten by schools or sports clubs. A tournament is organized in collaboration with at least one sports club from Voorschoten. We define an event as a tournament if at least two different elementary schools participate.

Problems Using DigiD

Please note that due to a nationwide security measure, you may encounter technical issues when submitting your application using DigiD. We therefore recommend that you submit your application via eHerkenning.

What's the problem with DigiD?

The application form has multiple pages. If you pause for a moment and there is no activity detected for a while, the message “Extend session” will appear on the screen. However, due to security measures, this does not work properly. As a result, you will need to log in again with DigiD.

You won't lose any data if you save the form as you go, but it will take you extra time and effort.
