Ideas sought for more exercise in the municipality
In the municipality of Drechterland, residents, sports clubs, and organizations are working together to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. This is being done through the Sportakkoord Drechterland (Sports Agreement Drechterland). This agreement includes a budget for local initiatives that encourage residents to exercise more and sustainably.
The Sportakkoord is open to anyone with a good idea. Think of new sports activities, initiatives for specific target groups, or improving sports and exercise locations in the neighborhood. The goal is to get as many residents moving—and keep them moving.
Who is the Sportakkoord for?
The Sportakkoord focuses, among other things, on groups that currently exercise less, such as children aged 5 to 12 and residents aged 55 and older. It also emphasizes developing skills so that people can exercise and participate in sports with more enjoyment and confidence.
What kind of initiatives are possible?
- New sports and exercise activities
- Projects that make sports more accessible
- Initiatives that contribute to safe and attractive sports locations
Inspiring examples of initiatives in Drechterland can be found on the Sportakkoord website.

The implementation of the Sportakkoord is handled by a local core team consisting of involved volunteers and professionals from the field. The municipality of Drechterland supports this by providing funding through the national scheme (Brede SPUK – GALA and Sportakkoord II). Team Sportservice coordinates the implementation.
