Street sports: free sports activities for youth

The municipality wants children and young people in The Hague to exercise and do sports on a regular basis. This is why there are many public spots in the city where they can do sports with a professional coach for free. This programme is called ‘Street sports’.

Borrowing sporting equipment

In addition to the activities offered by the street sport leaders, children and young people can also borrow sporting equipment from these coaches. This way they can decide themselves when and which sports they want to do.

Professional coaches

Street sport activities are always supervised by professional street sport leaders from WSDH. The municipality is also working together with neighbourhood organisations and community police officers. This is to ensure that the children can play sports in as safe an environment as possible.
