Caspar van Dijk

World, European and Dutch Hockey Champion Caspar van Dijk has been playing for top club Bloemendaal since 2019. Together with teammate and good friend Tom Hiebendaal he has become an ambassador for the Youth Fund Sport & Culture Amsterdam because he believes it is important that every child deserves the same opportunities.  

Sports & development

From a young age, Caspar was always outdoors. He spent entire days playing ball with friends in his neighborhood playground and later at the hockey club. "Exercising together is incredibly important for both your physical and social development. Not every child has the opportunities I once had. I want to give children the chance to develop through sports. That's why I'm passionate about supporting the Youth Sports Fund." & Culture Amsterdam."

Successes

I've been playing hockey since I was seven. Soon, the training hours increased, and hockey became more serious for me. I've won trophies with various clubs and national teams. For example, I won the world championship with the Dutch indoor team, the European championship on the field with the Dutch Juniors, two national championships with my club Bloemendaal, and last year we won the EHL. I hope to inspire children with my experience.

Children should have the opportunity to develop themselves through sports. I want to work hard to make that happen!
