Rule changes

As of January 1st, there will be a number of changes to the rules of the Groningen Youth Sports & Culture Fund.
The most important ones are:

  • Age extended from 0 to 17 years
    We now also cover sports and cultural activities for children under 4. These include toddler gymnastics, toddler swimming, toddler dance, and gnome football.
  • Group sports activities
    A sports activity no longer has to be a NOC*NSF-affiliated sport/club. However, it must involve supervised sports practice in a team/group setting. We now also reimburse group fitness classes (e.g., Zumba, spinning, jumping, boot camp), yoga, skateboarding, resilience training, multi-sports, etc.
