Introduction to the topic
Main question:
Are there enough sports facilities available for each age group?
Our sports:
We, the members of this group, all do sports as well. In the picture below you see a map of the area with coloured dots. The dots pinpoint the sport facilities that each of us uses.
Siete trains at two different swimming pools, in Bolsward and in Leeuwarden
Lieke trains for volleybal in Workum and in Sneek
Elbrich trains for ice skating in Sneek and Heerenveen
Dytmer trains for soccer in Koudum
Douwe trains for kaatsen in Franeker

Hypothesis
We think that the Netherlands has enough sports facilities, but it depends on where you live. In the smaller villages you are likely to find a football club, but less likely a hockey or skating club. So it matters where you live.
Younger people want a wide variety of sports clubs so that they can choose without having to travel a long distance to the sports club. The facilities are enough, but because the contribution of some sports is sometimes high, not everyone can afford it. That is why it would be nice if there were sports club events that are less expensive or free, so everyone can afford it.
We think there is a difference when you compare the Netherlands and India, for example the sport itself. In India have a wide variety of sports, but think for example about cricket, badminton and football. In the Netherlands there are also different kinds of sports, but mainly football. In the Netherlands we don’t play a lot of cricket and badminton. We think, compared to the Netherlands, they have enough sports clubs with a wide variety.

Sports "we Dutch" are good at:
To see at which sports "we Dutch" are pretty good when we compare ourselves to other countries, we looked at the last 5 winter and summer olympic games.
Winter Olympics 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018
Summer Olympics 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016
Typical Frisian sports:
The people of the provence of Friesland play a few sports that are considered typical for that region. These sports play a big role in Frisian culture and many Frisian teenagers play these sports.
Below you will find info on fierljeppen and kaatsen.
You can also view a video on the "Elfstedentocht". This an ice skating contest that is located in Friesland (tour around 11 cities) and has an almost mythical status. Unfortunately, due to "warm winters" the Elfstedentocht has not been organised since 1997 :(
Fierljeppen:
Fierljeppen is a power sport that is practiced a lot, especially in Friesland, but also in Utrecht and Groningen. With a pole (stick), jump as far as possible over the water.
History
As early as August 24, 1767, the first official football match was held. The match took place in Baard and was organized by the widow of castle owner Ype Gerbens. The tab immediately knew in a certain tradition, because 4 years later her successor Nannes Jetses again organized a tab competition in Baard for prizes. Two centuries later, in 1957, the first Frisian Championship was held in Winsum. That was the beginning of a new sport, emerging from a centuries-old tradition. In 1960, the Frisian Ljeppers Bond (FLB) was founded. that bond organizes mainly competitions in Friesland and Groningen. For example, the FLB organizes the Frisian championship Fierljeppen every year. This is always held on the second Saturday of August, on the slopes of Winsum. With the establishment of the FLB, a start could be made with the structuring of the football matches. Ten years later the Polsbond Holland was founded which organized competitions in other parts of the country.
The jump
The fierljep jump consists of the approach to the pole (which is ready in the water), the jump-in, the climbing to the top (at the hover over the water) and a jump-off with landing. Before the jump can be made, the pulse is first (in the tab or its coach) put in the right place in the water. The tab itself determines the distance between the end of the wrist and where the wrist comes to stand. The greater this distance, the further jumps can be made, but proportionately the chance of failure of the jump (getting a wet jump) also increases. The wrist is held in place by the wrist holder with a fork stick. Then the tab moves to the starting point and gives instructions to the wrist holder to straighten the wrist. The wind direction is taken into account if necessary. Each tab has two and a half minutes to make a jump; first the light goes on orange and half a minute later on red. If the tab jumps to a red light, the jump will be declared invalid. In order to be able to give a final indication and for safety, another tab or a coach is included with the approach. There are different ways of jumping in, swinging and climbing. Also, different protrusions are applied. After landing in the sand bed, the jumps are measured at a distance from the measuring line provided in the sand bed. This is located, measured from the front of the fence, at the boys / women at a distance of 12/13 meters, at the middle fence at 14 meters and at the men / seniors fence at 15 meters. The rear impression in the sand bed is decisive for measuring the jumps distance. The distance is only measured when the tab is landed within the so-called sector. This is indicated by means of ribbons attached to the measuring line. Of course, the tab with the farthest distance is the winner. The members of the Technical Committee (TCs) choose the accommodation for each match and have the role of referee at the match.
Record
For years, the record for long jump in the men's seniors stood at 19.40 meters, jumped in 1991 by Aart de With from Benskop. Since the introduction of the carbon pulse in 2006, this record has been sharpened. On July 2, 2006, Bart Helmholt was the first to jump over it; he then jumped to the 19.48 meters. On August 24, 2009, he managed to jump to 21.01 meters. Meanwhile, other tabs have meanwhile jumped past the old record. Even at the moment Bart Helmholt holds the record in his hands. In 2010 Helmholt broke a new record in Burgum: 21.26 meters The record for women has been in the hands of Dymphie van Rooijen since 2015. She jumped 17.14 meters in Linskoat that year, after she lost the record on June 20 in IJlst to Marrit van der Wal.

Kaatsen:
Have you ever heard about the sport kaatsen? If you are not from Friesland don’t be embarrassed. The sport is not widely spread and it is a traditional sport in the region of Friesland. Also referred to as Frisian handball it has been played for a few hundred years. ,,We assume workers who migrated from the south of the Netherlands and Belgium to Friesland in the 17th and 18th century brought the sport here”, says Robert Roosjen, chairman of the local kaatsclub in Leeuwarden.
Points counted like in tennis
Although it has been called Frisian handball it doesn’t have that many similarities to handball. The teams consist of three players each. You score points by hitting the ball with your hand across the entire field, which is called a ‘Bovenslag’. You can also score points by serving and a player from the other team misses the ball, this is called a ‘Zitbal’ . The points are counted like in tennis. ,,Instead of 15, 30, 40 we count 2,4 and 6. Then you win a game or as we call it ‘Eerst’. First to six ‘Eerst’ wins the match”.
The Leeuwarder kaatsclub was founded in 1902, today the club has around 200 members. ,,Approximately 40 adults and 50 kids play for us at the moment. In total there are 120 kaatsclubs in Friesland. There is not much of a rivalry between us because we often work and train together to maintain the sport”.
The P.C in Franeker
There are a few important competitions every year. Beetgum (Van Aismadag) and Dronrijp and Leeuwarden are two notable tournaments but the biggest one is the P.C. Robert Roosjen compares it to other major events in sports. ,,What Wimbledon is to tennis, the P.C. is for kaatsen. It’s the title that the players most want to win”, he says. The P.C. or Permanent Committee as it’s named, is held every year in the town of Franeker in Friesland. Around 10.000 spectators travel there to watch the tournament every time.

Sport clubs in Bolsward:
In Bolsward you can find several sport clubs for the general public. Most of these are not specifically for the youth, but are accessible for different age groups. Here a list of clubs and some of their logo's:
|
|
This is swimming pool Vitaloo, where you can swim and play water polo. They have been fighting against closure for several years now. Costs are getting higher and the municipality wants to "cut their losses". The people in Bolsward are trying to save the pool from closing by e.g. organising sponsor swims.
If Vitaloo were to close the nearest swimming pools would be in Workum, Sneek, Joure or Franeker. Joure is not really in the close vicinity (45 min drive), but it is a "tropical" swimming pools with lots of slides. |
This is Frisian handball field "het Oordje"
|
Sports in India:
We know that many Indians do sports as well. Sports like cricket, hockey and yoga are popular in India and well known in the Netherlands as well.
Cricket:
In the Netherlands we play cricket, but it’s not as much popular as in India. In the Netherlands there are less sport facilities with cricket where you can play this sport. In 2020 are there 43 cricket clubs in the Netherlands. There are an estimated 2.5 billion followers of cricket, in the Netherlands a little over 5,000 people play this game. In the Netherlands we have a National Team, which participated four times the world Championship Cricket. The team came till the first round. We won once the ICC World Cup Qualifier in 2001. In the Netherlands we play this game, but it’s not really popular if you compare it with India.

Just like fierljeppen and kaatsen in Friesland, India must have its traditional sports. We asked our Indian counterparts and they supplied us with info and videos on the following traditional Indian sports:
