Recreational athletes wanted for the VA Athletes' Council

Are you an active participant in our sports? Do you want to help make the athlete's voice heard within the VA? Then sign up now!

The VA is advised by five committees. These include gym owners, coaches, former elite athletes, promoters and officials: people with centuries of combined experience in kickboxing, Thai boxing and MMA at every level. There is, however, one voice we would like to hear more often: that of the active athlete. That is why the VA is setting up an Athletes' Council (Sportersraad). It will allow athletes at all levels to have a say about their sports, from world-class competitors to enthusiastic recreational athletes.

For this new Athletes' Council we are still looking for a number of recreational athletes. Do you train at the gym every week, purely for your own enjoyment? Do you want to have a say about everything relating to our sports? About the quality and accessibility of gyms? About campaigns against undesirable behaviour? About the promotion of the sport in the media? Or do you have topics of your own that you feel need to be discussed? Then get in touch with us. We explicitly invite women and young people to sign up as well. Send us an email before 14 May at info@vechtsportautoriteit.nl
