ABC Switching Service, a relaxed start.
Want to switch to ABC, but your current contract is still running? We're happy to make the switch easier.
During the last two weeks of your notice period your child can join free of charge on your agreed ABC contract days. That way your child already discovers our Sporttracks, gets to know the coaches and feels at home on our Sports and Development Campus.
During this period you still pay your current provider, but nothing to ABC. The paid period at ABC starts right after your current contract has ended.
Learning to move in every way, a lifetime of fun.
We plan the switch together
- You sign a contract with ABC and share the confirmed end date of your current contract.
- We schedule at most two consecutive weeks of free participation, directly before that end date.
- The offer applies on your agreed ABC contract days and times, subject to available places and confirmation by ABC.
- You arrange the cancellation with your current provider yourself; we're happy to help with the planning.
Movement in the Netherlands is a quiet crisis.
Children in the Netherlands move measurably less, and in fewer ways, than they did ten years ago. Those who do play sport often play just one, with injuries and drop-out as the result. And regular after-school care, where your child spends three hours a day, structurally lacks any real movement policy. That is not an opinion: research by the Mulier Instituut among others shows that children's motor skills have measurably declined, and the Kenniscentrum Sport & Bewegen underlines the importance of varied movement.
“Children who keep moving at a young age are far more likely to stay active as adults.”Telama et al., 21-year longitudinal study
Four hours, thoughtfully built.
On Wednesdays and Fridays the afternoon starts at 12:00 for several schools. This schedule is the base.
One core, ten fundamentals.
Real movement, every afternoon.
One kit, one team.
No flimsy goodie bag, real gear. Every child belongs from day one.
Our staff wear ABC four-season clothing: jacket, rain gear, hoodie, shirt, cap and bottle. Children can order these items separately.

A trained mentor
Every permanent pedagogical staff member is ASM-trained before they take a group. A dedicated mentor per child, a consistent thread in the app.
Pedagogically trained and ASM-trained.
Every permanent staff member at ABC Sport BSO is ASM-trained (sports science and physical education programmes) before they take a group, alongside the statutory qualification childcare requires. That training is about all-round movement, and you will see it on the mat.
Two packages, one programme.
Not standard childcare but a sports campus that takes everything off your plate: one all-in hourly rate covering care, the sports programme and the holiday camps. The only thing you choose is the number of holiday weeks.
