Not classic after-school care. Not a gym. A third way.
We bring together what regular after-school care and the sports club both leave unfinished. A daily programme with pedagogical depth and a scientific foundation. Learning to move in every way, with fun as the common thread.
Three pillars, one programme.
ABC Sport BSO isn't childcare with a sports activity bolted on. The entire programme stands on three foundations that reinforce one another, and you'll see all three every afternoon.
Broad Motor Development
Not early specialisation, but learning to move in every way. A child who moves broadly builds better coordination, strength and balance, and picks up fewer injuries, now and later.
Athletic Skills Model
The ten fundamentals of movement as the framework for our programme. Variety isn't left to chance, it's guaranteed: every week covers the whole basis of movement.
Outdoor living, outdoor learning
The Scandinavian philosophy of being outside. Fresh air and nature aren't a fair-weather bonus here, they're the setting for every afternoon. Being outdoors lowers stress, engages every sense and builds resilience.
“There is no bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”
Moving in every way, growing with joy
At ABC Sport BSO, children get the space to discover what they can do. With a mix of sports, challenging games and plenty of outdoor fun, we encourage their broad motor development. Children practise a range of skills, discover their interests and build their self-confidence step by step.
Ten fundamentals as the basis
Our programme is inspired by the ideas of the Athletic Skills Model (ASM). We use the ten fundamental forms of movement, which ASM brings together in its ‘Schijf van 10!’ (Wheel of 10), as the starting point for our content.
These fundamentals return in changing combinations in our sport tracks, outdoor activities and play moments. We match the challenges to the children's age, abilities and interests. Fun, variety and growing at your own level come first.
Our ten fundamentals
- Balancing & falling
- Play-fighting & wrestling
- Throwing & catching
- Climbing & clambering
- Aiming & shooting
- Running & walking
- Kicking & striking
- Jumping & landing
- Turning & swinging
- Walking & moving to music
That is how we make every afternoon a chance to move, discover and grow.
ABC Sport BSO, literally.
The name is no accident. Our three development lines start with A, B and C, and together they form the foundation a child builds on for the rest of their life.
A method that runs in a loop, not in a diary.
We don't plan one-off activities. We work from a fixed cycle of four steps that starts afresh every week.
Five days, five accents.
Every day has a main theme. We spread the ten fundamentals across the week without it feeling rigid; children choose within the theme.
What we do differently, and why.

Four statutory goals, four concrete choices.
We work to the four pedagogical core goals set out in the Dutch Childcare Act, formulated by Prof. Dr Marianne Riksen-Walraven. Each one translates into something you can see on the floor.
Four things you can expect from us.
What we claim, we can back up.
We do not claim that our programme makes children "smarter". What the science does point to: varied movement supports motor skills, health, social development and enjoyment of movement, and increases the chance of moving for life.
