What does my child get, every week?
The short answer: ten fundamentals, five afternoons, one consistent mentor, and a parent app where you see it all again. The long answer is below.
Three groups, three stages of development.
A four-year-old and an eleven-year-old need very different things. That's why we work with three fixed base groups, each with its own focus, pace and level of challenge.
The six questions we're asked most.
Two packages, one programme.
Every child gets the same pedagogical programme: the same team, the same ten fundamentals, their own mentor. The only difference between the packages is the number of holiday weeks: one all-in hourly rate, including the sports programme and holiday events.
ABC Standard
ABC Full-Year
Premium talent development, priced smarter than you'd think.
At ABC your child gets professional Sport Tracks every afternoon, adventure outdoors and calm in our Camp Lounge. Thanks to the Dutch childcare allowance that is surprisingly affordable for most families.
One transparent all-in rate
No separate invoices and no surprises afterwards. Of every hour, € 9,98 falls under the childcare allowance. The government reimburses that part, depending on your household income, up to 96%. The difference is your own contribution to the sports programme.
All of this is included
- Weekly rotating Sport Tracks: hockey, football, survival and resilience, together with our partners.
- Sports professionals who help your child grow every afternoon: physically, cognitively and emotionally.
- Safe transport from school, by electric cargo bike or in our supervised bike train.
- Base Camp: landing in the Camp Lounge, with calm and healthy food after a busy school day.
- Holiday sports events during the school holidays.
What do you pay net?
At ABC you invest in all-round movement, self-confidence and fun. Our hourly rate is € 11,33. Through the childcare allowance the government reimburses up to 96% of € 9,98 per hour, depending on your joint assessment income. The amount above this allowance cap, € 1,35 per hour, you pay yourself. On top of that you pay the income-related own contribution over € 9,98.
For one child on the 46-week package, with 96% childcare allowance.
We are open five afternoons a week. On average families take three, so that is what the examples below are based on. Take more or fewer and the amount moves proportionally.
| Joint assessment income per year | 1 child | 2 children combined |
|---|---|---|
| t/m € 56.412 | € 102 | € 205 |
| € 80.000 | € 161 | € 276 |
| € 100.000 | € 242 | € 376 |
| € 120.000 | € 309 | € 459 |

Study days
With the 52-week package, study days are included in the all-in rate. With the 46-week package you book them separately.
| Item | 52 weeks – All-in | 46 weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Study day on a fixed contract day | Full day included | Regular afternoon included; additional hours charged separately |
| Study day on another day | Book separately, subject to availability | Book separately, subject to availability |
| Registration | At least 14 days in advance | At least 14 days in advance |
Tip: covered all year round
With the 52-week package your child gets six extra holiday weeks full of sport, adventure and outdoor fun on your agreed contract days. At a joint assessment income of € 80,000 that costs about € 37 net extra per month for one child. With 96% childcare allowance it is about € 24 extra per month. That way the holiday weeks are sorted too.
How are these amounts calculated?
- We are open five days a week; the examples calculate with 3 days a week, the average families take.
- The hourly rate is € 11,33. Of that, € 9,98 falls under the childcare allowance; the difference is always yours to pay.
- Over that allowance part the government reimburses a percentage that drops as your household income rises, up to a maximum of 96%.
- We divide the yearly cost by twelve, so you see one fixed monthly amount instead of expensive and cheap months.
- What you actually pay depends on your own situation. The Dutch tax office's trial calculation gives the exact amount.
Transparent about the small print
- The amounts are indications based on the hourly rate of € 11,33 and the 2026 childcare allowance. No rights can be derived from them.
- At three days a week we calculate with an average of 58.5 contract hours per month for the 46-week package and 72 contract hours for the 52-week package.
- Household income is the joint assessment income of you and your allowance partner, if any.
- You must meet the conditions for childcare allowance. A maximum of 230 hours per child per month applies; this maximum is not linked to the number of hours you work.
- The amounts for two children apply when both children take the same package and the same number of days.
- For the allowance, the child with the most contract hours counts as the first child. A higher reimbursement percentage may apply to a next child.
- Differences between packages are calculated before rounding, so the difference between the rounded table amounts can be off by one euro.
- Calculate your personal situation with the trial calculation of the Dutch tax office.

Book an introductory visit at the campus. We'll work it out together with you and show you why ABC is the new standard in after-school talent development.
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.
Five steps, from introductory visit to first afternoon.
We want you and your child to feel at home from day one. That starts with an introductory visit before you register.
What we've arranged, before you have to ask.
Climbing, play-fighting and jumping sound riskier than they are, provided it's done methodically and the basics are in order. This is what sits underneath our approach.
What you may read, without having to ask.
A number of documents belong in the open: for you as a parent, and for the Dutch health authority that inspects us. They are gathered here, no login and no searching.
"My child isn't really sporty."Then this is exactly the place.
Our ten fundamentals are made precisely for children who haven't yet found their preference. We don't measure performance. We offer variety and fun.
With ten base movements, the odds are good that every child comes across something they enjoy. Sometimes it's climbing. Sometimes music. Sometimes play-fighting. We force nothing, we invite.
What we hear the most.
What if my child isn't very sporty?
How safe is play-fighting & wrestling?
Does this fit within the childcare allowance?
My child has ADHD/autism/something else. Is that possible?
Do parents get report cards?
What about food and breaks?
See it first. Then register.
Book an introductory visit at our first location in Assen. Half an hour, no obligation, with your child there too.
