Winter break is slowly approaching, this is the perfect time to take a moment to reflect on the state of your club and its facilities. At W&H Sports, we understand that every club, no matter what level they play at, has dreams and ambitions. Our passion is to help realise these dreams, from the Fifth Division to the highest echelons of Dutch amateur football.
From supplying grandstand seats and looking after the dressing room fixtures at AFC in Amsterdam to supplying football goals at V.V. Groeneweg in Zevenhuizen. And from supplying dug outs at TOGB in Berkel en Rodenrijs to restoring worn-out artificial grass pitches at FC Lisse. We are there for every club!
A grandstand that everyone wants to sit on
A dedicated supporter who comes to every match in all weathers, a business relation who comes to watch a match by invitation or just someone who is looking for a comfortable place to enjoy the football match. We provide grandstand seats and business seats to suit the needs of this diverse target group!
The comfort of the supporter is key. Our grandstand seats are designed to provide supporters with this comfort so that they can fully focus on cheering on their favourite team. The stadium and grandstand seats made of high-quality copolymer polypropylene are available in various designs and tested for strength and durability according to European standards (EN 12727:01). In addition, the grandstand seats are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life.
With TAS Stadium advertising, the investment can be recouped and even sponsor income can be generated. Clubs like sc Heerenveen, LRC Leerdam, VV Lunteren, VV Katwijk and SC Spirit ’30 preceded you!
Looking for a more luxurious variant for business club members, for example? Take a look at our business seats. We have already supplied these to VV Katwijk, VV Noordwijk and VVSB, among others. Go for a grandstand that everyone wants to sit on!
The dressing room as home base
The sacred place of every football team: the dressing room. What is discussed in the dressing room stays in the dressing room. A place where victories are celebrated and defeats are felt. The (seating) comfort in changing rooms should not be forgotten. We notice that more and more football clubs are investing in their changing rooms. For those clubs considering this too; refurbishing changing rooms does not have to be expensive at all!
The changing room can be fitted with grandstand chairs in the club colours. In addition to chairs, we have an extensive supply programme for dressing room furnishings. We supply lockers, wardrobes, wall benches, changing room chairs, washbasins and much more. A standard changing room or a very elaborate one, in the end it’s all about one thing: a nice home base.
Indispensable for every complex: dug outs
You can find them at every football complex: dug outs. Not the place where you want to sit as a football player, but if you do sit there, then preferably comfortably. Dug outs offer protection from the weather.
Every football club can reflect its own wishes and needs in the dugout, just as VV Maasdijk, KDO, H.V.V. Laakkwartier and Vitesse’22 have done.
SV Hoofddorp has had the same goals for 14 years
That cheap can sometimes be expensive will not be unfamiliar to many clubs. SV Hoofddorp therefore committed to a new long-term vision some 15 years ago.
The focus was on buying quality products known for their long lifespan. This would initially weigh more heavily on the budget, but the directors were convinced it would pay off in the long run. And it did, these goals have now been on the football pitches of De IJvelden Sports Complex for 14 years and do not need to be replaced for the time being either.
Curious about our range of goals? They range from cage model goals and training goals to collapsible football goals and mini-goals. These can be found at both BVOs and amateur clubs.
Sustainability in amateur football
Amateur football holds a special place in our hearts. It is the foundation of sport, where young talents take their first steps, where friendships are forged and where the community comes together to cheer on local heroes. This is a world we should take care of.
This realisation is also growing among more and more football clubs, which is why sustainability is increasingly returning to the sports complex. T.O.S. Actief recently opted for our GreenMatter initiative. Every year, old and worn artificial grass pitches are replaced and GreenMatter processes them into reusable raw materials from which products can be made. T.O.S. Actief has created a ‘green terrace’ by installing planters, tree benches and grass tiles.
Another club taking the lead on sustainability is FC Lisse. Former chairman, Leon Annokkee said the following about this: ”Recently, we have a new accommodation that meets the latest requirements. During the renovation, sustainability has been a very important pillar. Also in the final phase; when purchasing park benches and picnic sets, among other things, we chose GreenMatter. Sustainability already plays a big role at FC Lisse, but this will only increase in the future.”
What can you and your club mean in terms of sustainability? We are happy to exchange ideas.
Additional furnishing materials at the sports complex
Besides necessary furnishing materials, the sports complex can be dressed up with nice extra additions. The traditional furnishing of sports complexes no longer suffices. Young people want sports facilities that they can have fun with besides their regular games and training sessions. Teqball tables, VolleyWalls and multifunctional poles are some examples of modern facilities that meet these new needs.
