Esther Vergeer Foundation
Esther Vergeer Foundation & IT4Kids
IT4Kids and the Esther Vergeer Foundation are joining forces through the Sports Clinics (Sportpoli’s). Through this partnership, we support children with physical disabilities in taking a sustainable step toward participating in sports. Together, we contribute to equal opportunities in sports and make sports more structurally accessible for children who need additional support. Both organizations share the belief that every child, regardless of disability or background, should have the opportunity to participate in sports and experience the social benefits that sports can offer.
About the Sportpoli's
The Sportpoli’s support children who want to participate in sports but are unsure about what they can and are allowed to do. Through all academic children’s hospitals and several rehabilitation centers across the Netherlands, the Esther Vergeer Foundation guides hundreds of children each year toward a sport that truly suits them. Through a personalized program, medical expertise, enjoyment of sports, and practical guidance toward a local sports club are combined. Together with the child and their parents, the focus is on identifying what is feasible and what the child is able and motivated to do. This ensures that children can participate in sports safely, with enjoyment and confidence.
