DOETINCHEM – A multi-sport outdoor sports net was installed on the Groene Wig in the Doetinchem district of Dichteren on Friday 3 June. The steel net can be hung at five different heights and can therefore be used for volleyball, foot volleyball, tennis, badminton and more sports and games in the open air. A group of children from Humankind after-school care celebrated the acquisition together with the initiators.
The outdoor sports net was installed at the initiative of Orion Volleybal, VIOD, Days Outside and Sport-ID in the context of the Volleyball World Cup for women, which will be held in the Netherlands in September and October.
The new sports and play facility is located next to the basketball court and the panna cage already present on the Groene Wig. This offers residents of Dichteren, but also Wijnbergen and De Huet even more opportunity to enjoy outdoor sports and socialize. Young and old.
Now that the net is in place, it can be used. The lines will be added later and the official opening act will also be performed at a time to be planned. “But now that the net is in place, young and old can use it. We therefore cordially invite everyone to hit or kick a ball here, or to use the net with your badminton rackets on a beautiful summer day. After all, that’s what we set it up for,” say the initiators enthusiastically.
The province of Gelderland, where the vast majority of the World Cup will be held, has made subsidy available for a total of 40 outdoor sports nets. Not only to promote the net event, but also to bring attention to volleyball and other outdoor sports and exercise in general. Vitality is an important theme during the World Cup.
After the summer holidays, the initiators will also use the outdoor sports net for their own offer.
