Hockeyclub Kromme Rijn

What Hockeyclub Kromme Rijn does

Hockeyclub Kromme Rijn (HC Kromme Rijn, also abbreviated HCKR) is a Dutch hockey association (vereniging) founded in 2012 and headquartered at Tolhuislaan 3B in Bunnik, Netherlands. The club organizes field hockey for members spanning ages 4 to 94, operating from a facility that includes two hockey fields (one water-based, one sand-based) and a seasonal blaashal (inflatable indoor hall) for winter zaalhockey. Programs are structured across competitive youth teams (O8 through O18), senior competitive teams (Dames, Heren, Dames 30+, Heren 30+, Heren 45+), and social formats including Friday-evening Sevens competition, Trimhockey for non-competitive players, and Walking Hockey for the 50+ segment in collaboration with Bunnik Vitaal.

The club's product offering is the athletic program and club facility itself rather than a technology product; supporting infrastructure is conventional, relying on the LISA Hockey third-party platform for membership management, scheduling, registration, and member communication, alongside the club's own website and Instagram channel. There is no proprietary technology stack, no app, and no disclosed API or integration layer.

HC Kromme Rijn is funded through three revenue streams: recurring annual membership contributions (contributie) from approximately 500 members, recurring sponsorship income led by main sponsor Quintes Risicobeheer plus secondary sponsors (De Landgoederij, VANAN Kappers, Berculo Advocaten, Gereedschapsverhuur.nl), and transactional revenue from club activities (Hockeymarkt second-hand equipment market, Blaashal Bios indoor cinema, family tournaments, and bar/social events). The club is governed by a six-member volunteer board, operates through 17+ committees, and reports no external investors, parent company, or paid employees in conventional sense.
