What Stichting Gorinchemse Sportaccommodaties does

Stichting Gorinchemse Sportaccommodaties (SGS) is a Dutch non-profit foundation established in 1988 that operates and rents out four indoor sports facilities in the municipality of Gorinchem, Netherlands: Caribabad (a subtropical swimming paradise opened in 1988), Oosterbliek (sports hall, 1993), Van Rappardhal (sports hall, 1995), and De Hoefslag (wheelchair-accessible sports hall, 2009). The foundation is governed by a five-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) and led by Directeur/Bestuurder Harjan Hubers, with a stated objective of operating the facilities budget-neutrally at socially acceptable tariff rates.

SGS generates revenue through hourly rental of its sports halls (€77.45/hour for 2026), ballet/dance rooms (€22.75/hour), and meeting rooms (price on request), with a minimum 2-hour rental on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends. Payment is collected in advance via bank transfer or cash at the Caribabad kassa. The facilities are used by a diversified customer base that includes primary and secondary schools (gym lessons during school periods), roughly a dozen local sports clubs and associations (basketball, handball, volleyball, badminton, korfbal, zaalvoetbal, athletics, dance, wheelchair sports, swimming, aerobics), private individuals, and organizations hosting events and tournaments. The sports halls range from 1,232-1,344 m² with 7m ceilings, spectator capacity of 150-800, and amenities including changing rooms, catering (operated by Dukes.nu at Oosterbliek), electronic scoreboards, and a climbing wall at De Hoefslag.

The foundation operates as a direct-to-consumer rental business with no proprietary technology, no mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed digital booking system beyond a basic online reservation request form. Customer acquisition is handled through the official website (sporthalgorinchem.nl), phone (0183-623911), and email ([email protected]). SGS has no external parent company, no subsidiaries in the legal sense (the four facilities are operated directly), no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents, and no public revenue or financial disclosures beyond the published 2026 tariff schedule.
