Stichting Leergeld

What Stichting Leergeld does

OKK Dordrecht (legal name: Dordrechtse Turnclub Oefening Kweekt Kracht) is a Dutch private sports association (vereniging) founded in 1880-1881, operating as the oldest gymnastics club in Dordrecht, South Holland, Netherlands. The association delivers recreational and competitive instruction across gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, dance (hiphop, jazzdance, TikTok Dance, K-pop, urban), adult fitness (Gymfit, Jazzfit, BBB, Dance Workout), and adapted sports (Uniek Sporten) for members with special needs. It serves approximately 600 members organized across roughly 44 lesson groups, with two-thirds of members engaged in dance activities. The club operates from 10+ municipal gymnasium facilities distributed across Dordrecht neighborhoods, including Sport+ Leerpark, Don Bosco school, and multiple neighborhood gymzalen.

The business model is a member-based subscription structure: members pay 11 monthly installments (September through July) via automatic direct debit, with the first lesson hour at full rate, additional hours at 50% of the hourly rate, and a 10% family discount for the third family member. Secondary revenue streams include KNGU (Royal Dutch Gymnastics Union) bond contribution pass-through, an e-commerce webshop selling merchandise such as USB sticks with event recordings (€23.50 for Kunstmin 2026 USB), and donations accepted via iDEAL, Wero, and credit card. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer within Dordrecht through online registration and physical facility access; no intermediaries or resellers are used. Marketing is primarily organic social (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), supplemented by website content, email newsletters, and the annual Grote Clubactie lottery fundraiser.

The organization is governed by an 8-member volunteer board led by Voorzitter (Chair) and Penningmeester (Treasurer) Leny Hamers, with Secretaris Paul de Haan, and board members Jos van der Weijden, Shireen Gulzar, Monique Roskam, Robert Schrage, and Wilco Kievit. Day-to-day operations rely on a combination of paid instructors (leiding), assistant instructors (hulpleiding), and a large volunteer base. Competitive achievements include UDO European Champions (D-Fire, June 2025), DDO NK Dutch National Champion (D-Dynamite, 2024), and multiple bondskampioen titles at NK Urban and NK Jazzdance finals in Ahoy Rotterdam (2026). The club is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 40322444 and is not publicly traded.
