What Schaatsteam De Haan Westerhoff does

Schaatsteam De Haan Westerhoff is a Dutch non-profit marathon speed skating team established in 1995 and based in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. The organization competes in the Topdivisie (senior) and Beloften (development) categories of Dutch marathon long-track skating on both natural and artificial ice, with a roster of seven competitive skaters and a support team of four coaches and five medical staff. Its athletes have secured a Dutch championship and international victories at Weißensee (Austria) and in Sweden, training year-round through cycling, inline skating, and ice sessions at venues including Thialf, Leeuwarden, and Erfurt.

The team's go-to-market is community-led: it builds visibility through competitive performance and social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Revenue is generated entirely from corporate sponsorships, with Bouwselect as the named main sponsor and approximately fifteen secondary partners across construction, hospitality, climate solutions, sports nutrition, apparel, and equipment. The team operates under the All4iceskating/All4Skating umbrella brand, which provides shared organizational infrastructure including contact channels and LinkedIn presence.
