Stichting Sport Care Plus

What Stichting Sport Care Plus does

Stichting Sport Care Plus is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) established in 2022 and headquartered in Alkmaar, North Holland, with an additional postal address in Oudendijk. The organization provides adapted sports coaching and day care services for people with intellectual disabilities, neurodiversity, severe multiple disabilities, and acquired brain injury. Its core offering is personalized one-on-one sports guidance (Sportzorgbegeleiding) delivered through field-based sportzorgbegeleiders who accompany clients from home to accessible sports locations, supplemented by mobile sports trajectories that bring programming directly into care institutions.

The foundation's central intellectual property is the Sport Care Method (Sportzorgmethode), an evidence-based methodology developed over 20 years of practical experience by Patrick Rupsam through Hattrick Zorg and now delivered through the Sport Care Academy as a five-module certified coach training program in partnership with EFAA. Supporting product modules include the Sport Care Coach Opleiding certification, SCP-Support (intervision and ambassador services), a Kennisbank (knowledge base), and an in-development Beweeg-app for digital program setup and progress tracking. Partnerships with care organizations (Odion, Amsta, SIG, Esdégé Reigersdaal, SUHA Philadelphia) embed Sport Care coaches into institutional care delivery, while a partnership with CrossFit Castricum extends reach into mainstream sports clubs.

Sport Care Plus operates as an ANBI-registered social enterprise with three revenue streams: personal budget (PGB) subscriptions for individual clients, managed day care (Dagbesteding) funded through care budgets, and donations. Its go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer delivery with enterprise field sales to care and sports organizations. The organization has a small team of approximately 8 employees, serves the North Holland and Amsterdam regions, and is governed by a bestuur with a Raad van Toezicht installed in April 2024.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• NOC*NSF: Dutch Olympic and sports federation covering the full Dutch sport landscape. Broad incumbent because it sets inclusive-sport policy, funds disability-sport initiatives, and Dennis Gerkes (Stichting Sport Care Plus board member) previously worked there — making it a connected strategic counterpart rather than a direct competitor.
• Revalidatie Nederland: Dutch trade association of medical rehabilitation organizations that increasingly incorporate sports/movement into care pathways. Broad incumbent because it represents larger institutional rehab providers that integrate adaptive sports into treatment — overlapping with Stichting Sport Care Plus's care-organization partnership motion.
• Adelante Zorg: Dutch rehabilitation and care provider offering integrated sports and movement programs for clients with disabilities or chronic conditions. Broad incumbent because it combines clinical rehabilitation with adaptive-sport delivery at greater scale and across a broader service portfolio than Stichting Sport Care Plus.

Direct peers

• Esther Vergeer Foundation: Dutch foundation using wheelchair tennis to empower people with disabilities through sport. Direct peer because it operates a specialized adaptive-sports methodology, trains coaches, and targets Dutch disabled participants through a foundation structure analogous to Stichting Sport Care Plus.
• Uniek Sporten: Dutch national platform helping people with disabilities find appropriate sports in their area. Direct peer because it directly serves the same customer segment (disabled individuals seeking sports) and is a likely referral channel and partial substitute for Stichting Sport Care Plus's sportzorgbegeleiding service.
• Special Olympics Nederland: Dutch affiliate of Special Olympics serving athletes with intellectual disabilities through training and competition. Direct peer because its target population (people with intellectual disabilities) and adaptive-sports training mission closely mirror Stichting Sport Care Plus's primary customer segment.
• Stichting Special Heroes: Dutch non-profit enabling children and young people with disabilities to participate in sports and culture. Direct peer because it targets an overlapping population (disabled participants), delivers adaptive sports programming in partnership with care/sports organizations, and relies on a similar non-profit + partnership funding model.
• Fonds Gehandicaptensport: Dutch fund dedicated to making sports possible for people with disabilities. Direct peer because it operates in the same Dutch disability-sports niche, drives inclusive-sport adoption, and is even directly connected via board member Dennis Gerkes.
• Hattrick Zorg: Dutch care organization founded by Patrick Rupsam in 2003 where the Sport Care Method was originally developed. Direct peer because it operates at the intersection of care and adaptive sports for vulnerable populations and is the conceptual origin of Stichting Sport Care Plus's methodology.

Others

• EFAA (European Fitness & Aerobic Association): Dutch fitness and personal-training education provider partnering with Stichting Sport Care Plus on the Sport Care Coach Opleiding. Ecosystem participant because it supplies the training infrastructure that delivers Stichting Sport Care Plus's certified-coach program, making it an enabling partner rather than a competitor.
