Sport is regarded, by national and local governments, as a key instrument to positively affect the attitude and lifestyle of young adolescents. Also sports are a way to make youth aware of the need to move. This way, we can fight modern public health threats to our health such as obesity among pre-adolescents. These views fit with the mission of Sport Consult International bv, where social commitment and sports stimulation are a high priority and will remain so into the future. SCI offers local governments and welfare councils projects in the field of youth sports, school sports and vacation activities. Many larger district councils in the Netherlands have teamed up with SCI to work on projects that stimulate involvement in sports; these include the cities of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Veenendaal. SCI also organises activities for various cities with the youth as target audience. Generally, these activities are held during summer vacation in squares and sport venues. The councils can put different mobile sports units to use for numerous sports. Depending on the budget, these units are being offered or sponsored by SCI partners. One unit can consist of professional sports materials, accessories, a clinician and a DJ. The activities (clinics, matches and entertainment) are held in cooperation with councils and other partners.

SCI has developed special sports entertainment events for grass root sports that are identified by having a ‘street image’ and possess values that appeal to a certain target group: cool, fun, entertainment and show. We offer events and activities in these contemporary and attractive sports. We can combine these activities with school sports projects. For example: Basketball Basketball competitions 5 on 5 (indoor) and 3 on 3 (outdoor) combined with free style elements. Street soccer 4 on 4 football match with complimentary cage soccer and free style. Dance A competition for dance in teams with extra break-dance battles and special contests. Rope Skipping A contemporary variant of rope jumping in free style and speed skipping set-ups, individual or in team competitions. All these activities can be musically backed by a DJ.
