Special Cruyff Courts

One of the projects of the Cruyff Foundation is the Cruyff Courts. However, not every child is able to use a regular Cruyff Court. In addition to Cruyff Courts in neighbourhoods, we therefore also develop Cruyff Courts at institutions, such as special education schools or rehabilitation centres, for children with special needs. These special Cruyff Courts are adapted to the needs of these children. 

To make the best possible use of the Cruyff Court, we work closely with therapist and teachers to explore how the pitch can become a central part of both the educational and therapeutic programmes. Together, we also look at how the Special Cruyff Court can be best adapted to the target group. 

Examples of adjustments to a Special Cruyff Court:

• Adapted surfaces for children with visual impairments, sush as specific use of colour and surface types
• Adapted or additional sports equipment on the pitch, sush as basketball hoops, hockey boards or a mutlifunctional net
• Additions around the pitch, such as a running track or wheelchair course
• Adjustments to the surroundings to better support physiotherapy purposes
