These are our NGGB pillars<\/h1><\/div>

both for the girls as well as for basketball<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"play<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


pleasure as a basis<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

NGGB brings basketball to girls through schools and local basketball clubs.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For the girls:<\/strong> Play and discover with peace of mind. We create a safe environment where fun is the biggest motivator for moving together.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For sports<\/strong> By increasing club membership, we ensure a broad and vital base. We make the step to the local club logical and accessible.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"grow<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


growth in strength & size<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

When girls play, they grow mentally, socially, and physically.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For the girls:<\/strong> Basketball builds self-confidence and a social network. We focus on grassroots sports: healthy, strong girls who truly learn to play together.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For sports<\/strong> We help clubs set up a sustainable broad girls' program. We strive for the influx of complete V12 teams across the Netherlands, so that the competition will be even more vibrant.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"lead<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


From player to leader<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Sports build life skills.<\/em>

<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For the girls:<\/strong> Basketball strengthens girls' physical and mental positions, making them more confident, both on and off the court.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

For sports<\/strong> By investing now in a strong overall influx, the position of Dutch women's basketball on the (inter)national courts will be strengthened in the future.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

NGGB stands for 2030 new basketball girls in 2030<\/h3><\/div>

With only 25% girls playing basketball in the Netherlands, there\u2019s a lot of work to be done. Together with the local clubs and She Got Game<\/a> NGGB is building this new chapter.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

MISSION<\/h3><\/div>

NGGB connects a new generation of girls with local basketball clubs to let them experience the power and fun of the greatest team sport in the world.
<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

VISION<\/h3><\/div>

NGGB guides girls aged 6 to 11 to the local basketball club through (after-school) activities in an accessible way. NGGB focuses solely on recreational sports and bridges the gap for girls who do not participate in sports enough.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AMBITION<\/h3><\/div>

In 2030, 2,030 additional girls under 12 years old will have been welcomed to Dutch basketball clubs, resulting in approximately 250 extra U12 teams proudly taking the court weekly.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Founder and Program Coordinator introduces himself<\/span>

Albert Taminiau<\/h3><\/div>
\"nggb<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>

For over 40 years, basketball has been a big part of my life. My daughters have now also embraced the love for this sport. As a father and coach, I see its power for them: fun, team spirit, physical resilience, and taking your own position.

But I also see challenges. My daughters (14 and 18 years old) are forced to play on the same team because there simply aren't enough girls. Where I could develop in a stable team at my level as a boy back then, girls have to switch between age groups every year, and there's no differentiation by level available. The lack of a broad base in Dutch women's basketball leads to unnecessary dropouts.

Things need to change! With support from She Got Game, I have an ambitious goal: to get 2,030 additional new girls playing basketball by 2030. For basketball, for grassroots sports, and for the girls who deserve a full future on the court.

My motto? A good assist is always better than an ugly score.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
