Van der Steuijt is stepping down partly because he became head coach of the Fortuna squad, alongside Joost Preuninger. That appointment had already been announced earlier.
Simons on his new assistant: "He has a lot of experience in top-level korfball and for me is a valuable addition to the staff of the Netherlands U19."
The preliminary selection starts during the autumn holiday with the Pre-challenge. The final selection follows at the Korfbal Challenge. The goal is the U19 World Championship in March 2027.
