TOP strengthens technical management with KNKV subsidy
Thanks to a subsidy from the KNKV, TOP is strengthening its technical management, which consists of Leon Braunstahl, Sander Harmzen, Steven Baart and Ellen Broer. A key priority is strengthening the youth academy, and especially the talent teams.

An important reason is the national initiative 'Versterken topcompetities en topclubs 2032' of NOC*NSF, VWS, VSG and the KNKV. It is meant to further professionalise Dutch top-level korfball, also behind the scenes: with a strong organisation, good youth academies and a connection between youth and elite sport.
The technical management coordinates a talent programme, with a system that tracks the development of talented youth players. In addition, it develops training programmes per age category, organises clinics and events and coordinates between trainers, coaches and technical committees.
The aim is a strong youth academy, in which as many home-grown players as possible can make the step to the highest level within TOP. The club also wants to maintain the set-up after the subsidy period ends. TOP is playing in the Korfbal League again this season.
