Project content
Children need a safe place that encourages them to play outside. That’s what Cruyff Courts are, a safe place where children learn the importance of togetherness, making friends, discovering their own talents, and winning and losing. These are valuable experiences that they carry with them as they develop physically and mentally, and as they move into society. Sport and play will help them develop as they discover new talents.
Together with local partners, we ensure that sports and play activities are run on the Cruyff Courts to help children be active and create a safe environment for the neighbourhood.
