How does a ‘vereniging’ work?
DVS is a ‘vereniging’. Basically, it’s a volunteer organization. All board members, staff and coaches are volunteers.
A ‘vereniging’ is a club where you have a vote in the club’s policies. Every year, the club organizes a member’s meeting, where the club members decide about everything: the club’s activities, the membership fees, new board members, etcetera.
Important to know is that your membership will be automatically renewed. If you don’t unsubscribe in July, you’ll be a club member for another season. If you are too late, the club will charge a apart of the annual fee.
Social play
At DVS, we like to play badminton games for fun, also known as “social play”. You can find these activities in the calender by searching for “Vrij spelen”. No reservation needed!
In the sports hall, you’ll find a reservation board. On the back of the board, you’ll find a label with your name on it. You can use this label to reservate a spot. Once 3 other people have joined you, you can play during the reservated time slot. After your game, you can make a new reservation by moving your label to a different time slot.
Badminton seasons
The badminton season starts in September, and end in July. If you want to quit DVS, please unsubscribe before Augustus, otherwise you will be a club member for another season. If you are too late, the club will charge a apart of the annual fee.
Shuttles
If you play with nylon shuttles, you can use the club shuttles. If you want to play with feather shuttles, you have to bring them yourself. If you want to buy your shuttles from the club, please ask in the sports hall for Felicia.
Preparing and clearing the nets, reservation board and shuttles
Please keep in mind that our club has no paid staff, only volunteers. Therefore, we prepare the hall and clear the hall together. You can find the key of the lockers at the hall attendent. With the keys, you can open the lockers with the shuttles, nets and other materials.
