Cruyff Court

Cruyff Court in the De Greiden neighborhood of Heerenveen

A Cruyff Court is a small football field with a surface made of artificial grass, a contemporary version of the ball court. The Courts are a project of the Johan Cruyff Foundation of which Johan Cruijff himself was one of the founders.[1] The first was the Cruyff Court Aron Winter Veld in Lelystad. Since 2003, the Dutch football Talent of the Year may choose a location for a new court.

Although primarily focused on football, the Foundation considers it a plus if other sports and games take place. Furthermore, the normal Cruyff Court is expressly intended as a neighborhood facility: the application is asked for embedding in the neighborhood. This embedding also applies as much as possible to the adjusted Cruyff Courts, but they are set up in consultation with an institution for young people with a disability.
