Openings & Workshops

An energetic start for first-year students

This year, Showcase Basketball once again hosted the opening lessons for all first-year students at Lyceum Ypenburg – nine classes, nearly three hundred students! It's always special to start the school year with such a diverse group of young people. Lyceum Ypenburg not only offers its students an introduction to sports, but also the chance to explore whether they'll choose the elite sports class, the studio classes, or one of the many after-school activities.

Personal touch: family and passion together

This year was extra special: my own daughter started at Lyceum Ypenburg. Instead of taking the bus, she got to ride with me—a morning filled with healthy excitement and wonderful conversations. It's always special to be able to teach her among forty energetic children. Her friends didn't believe I was her father at first, but that just made it even more fun!

Who is the strongest of the Lyceum Ypenburg group

Teamwork, variation and connection

Together with top teacher (and friend) Pieter Neste, a dancer and a soccer player, we created a varied program. Pieter had a brilliant idea: first a collective warm-up and show, then the students could choose – dancing or soccer. This way, everyone got what they wanted. Compliments came from colleagues, the assistant principal, and the students themselves. The best part? The connection between the young people, the great atmosphere, and the happy faces at the end of the day.

Collaboration with Basketball with Impact
