Basketball is popular in the province of Utrecht but clubs

In recent years, the number of members of the Dutch Basketball Association has increased by twenty percent. And the Utrecht basketball clubs notice this. SVO from Leidsche Rijn, BC Utrecht Cangeroes, Jump IJsselstein, ABC Amigos from Abcoude and Crackerjacks from Amersfoort, they all notice the growth, but are also short of room space. And that stings, “because a quarter of the association is outside the door,” says Arent-Jan Jongman, chairman of the Amersfoort basketball association.
