What is the Preparation Year?
The Preparation Year is the transitional year between two active Team Belgium seasons. During this year, the focus is on technique and skill development. Skills Days are organized for athletes interested in potentially joining Team Belgium in the future. At the same time, behind the scenes, work is done on building the national program: try-outs are prepared, meetings are held about the future of Team Belgium, and support framework is prioritized.

We want to open the Team Belgium coaching program to everyone who is interested and meets the requirements.
