Mission StatementIn 2013 we established the national Network Teaching Games (NTG) to promote game-based approaches in the context of school-based physical education and sport in the Netherlands. One of the main goals of out network is to provide a platform for PE teachers and sport coaches to discuss and share good practices concerning game-based approaches. On regular basis we organise conferences, masterclasses, symposia and workshops at our university to achieve these goals.
