ADO Den Haag launches “Live like an ADO-Prof!” project at eight locations

In the spring of 2023, ADO Den Haag launched the “Live like an ADO-Prof!” project at more than eight unique locations. From March through June, more than 150 children will walk the path of a true ADO-Prof!

With ‘Living like an ADO-Prof!’, children and young people are offered the chance to experience the unique experience of a professional footballer, in order to discover their talents and develop competences. The trainers of ADO Den Haag will work on this during a 12-part training cycle, in which the themes Health, Acceptance and Development are leading.

All participants have now passed the professional test by a physiotherapist from the club. After the physio’s approval, the participants travelled to the Bingoal Stadium a week later with the player bus of transport partner Van Heugten Tours to sign their first contract. At this unique location, they all signed the contract which means they are now official participants of the ‘Life of an ADO-Prof!’ programme. After this formal moment, all participants received a goodie bag with their own ADO Den Haag training clothes, made by partners PLYRS and Van Heugten Tours.

In the next ten meetings, the themes will be dealt with intensively during the training sessions, but there is also room for workshops such as the Fair Play Game, use of social media and developing your own neighbourhood contribution during the ‘MOVE in 1-day’.
