Matches at Totelos

If the training sessions are not sufficient for you, you can also register as a competition member. For men, you have a choice of two competitions: the NZVB and KNVB. The NZVB competition is more regional and you usually play there on Mondays. In the KNVB competition, men almost always play on Fridays. So, you can go to your parents in the weekend. The ladies’ teams usually play their matches on Mondays!

Experiences

Hello future Totelosser! As one of the few international members of Totelos I am here to describe for you what you might expect at this association. You don’t speak Dutch? You’re worried about your footballing skills? Never tried futsal before? Fear not. Just a year ago I found myself in the exact same situation. I was hesitant for the first training session. I didn’t really know what to expect or how to prepare myself for it. Nevertheless, I signed up and found the courage to show up. I was instantly greeted with a lot of smiles and people intruding themselves with open arms. I could really tell everybody was having fun and I couldn’t wait to join in. I loved it so much that from then on I was ready to bike through storm and hell so I didn’t have to miss a single training session. I don’t have a bad word to say about Totelos. From day 1 everyone is ready to be your friend and make you feel welcome and respected. The coaches are also eager to get to know you (needless to say, all trainings are in English). Just one year in I must say Totelos is a place for everybody. You can come to every single training or just once a month, you can play like Messi or like me…, you can drink after the training or relax and enjoy your peace while taking a shower. One thing is for sure you will never be pressured into anything and you are bound to have fun and to make friends you look up to meeting at every training.

I became a Totelos member a year ago when I was new to the Netherlands and was looking for a good team as an avid footballer. Immediately after a mixed open training, where I was welcomed with open arms and encouraged to come back for a ladies training, I decided to join the team. My lack of Dutch never stopped any of the members or trainers to start conversations with me or invite me to join activities. The atmosphere around trainings, internal competitions and socialising afterwards is one of fun, passion and camaraderie. Over the last year, I’ve made many friendships and memories and can’t wait to create more. All of my experience with not only my team but all the ladies and mens players has been great. If you are an individual at any skill level that likes the idea of playing football either for fun or competitively I really recommend Totelos!
