Newsletter summer kids & youth 2025

Summer has begun and at Taus Gym that means: outdoor exercise, fun and new adventures!

We take a brief look back at an active spring and take you through all that this summer has in store for you. Think fun outdoor workouts, for example.

You can also read more about important things like the membership change, our house rules and the holiday schedule. And for those who want to advance: new times have been scheduled again for exams and the Women Only Krav Maga course.

Read on and find out what you can do at Taus Gym this summer!

Outdoor training courses

In summer, it's extra fun to train outside sometimes! From July to September it may happen that your class in Tilburg or Breda will be held outside. The instructor decides this on a case-by-case basis, so it is important that you come to training well prepared:

👟 Always bring indoor and outdoor sports shoes
👕 Wear sportswear suitable for both indoor and outdoor use

Important for our members in Breda:
During the summer holidays, our indoor venue is closed on a few dates. On these days, we train outside anyway:

• Thursday, 10 July
• Monday, 14 July
• Thursday, 7 August
• Monday, 11 August

No changing rooms or toilets are available on those days, so please come to training changed and prepared.

Together, we will make it a sporty and sunny summer!

 

 

Contribution change

At Taus Gym, we want all children and young people to be able to play sports, grow in self-confidence and learn resilience - in a safe and positive environment. We have therefore kept costs as low as possible for years.

Nevertheless, we too notice that costs are rising, for instance due to higher rent, new sports equipment and maintenance of our venues. To ensure that we can continue to provide good and safe lessons, we will adjust our membership fees from this summer.

 

What exactly is changing?

• New members will pay the new rate from 1 July 2025
• Existing members will start paying the new rate from 1 September 2025

Do you have a multi-year membership? Then the 10%, 20% or 30% discount will continue to apply - even on the new rates.

We want everyone to be able to continue playing sports. That is why we actively look for opportunities through municipal schemes and other initiatives for people who are struggling financially.

Retrieved from this page find the possibilities.

Do you have questions about this or want to change your membership? Let us know via the contact form.

 

Holiday schedule 

Summer holidays are coming up! At Taus Gym too, that means a holiday schedule, so normal class times may change temporarily.

Summer holidays 2025: from 5 July to 17 August

• No classes from 21 July to 3 August - we will be closed then
• In the other weeks, there is a modified schedule with changed class times

Therefore, keep well the agenda in order to avoid unexpected surprises.

Good to know:

• During the adjusted schedule, youngsters are allowed to participate in all the training sessions we offer.

We hope you continue to enjoy training in the summer - and, of course, enjoy your holidays too!
