Question I am going to be working in Amsterdam for 6 months to a year and would like to join a sports club to keep fit. My sport is Water polo, do you have clubs that a Foreigner can join and play in a social league?
Answer Hello Craig,
I have found several clubs you can join. I don't know if any of the clubs have a certain team for English speakers, but most, if not all, Dutch people speak English. Still, if you are going to join a Dutch club, speaking a little Dutch will always be appreciated. If you want to know whether they have a team you can join, you should contact the clubs themselves. I will include a list of clubs below. Note that not all clubs are in Amsterdam, some are located in the surrounding cities.
Kind Regards,

Most of these websites are in Dutch, but if you contact them in English they will be able to provide you with information in English. If you need help navigating these websites you can send me another question, and I'll try to help.
