Rabobank has been the main sponsor of the Royal Dutch Hockey Association (KNHB) for over a decade, a period in which field hockey has seen tremendous growth. In 2007, successes were celebrated, both internationally and at the local level. Both national teams qualified for the Olympics, and the men’s team captured the European title. On a local level, too, a lot happened in field hockey in 2007. No fewer than 172 hockey clubs have sponsor relationships with a local Rabobank. Such relationships are of great value and, on a local level, are practical translations of the bank’s commitment to local field hockey communities. The Rabobank Hockey Bonus enables clubs to finance their artificial turf or their pavilions at competitive rates at their local Rabobank. Numerous clinics are organised for young people, with international players coaching.
