Board members:

Chairman | initiator

My name is Andrew and I've been playing table tennis since I was 14 years old. Together with Mariska I founded Almere United in 2015. Our aim was to create a modern organisation, with new and refreshing ideas. To me, it is very important that all members feel like they are welcome to participate. Someone's level of play, origin, age: none of it all matters. At AU there's room for everyone to enjoy playing table tennis!

Secretary | initiator

I'm Mariska, a fan of the table tennis sport, but also the only one in my family who doesn't play... except for during fun tournaments. With this club I would like to innovate and get people to take a step forward, not just physically.

Board Member for Youth Affairs

My name is Remco Goossens. At Almere United, I am the competition secretary for our youth players as well as a board member for youth affairs. On top of that, I try to bring upcoming tournaments to the attention of our members. I've been helping out at AU for a while now, trying - in any way I can - to turn our club into the best that Flevoland has to offer.

PR & Communication Committee

Our PR & Communication Committee is responsible for all internal and external communication; (social) media, our digital newsletter and communication with our members and partners. If you'd like to receive more information about the club or if you have a question, please contact us.

I'm Emma and I've been playing table tennis since I was 11 years old. After having participated in youth competitions for several years, I'm now a few years into participating at a senior level. From the moment AU was created, I've helped out with all sorts of errands, but given my background as a graphics designer I mainly enjoy creating new designs and concepts that can be used in our social media posts.
