Oegstgeest
The advantages of this inland location just behind the dunes were discovered long ago. The earliest
evidence of habitation in the fertile land where Oegstgeest lies is in fact a Batavian settlement dating
from the second century AD. Hundreds of years of civilisation and development have made
Oegstgeest into a town of just over 23,000 inhabitants who enjoy a pleasant and good quality way of
life.
The area hosts a lot of sporting activity, with hockey, cricket and football associations, along with golf
and tennis clubs. For those enjoy water sports, the Kaag and the North Sea coast offer plenty of
options. Oegstgeest and nearby Leiden offer a good choice of primary and secondary schools. The
Kempenaerstraat and Lange Voort shopping centre have a wide variety of shops and speciality stores
beneath covered areas.
A.S.C. Oegstgeest
The club
The Ajax Cricket and Football Club was founded in Leiden in 1892. Its very first years were devoted
only to cricket, for which success came quickly with Ajax becoming the first champions of the Dutch
Cricket Association Second Division in 1895, before going on to become national champions in 1897.
Football activities began in 1895, with the first success coming four years later, as the club won the
second division title and for the first time had a player called up for the national team.
The location
Much changed for the club during 1917 and 1918. CFC Ajax merged with LAV De Sportman to result
in the A.S.C. Oegstgeest football club, while cricket continued to be played under the Ajax name. Both
parts moved from Leiden to Oegstgeest and established themselves in Duivenvoordestraat, the
location where Park Duivenvoorde will be realised in 2017. Third division A.S.C. Oegstgeest (football)
and CC Ajax (cricket), who’s men and women compete in top divisions, are moving to the new
Overveer Sport Park.
