Ittersum sports club was founded on August 28, 1952 as a football club. The players came from the neighborhoods` Ittersum, Olde Neel and Schellenberg, belonging to the municipality Zwollerkerspel Svi was in 1952 by the KNVB assigned to the 3rd Class C Section Zwolle and played its some games in a field behind Sand Hove.
A solid growth base of members
The board of SVI constantly come up with new plans to grow the membership base and plan new improvements for the sports complex.
After many years lobbying in the local council, 1974 a new stadium was built. The then sate of the art clubhouse opened its doors in 1975. For the opening act the Burgermeester Drijber made the official opening.
To the present day
The 50-year anniversary in September was celebrated in the 3rd class. The highlights of the festivities were matches against FC Zwolle and FC Twente and the presentation of the jubilee book "Stop and Turn" by Dick Hulleman and Jan Oelen was written about the history of SVI.
In October 2006 a new General Management was appointed Erik Fidder, Erik continuities to inspire and promote an atmosphere of community and development within and outside of SVI.
Grass Roots
In April 2007 the clubs target was to hold on to their flagship position in the 2nd division. SVI has a growing membership base of 1300 members and growing, despite this SVI is a friendly and cosy place to meet and participate in events that are held at the club house throughout the year.
The SVI Army
In addition, to the beautifully game, the club and the Supporters Association of SVI organize everything from carnivals and other activities like the Hanze Trophy, to baking the Dutch delicacy of oily balls for all the members and their families at Christmas.
SVI is truly a community club that has its roots firmly planted in the soil at a grass root level. Part of the increasing success of SVI volunteers is that they also ensure everyone plays football at their respective level
SVI has 12 senior teams, 3 Junior A teams, B- 3 junior teams, C-5 junior teams, 7 teams D-kids, 11 kids teams E-12 and F-kids teams. SVI has a thriving bank of young and upcoming talent which we think any respective scout would have a good choice to pick from.
Apart of this pool of young natural talent, SVI hosts every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning football clinics to master the basics of the game of football for the ages of 5- and 6-year olds (the Mini's).
SVI remains a thriving and exciting association which is reflected in its forward thinking direction to grass roots football, and its efforts to help the locally community and the global community at large with campaigns the likes of the Boots for Africa Campaign to donations for good causes the likes of Kika, a childeren`s cancer foundation based in Holland.
