    TRAINING ARRANGEMENT
    In September 2018 the Royal Dutch Ice Skaters Bond [KNSB] announced they would be supporting a group of seven Dutch speed skaters, including Schipper, who did not have a club at the start of the 2018/19 season. The assistance was initially scheduled to last until the end of the season or until the skaters found a new club and coach, but in October 2018 the group became a team under new sponsor the Reggeborgh Groep.
