WHAT IS KORFBALL?
MIXED GENDER
4 girls, 4 guys on each team
2 males and 2 females in the attacking zone and 2 males and 2 females in the defending zone. Only a male can mark a male and only a female can mark a female. No physical contact such as holding, tackling or blocking is allowed.
THE BASIC RULES
We will teach you all you need to know!
No dribbling, punching or kicking the ball is permitted. A goal is scored when the ball passed through the top of the korf. An attacker cannot take a shot if correctly defended. Every player has the chance to attack and score goals.
Korfball is a fun and exciting sport that anyone can play. It bears similarities to netball and basketball in that the aim is to throw a ball into a basket but there a number of rules that mean it is quite different to both.
Uniquely, it is the world's only exclusively mixed-sex sport. This means that all korfball teams must always have four male and four female players on the court at all times. Each player is then in a duel with an opponent of the same sex and must use their speed, agility and skill to break free to shoot and score. This creates a fast, dynamic sport that requires teamwork and cooperation to achieve success.
Korfball is still relatively unheard of in the UK but it has been around for over a 100 years and is played in more than 60 countries around the world.
