What is Korfball ?
Korfball is a mixed gender team sport. At first glance, it shares a few characteristics with basketball and net ball.
For more information on the sport itself: please consult
There is a field and indoors competition. Ten years ago, the field version still required a
three-sector field and twelve players. (And if your encyclopaedia is a bit dated, that
may be the version you'll find there!) But the two-sector game is faster, more
spectacular and made it easier for teams outside the Low Countries to compete. In 1997, the European university championship saw a final game between Brno and Warsaw! The game is becoming more international, with English universities pulling a lot of weight.
