About The Game

In Korfball guys and girls work together to succeed & win.

 

The sport has similarities to Netball and Basketball. It is described by many as a Mixx because it: “Has the teamwork of Netball & the explosiveness of Basketball.”

 

You’ll only need these 5 rules to start:

​1. The ball is played with the hands.

2. Controlled physical contact is permitted.

3. A player who holds the ball can pivot, but can’t run or dribble.

4. A player needs to be open to shoot, if “defended” by an opponent of their own gender they have to pass.

5. A team has 8 players, 4 males and 4 females with 2 of each on each half the court. The players stay on their designated halves playing in attack or defence but switching over after 2 goals have been scored.
