KORFBALL

Bromley has it's own Korfball Club, and if you would like to know more about this exciting sport, check out the club's website

Korfball is the world’s only mixed team sport. As such, it has a unique social dimension. It takes just a few minutes to learn, but for those who take it seriously, a lifetime to perfect. It's fast, dynamic and a challenging aerobic workout. While it values co-operation within the team, it can also be highly competitive.

Korfball is a sport played within a rectangular field of play, 40m by 20m. Teams of four female players and four male players try to shoot a ball into a korf (basket). The sport’s main characteristics encompass all-round skills, team play, controlled physical contact and gender co-operation. Teams of eight players divide into two sections – two male, two female in each section. Playing area consists of two large squares joined along the centre line, each square with a ‘korf’ set in one third from the back line. One section starts the game in attack, the other in defence. Sections swap roles after two goals have been scored.

This summer the Club is running three days of fun, skills and games all FREE to U13's, each independent teaching lead by current England Internation player and assisted by other fully qualified club coaches. follow our activities page for details.
