Korfball

By Andrea Bertran

Korfball is very similar to basketball, but in fact it’s an evolution of ringball. It is a mixed team sport. It has two teams and each one has four women and four men. Each sex has to defend their own sex. Two men and two women from each team are in one area, and the others are in the other area. There are 16 players on the court at the same time, 8 from each team. Korfball can be played both indoors and outdoors. The size of the court is 20 x 40 m (22 x 44 yd). The court is divided into halves called zones. A korfball match consists of two periods of 30 minutes, with a break of 10 minutes between the periods. The ball used in korfball is very similar to that used in football (soccer).
