There are 150 registered players in Cardiff alone but the goal of Welsh Korfball is to drive that number up and set up new clubs.
Keiran Davey, the Welsh Korfball Development officer said, “Korfball is a very popular sport for beginners in Cardiff because most people will join clubs having not even heard of the sport before. As a result all clubs cater for all abilities.”
He added, “Clubs are often cheap to join as well which means it is an affordable sport for newcomers.”
Gender equality in sport is a hot topic and korfball truly is a mixed gender activity. It is made up of teams of eight players, four men and four women. On the surface it looks a mix of netball and basketball but it has a unique set of rules but it is a sport that caters for all.
