Korfball Association Botswana

Dear Korfballers

I haven't had much time to visit the korfball page lately. I have nonetheless seen your comments regarding developments. Kindly see to it that you all send team list to Boipuso, kevin and me. We can not in the state we are in convince sponsors to as I mentioned at the closing ceremony meeting.

We need to activate ground works first as sponsors need the marketing platform as one of the added benefit to them. We are mostly liable not to honour the Zambia tournament as the progression path has not ben forged; thus team setting up; competitions (locally) to cater for a selection platform. All participants whom did not receive equipments will receive them next month as we are still awaiting some from IKF and some via BNSC. Kindly bear with us and ply your part as requested, we direly need the tam forms to activate training assist program; bear in mind we need to visit teams and assist them with their training. Should we fail to have this done by next semester we are doomed!
Those from tertiary/organisations kindly try to solicit funding for equipment's from your institutions as we are working with a budget that has 50% deficit.

Major concentration as such ought not be on International competitions but local ones first to cater for developments. This doe not at all rule out the possibility but chances are very slim.Mr BOK you are not forgotten at all nor are Mochudi guys. The training you we afforded was to allow (require) all participants o set up teams.

Korfball Association Botswana Korfball
is a mixed gender ball sport, with similarities to netball and basketball. It is played by two teams of eight players, 4Boys & 4Girls per team.

A brief explanation of the game:

Korfball is a fast-paced and dynamic game that is the only truly mixed team sport in the world. The sport is accessible to anyone, whether young or old, male or female, beginner or international athlete. 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, co-operative play, controlled physical contact and gender equality. 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. JBH
