University of Kent (UKC) Korfball Club

@ukckorf The official page for the University of Kent Korfball Club - get involved in our sport and social club!

Training 8-10pm Mondays & Thursdays in the Main Hall at Kent Sport

Korfball is a Dutch ball sport, with similarities to both netball and basketball. However, korfball is a mixed gender sport (teams are comprised of an even split of boys and girls), so it is perfect to bring along your flatmates and friends. We know that many students have never heard of korfball before, so we will start you off f

rom the absolute basics and gradually help you learn more

At the University of Kent we play both in BUCS competitions (against other UK universities), and in a local Kent league on Sundays. In April we go to the Netherlands to play in the social Attila tournament against European teams, and we also spend a few days exploring Amsterdam. The variety of fixtures means you can choose how competitively you want to play korfball

In the 2021/22 season, our first team came 2nd out of 52 university teams at the BUCS Nationals Championships where we played at UEA's campus in Norwich. This was a major success for the club, and we hope to continue to play at a similar standard, whilst also having fun! Aside from actually playing korfball, we are very much a social club. We frequent Woodys after training sessions, as well as Vensdays and NXTs each week. But we also like venturing off campus and making the most of what Canterbury has to offer. As well as completing bar crawls, we also have fun socials that don't involve drinking - we especially enjoy visiting the local beaches for barbecues when the weather is nice, or going to indoor activities like trampolining during the colder months

UKC Korfball is a growing club and a close family of friends where new members are always very welcome. Whether you want to play for fun, play competitively or want to socialise then join us – no one is ever turned away and players of all abilities are guaranteed a place in our teams! Join us both on and off the court and make the most of your university experience

If you have any questions or would like some more info, feel free to send us a message on Facebook or Instagram (@ukckorf), or send us an email on [email protected]

We hope to see you at our 2022/23 taster sessions:
26th September, 29th September, 3rd October, 6th October
All are 8-10pm in the Main Hall in Kent Sport, and will be followed by an optional visit to Woodys to get a chance to get to know each other a bit better!

We had a great time meeting lots of people at the Refreshers Fair this week and spreading interest in korfball. As we have an important BUCS tournament this upcoming weekend, we will be holding our taster session on February 9th. This will be 8-10pm in the Main Hall at Kent Sport, and will be beginner-friendly. A Kent Sport membership is required, which is free for first-years and those living on campus, or you can do pay-to-play which is £4.50 for the session. Hope to see lots of new faces there!

Yesterday our first team competed at BUCS Regionals, and successfully qualified for National Championships 🎉🤩 After having to move up some players from our second and third teams due to injuries in the first team, it is an amazing accomplishment that they were able to step up and perform this well. Unfortunately one player is missing from yesterday’s team photo, but he deserved a much-needed rest after working until 4am at before coming to play, so instead have a photo of him on the job this week. Special thank you to the supporters who cheered the team on via the livestreams and to our coaches for enabling us to get this far 💙
