Korfball Court and Equipment Setup

Mixed-gender team sports introduce specialized court equipment, including tall basket posts without traditional backboards. A smiling girl stands on the playing surface next to a round match ball and an elevated basket mounted on a freestanding pole. The court layout allows players from both teams to shoot into the basket from any surrounding angle.

History and Rules of Korfball

A Dutch schoolteacher named Nico Broekhuysen created korfball in 1902 to encourage equal participation between boys and girls. The word korf comes from the Dutch language and translates directly to basket in English. Unlike basketball goals, korfball baskets stand eleven and a half feet high inside the playing area without any backboard behind the rim.
