Korfball is a game for everyone. Men and women of all ages can play. Korfball is played on every continent, with the exception of the Antarctic. It can be played indoors as well as outdoors, and you don't need expensive equipment to play the game.

The first thing you need is a pitch (court), divided into two halves called zones. Add two korfball posts, two baskets, one ball and two teams of eight players: two men and two women of each team in each zone (attack and defence). With one referee the game is ready to start.

The game is fairly simple. You score when you throw the ball through the other team's basket. After two goals the teams change zones: the defenders become attackers and attackers become defenders.

Now what else makes this game different? First, each team must have four women and four men. Second, you can not score when being defended. That occurs when the defender is closer to the basket and is facing his/her opponent, and is at arm's length, and is attempting to block the ball.
