Rules of Korfball
- If playing indoors, the size of the Korfball court should be 20m x 40m or if playing outdoors it should be 30m x 60m.
- Teams shall consist of eight players and shall consist solely of female players or four female and four male.
- Korfball matches consist of two halves, each lasting for a total of 35 minutes, with a 10 minute halftime break.
- Each team has four players in each half and during the match they cannot switch zones. The game begins once a coin toss has decided who shall begin.
- In Korfball, the aim is to score by throwing the ball through the opposition’s basket.
- Once two goals have been scored, the teams change zones, with attackers becoming defenders and vice versa. Teams also swap ends at half time.
- On receiving the ball, a player may not dribble, walk or run with it but can move one foot with one remaining planted to the ground as in netball.
- Tackling, blocking and holding are not allowed in Korfball.
- The team with the most goals (points) at the end of the match are declared the winner.
- If both teams are on equal points at the end of the match, the game is declared a draw.
