Equipment One of the main advantages of korfball is that its equipment is quite simple: it consists of two posts with two baskets attached to them at the height of 3,5 m. Since 2005 at all official competitions baskets of clad plastic are used. Their training alternative is baskets of rattan or osier-bed (such baskets are easy to make). ![]() Posts 4-8 cm in diameter are manufactured of lightened metal. During official tournaments the posts are supposed to be fastened in a special hollow in the playing ground. At home competitions it is allowed to use posts fixed on a special circular founding 60-80 cm in diameter and 2,5-3 cm thick. For training children under 12 the telescopic or demountable posts are used. The height of such posts can be changed to 2,5 or 3 m. At this any variant of a post can be easily moved by a single person. Korfball is played not only indoors where the size of the playing ground is 20×40 m but also outdoors. In this case the size of the ground may vary from 20×40 m to 30×60 m depending on the players’ age. Besides, such competitions as tournaments in beach korfball, mono-korfball (with only one post) and water korfball are also held. |
