What is korfball?

Korfball is the only team sport played by men and women together. Although the game is similar to basketball and handball, it is distinguished by its unique features. The aim of the game is to throw the ball into the opponent's korf, a basket-like high hoop. Korfball is a sport that can be played by men and women of all ages.
