Korfball is a team ball game, similar to netball and basketball. It is played in 57 countries. It is played indoors or outdoors on a court divided into halves, called 'zones'. In each zone is a post with a basket at the top. The ball is similar in size as those used in football, but with more grip and bounce. Players score by throwing the ball through the other team's basket. After 2 goals the teams change zones: defenders become attackers and attackers become defenders. At half-time, teams swap halves.
