Korfball is not a usual sport to be included in the PE curriculum however it is a game that
should be considered. The game of Korfball is much similar to the sport of Netball.
Including a unit of korfball into a year 10 PE class allows students to play something they
may not have done before. Students will be able to use previously learnt skills in a new
and exciting way. Students will be able to adapt tactics and strategies from other sports to
use in the game of Korfball. They will be able to learn tactical knowledge of the game of
Korfball through the game sense model. Over four weeks students will participate in a
SEPEP program where the students will be responsible for organising. Each student will
be given a role that they will be doing over the four weeks. By allowing students to run
the SEPEP program it will allow the students to see what goes into organized sport and
what needs to be done so the sport runs smoothly. Students will have the opportunity to
take on a role of being a Sports Board Member, Equipment Manager, Captain,
Statistician, Scorer, Umpire or Publicity Officer. Each role will have their own tasks the
students will need to complete for the running of the Korfball SEPEP program. Students
will also need to communicate with each other to make sure all aspects are completed and
that the SEPEP program is consistent across the roles. This will allow students to show
they can work as a team and build their communication skills.

Historical Overview
Korfball was first developed in 1902 by Nico Broekhuysen, a Dutch school teacher from
Amsterdam. During a teaching position in Sweden, Broekhuysen observed students playing
the Swedish game ringboll, where mixed gender students played each other. Using three
zones, the students aimed to scored points for their team by shooting a ball through a ring
at either end of the court.
Encompassing skill, cooperative play, controlled physical contact and gender equality,
Korfball became a popular sport throughout the Netherlands and its surrounding countries.
However, the sport also gained a considerable amount of controversy with reviews like
Korfball is a monster that spreads its claws to all sides. Given that it was a mixed gender
sport, journalists refused to pay little attention towards the sport. Reports made only
focused on the sport at being immoral or inappropriate.
By 1920, opinions surround Korfball changed significantly. The sport became global as it
became a summer Olympic sport in the Antwerp Summer Olympics. In 1928, Korfball
made its second appearance at the Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1933, the
International Korfball Federation was founded.
Federation was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee, allowing the
sport to be represented within the World Games.

Worksheet 1: Comprehension
This worksheet focuses on the key terminology used within Korfball, including different
terms for the equipment, players, rules and organizational components. Specifically
crossword worksheet requires the student to demonstrate their understanding of the key
terms. Many of these terms will cross over between previously learnt material from similar
sports.
This worksheet links to the domain of Health and Physical Education: Students will be
introduced to new sports which will require them to adapt previously learnt skills in a

Aim is for the attacking team to pass the ball down into their attacking zone and make 10 successful consecutive
passes. The objective is for the attacking team to use a variety of tactics and strategies to create an opening and
escape their defender to receive a pass. The attacks also need to strategically pass the ball so that a defender does
not intercept it.
Game sense being used: Creating space, creating an opening, escaping the defender and passing to a leading
player.

25
Modifications:
1. Introduce a 5th defender within the defending zone to emphasize the strategies and tactics an attacking
team may need to use within a game.
2. Increase or decrease the number of consecutive passes, including out to the defending zone.
3. Increase or decrease the size of the playing area to increase or decrease the difficulty of the task.
Minor Game/Activity 2
Game Name: Running in Shots
Game sense being used: Creating space, using an opening, goal shooting, repossessing the ball, fast attacking
passes and variation in passes
Diagram:

2. Allow players to choose the strategy of play, but finishing with a run in shot.
Minor Game/Activity 3
Game Name: 4 Korfmans

each team will be positioned in each corner of the court, they will be the korfmans. All other team members are
dispersed amongst the court.
The aim is to pass to any of the four korfmans to receive a point for your team. There will be two balls within the
court to pass around.
Game sense being used: Attacking options and strategies, Defensive options and strategies.

29
1. What strategies did your team come up with for the game? Did you focus on the attack, the defence or
both? Why and how?

korfmans from your team, or the korfmans closer by? Explain.
Modifications:
1. Move the Korfman to the middle of each outside boundary instead of the corners to open up the receiving
area.

intensity of defensive and attacking strategies.

Organisational Factors
Team Selection
For a class of 24 students, each team will consist of eight student, consisting of both male and females (preferably
4 male, 4 female). There will be a total of three teams, thus allowing one team to carry out their roles and
responsibilities while the other two teams play a game.
The teams will be allocated at the teachers discretion. The teacher will have developed an understanding for the
students abilities prior to the SEPEP unit, and ranked the players according to their skills and abilities in similar
sports (e.g. Netball, Basketball, Handball, etc).
Student roles
Each team will be provided with a list of the roles/duties they can select from for the SEPEP unit. A description
of each role will be as follows (ACHPER, 2009; Moris, n.d.):

Roles Selection
Prior to commencement of the SEPEP unit, the class will be provided with a handout (Appendix 1) that describes
the students roles and the skills they require for that role. The students will be provided with a Nominations
handout (Appendix 2) that allows them to nominate their two role preferences. Students will also nominate who
they feel would suit a specific role from their class.
The Nominations handouts will be collected and the teacher will compile the results and allocate student roles
fairly based on the nominations and their own discretion. Student roles will be published a week prior to the
commencement of the SEPEP unit.
