Fancy trying a mixed ball sport like netball or basketball? Try Korfball today!

Hello and welcome to Bristol City Korfball Club's Meetup event.

COMPETITIVE BEGINNERS NEEDED
If you're a beginner who is interested in playing competitively, now is the perfect time to join us! We are having a recruitment drive to fill our brand new 3rd team, ready to play in the league next season. We need a few more players to bolster the ranks so now is a great time to join us and learn the game! Anyone who is interested please make this known on your first session and we'll be keen to get you involved as soon as we can.

Location: City Academy Sports Centre, Russell Town Ave, Bristol, BS5 9JH, 3rd court on the right.

Participants: We use meetup to advertise to new players, but our club has ~30 members that communicate via WhatsApp. You definitely wont be the only one there!

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THIS SESSION
The first Wednesday of every month we open our doors to beginners! This will be a regular training session with both a mix of new starters and existing members.

For the beginners we will try and focus on the basics of korfball, have a few friendly competitions and typically end with a short game. Hopefully it will give you a good taste of korfball and our club!

We will also be going to the pub afterwards for a drink or two, so its a great way to chat and meet some of the club too :)

BUT WHAT EVEN IS KORFBALL?
Korfball is a fast paced mixed-gender ball sport, similar to Basketball or Netball. In fact it means 'basketball' in Dutch. Teams are made up of 4 boys and 4 girls who work together to outscore the opposition. It's a very inclusive game and lots of fun!

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
Korfball is great fun and we are a very welcoming and friendly club. Most people join us with zero experience in the sport. Some people join us to get fit. Others join to make new friends. Whatever your reason you will be welcome with us. At the very least come give it a try, or you'll never know!

COMPETITIVE
We are super keen on finding players who want to compete in our regular season. Our 2 teams currently play in both levels of the local leagues - we are a casual club but usually finish high in the tables! If you're interested in getting involved with a competitive sport then we'd love to hear from you. We also play lots of competitive korf outdoors over the summer!

JOIN US
We're looking for new players to join us for training. As well as clicking sign up to the event, please make sure you fill out the join us form on our website: https://www.bristolcitykorfball.co.uk/join-us

WHAT TO BRING
Dress appropriately for some indoor sport (e.g. make sure you bring sports shoes)! And don't forget to bring plenty of water, especially if it's hot!

PRICE
Your first 2 sessions are absolutely free so you can get a taster for the sport and see if it is for you. PAYG is currently set to £7 a session, or there are other more cost-effective options if you want to really get involved (see https://www.bristolcitykorfball.co.uk/documents/season-fees). We never aim to make a profit, all of our coaches are volunteers and this charge is purely to cover running costs e.g. hall fees.
