Korfball for gender equality – Small Collaborative Partnerships

December, 2021

Korfball is the only team sport that girls and boys play in the same team. It is not only played with a team of women or men. Teams are a mixture of male and female players. For this reason, team understanding has been affected in a different direction. Since it is a sport based on intelligence and tactics rather than physical strength, male and female players are equal in this sport.
