Dutch-invented, but now played in many other countries as well: Hungary, Lithuania, Czechia, Catalonia,Belgium(especially Antwerp area),U.K., U.S. See http://www.korffballnet.com and http://www.korfballnet.com I remember playing korfball in my schooldays, but never liked it. Too much like a static form of basketball.Must have been a way to allow boys and girls to join in common games without anyone coming to harm. A chapter in the history of non-violent co-education?
