-It is a sport played whithin a rectangular field of play,40m x20m.

-The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible.A goal is scored by shooting the ball into the opposite basket, called Korf.

-There are two teams of eight players divided into two divisions,two male and two female players per division.

-One division starts the game in attack, the other in  defence.

-Whenever two goals are scored, all players swap divisions and roles.

-The three most important points are:

• No running with the ball
• No dribbling
• No deliberate physical contact.

-Players are not allowed to run with the ball. If a player receives the ball while stationary, they may only pivot in one foot.But, if the players receive the ball while running,they can take two steps.

-The playing time is divided into two 30 minute halves.

-In korfball, any player can shoot from anywhere within the attacking zone.

-Defensive restrictions:

A defending player can stand at any distance provided they do not contact the player or the ball in the opposite player's possesion.Also, provided the defensive player is within arms legth of an offensive player attempting to block the ball, the offensive player cannot shoot.
