Korfball rules and how to play. there are two teams and 4 people on a team 2 girls and 2 boys  the am of the game is to get the ball in your korf (goal)  the goal are like netball goals except they are made of plastic  you can't move with the ball if you don't have the ball you can move where ever you want  girls defend girls and boys defend boys if you are going for the shot and you are getting defended you can't shoot I read this on rules of sport  website. ''Korfball is a Dutch game that is rooted in both netball and basketball. A team game, it is played with eight players on each side, . Scoring points (goals) is done by putting the ball through the opposition’s raised basket.'' Thank you for reading.
