Coach courses

The IKF has four korfball courses to educate (beginner) coaches. These courses are organised in collaboration with the IKF Members, and are often supported by the DEC Grants.

LEVEL I

The IKF Level I Coach Course  is an introduction course for people that are not familiar with korfball. It is designed for enthusiastic sports people that want to get to know the sport korfball and consequently distribute it in their environments and communities. Therefore, the course enthuses the participants and let them experience korfball through playing and therefore through fun and practical exercises. Furthermore, the course will prepare the participant to be a beginner coach, by having them recognising the intentions of korfball. This way, they will be able to play the sport in its basic form, as well as introducing the sport to their communities, and assist head coaches during trainings.

You can do Level I as self study. If you want help for this or certification then you can contact Theo van der Linde.
