2nd Worldwide korfball youth event

/in , , , , , /by

In the weekend of 14 – 15 June 2014 the IKF Development and Education Committee wants to celebrate another edition of the worldwide korfball youth event. As a follow up of the succesful International Korfball Youth Day Celebration held 15 June 2013 and following the great result of the Worldwide Korfball Match created by IKF Europe Development officer, Mr. Bandor Nagy, we organise the 2nd edition.

If players and teams are ready to play a match between team Korfs and team Balls, please join the Facebook event at https://www.facebook.com/events/635176416557674/  in order to follow the information regarding the worldwide match.

Our intention is to tally the results of all the Korfs teams and the Balls teams aggregated, so it will be a country-wide korfball match between the two teams. We will have an interactive map where the visitors can see the results at each location, and by age group, including all the names of the players who played korfball in that location during the weekend of the 14-15 June. Next to the map, the big score board will show the progressive overall standings. At the end of the weekend we will have the final result between Korfs and Balls and we wil also post pictures, videos and reports from many locations.
