Nomads Korfball Club are pleased to be offering a taster sessions for people interested in trying the sport of Korfball for the first time or for those looking to get back into the game.

With six teams at all levels of English Korfball, Nomads is the only club in the UK that offers playing opportunities ranging from the beginners in the London Leagues through the social and competitive levels right up to European competition and the opportunity to represent your country at an elite level.

Nomads First Team is mainly comprised of players who began their Korfball careers in our junior set up and Nomads players have represented their country at every level of international competition.

Placing 3rd in the National League in the 2009-2010 season has led to European qualification that has not only further raised the profile of Nomads within the Korfball world but it has also attracted new sponsorship to the club and this will only aid the team as it looks to succeed in the Europa Shield in Poland this Winter.

Nomads can also boast quality facilities both indoor (Halls at Epsom College and Sutton Grammar School) and outdoor (Cheam Sports Club) as well as top level coaching from former international Korfballers and a thriving social scene to back up the club ethos that Nomads strives to maintain.

Korfball?

Korfball is the worlds only truly mixed sport, a basket sport that rewards all round skills, co-operative play and technical finesse.

Teams comprise of four female players and four male players, there are no set positions other than that the field of play is split into an attacking section and a defending section, with these roles rotating after two goals have been scored.

A Korfballer must be adept at both attack and defence in order to succeed.

The aim is to try and shoot the ball through the Korf (basket) but to do so you must be free from your defender, as if they are within arms reach any shot scored will not count (this element becomes immediately clear when you play).

As a result, game play revolves around working yourself and your team mates free from your opponent (your opponent will always be of the same gender as you) in order to create scoring opportunities.

A simple concept that presents limitless possibilities for goalscoring.

But really, to truly understand Korfball, you should learn to play and the Nomads K.C. Korfball taster session is the perfect opportunity to try Korfball.

To give you a visual feel for the game, the promotional video for the forthcoming European Championships is embedded below.

The taster sessions will be held on every Monday night in September from 8:30pm-10pm.

The sessions will be run by club members and the session will give you the opportunity to get to know Nomads and its members, as well as the game of Korfball.

We Look Forward To Welcoming You To Nomads!

Congratulations to Alex Bell for making the England Under 19's squad, Ollie Bell for his selection in the England Under 16's Squad and also to Emma Carswell and James Brice for their selection in the England Academy squad!

Come On You Reds!

Whilst certain website editors were off making a nuisance of themselves at a festival, the junior contingent of Nomads were competing at National Youth Day, the largest junior tournament in the Korfball calendar and a chance to put all they've learnt this year into action.

Nomads picked up some solid results with the highlight being the Under 16's triumph in their age group, finishing in first place. This is a win that bodes well for the future of the club, with many members of that squad already making an impact at senior level over the last few seasons.

The Under 13's and Under 9's put in strong performances too, the Under 13's finishing fifth and the Under 9's finished 8th out of a twenty team competition.

Congratulations and thanks to all the players, coaches and parents who have worked so hard this year and in the years before to give us such a pleasing set of results in National competition.

One only has to look at the number of former Nomads juniors in our Squad set up (even the coach!) to see the value and benefit of this hard work.

COME ON YOU REDS!

Please remember to vote for the potential social ideas that have been posted on the forums.
