Welcome to Pacific Northwest (PNW) Beach Korfball

We play at beaches and sand volleyball courts around the Puget Sound region

and are proud to represent:

WHAT IS BEACH KORFBALL?!

• Korfball is the European cousin of Basketball with very similar rules

• "Korfball" means "Basketball" in Dutch!

• First played in the Netherlands in 1902 and has professional leagues

• It is played in nearly 70 countries

• Officially mixed-gendered/co-ed; each gender defends their own gender

• New, fast-growing beach variant is 4x4 full-court

• Beach korfball court is very similar in size to a beach volleyball court

• No dribbling, so lots of passing and teamwork!

• Hoop is 11.5 feet high and has no backboard

• Similar to FIBA 3x3, games are quick (only 12 minutes long)
