Who Are We?
Cardiff University Korfball Club currently runs two competitive teams, but in the 2023/24 season, we had three teams representing Cardiff in BUCS:
- Our second team became Southern BUCS Champions after winning the first round!
- Our first team competed at the National Korfball Trophy in Manchester, representing Cardiff at the highest level.
- We've also been Welsh Cup Champions back-to-back in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons and have just won the Welsh Plate in the 2024/25 season.

What is Korfball?
Never heard of it? You're not alone! Most of our players had never played before joining - we welcome all abilities.
Korfball is a mixed-gender, fast-paced, and highly tactical team sport - and no, it's not netball.
- Teams: 8 players (4 men, 4 women)
- Court: Split into attack and defence zones, with players switching roles after every two goals
- Scoring: Baskets are 3.5m high, and you can even score from behind the post!
- Unique selling point: It's the only truly mixed team sport in the world

Korf Tour
One of the highlights of the year is our International Tour! In 2025, we travelled to Budapest and Slovakia for a week of sightseeing, partying and a bit of korfball too....
Korf Tour is many members' most memorable part of Korfball and University in general, it never disappoints.

Socials
From pub golf and mini golf to park runs and pancakes and club nights, our socials are legendary. We cater for all - whether you're up for dancing 'til 3 am or just fancy a chill night with good company.
Expect a packed calendar this year, including themed nights, trips and collaborations with other clubs!
