Who Are We?
Cardiff University Korfball Club currently runs two competitive teams, but in previous years we've had upto four teams representing Cardiff in BUCS:
- Our first team has competed at the National Korfball Championships (BUCS) in Manchester, representing Cardiff at the highest level.
- Previous years has seen our second team take the Southern BUCS Champion title after winning the first round.
- We've also been Welsh Plate Champions back-to-back in the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons.
- Last year saw us take the Welsh Varsity title with a huge win against Swansea!

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 2026 we travelled to Bucharest for a week of sightseeing and partying, previous years have seen trips to Budapest and Slovakia where korfballs been played too! We plan the trip each year based of what everyone fancies!
Korf Tour is many members' most memorable part of Korfball and University in general, it never disappoints.
