Korfball Promotion Showcases Its Appeal in Leshan City

On 6 January, Korfball made its way to Leshan City, Sichuan Province, with its unique charm and inclusive philosophy. The sport promotion followed the successful Travel with The World Games (TWG) series stop in Leshan, further enhancing the sport's presence in this city.

 

Events were held at the Leshan Sports Centre and Leshan Normal University, with participants from the Leshan Municipal Bureau of Sports, Leshan Normal University, and The Engineering and Technical College of Chengdu University of Technology.

 

 

During the event, instructors provided insights into the origins, principles, and values of Korfball, alongside its basic techniques and rules. Participants gained a clear understanding of the sport's history, spirit, and tactical approaches.

 

In the practical sessions, instructors demonstrated essential skills such as shooting, cutting, dodging, and defensive skills, captivating attendees with their precision and expertise. They also simplified rules, including scoring criteria and foul definitions, making the game more accessible to new enthusiasts.

 

 

This promotional event successfully brought Korfball into the public eye in Leshan, sparking interest and encouraging more participation. As an official sport of TWG 2025 in Chengdu, Korfball is set to take place this August at Xinglong Lake Beach Arena for Korfball (Beach) and Longquan High School Gymnasium for Korfball (Indoor).

 

Let's look forward to experiencing the excitement and inclusivity of Korfball as it takes centre stage, inspiring more people to embrace its unique appeal.
