Scotland: Erwin Oosterhoorn, son of our Cees who is on the mend, has lived for years in Scotland, in Dundee, to be exact and he has since contributed to the creation of DKC, the Dundee Korfball Club, who immediately started enthusiastically. They play in the Scottish league and recently organized the first tournament with six teams. A website should not be missed, of course, so if you want to know more click here. Because of its association with Erwin a forthcoming separate article can appear on our website. Besides, a bunch of students from Edinburgh University Korfball Club made ​​a perfect recruitment clip. That you have to see, click here!

OK, I have roughly translated this to make it easier to read. I have since sent an article over but want to sent a detailed report of the tournament to see if there is anyone that is interested in coming over next year.

In the blistering sun we had a fantastic first tournament, as you can see on the photo’s. A total of 6 teams battled it out for this years trophy, and I think I can say that we all had a good time.

More about the tournament will follow, please let me know some of your comments of this day!

Plans are coming together nicely for our inaugural Summer Tournament (Sunday, May 27, 2012). We have a total of 6 teams entered, so we’ve opted for a simple round-robin format: each team will play every other team once in a series of 30-minute matches in Dawson Park (DD5 1PJ). Start time is 11am, last game ends at 4:30pm. And the best news of all? Dundee have enough players for 2 teams! See the preliminary DundeeDay 2012 schedule (PDF) for more details.

This Saturday (21 April) is the Final of the Dutch Korfball and you can watch it on your computer.
The following information is available on this:
Korfball enthusiasts from all around the world can see the Dutch korfball final played Saturday 21 April LIVE on the Internet by going to the link http://www.korfbaltv.nl and select the button “Finals AHOY”.
The Dutch final will be live broadcasted with an English commentator. Starting time 1900 PM (UTC+1 time zone).
The IKF and KNKV cooperate in this event. Mr Tom Brady will be the English commentator. We will have a co commentator as well; who? Watch it and listen.

The Dutch indoor korfball finals will be contested on Saturday 21 April 2012 in AHOY stadium, the major indoor sportsvenue in Rotterdam. The following matches will play:

* 1400 PM – U19 play off for 1st/2nd place : Dalto – PKC/Hagero
* 1630 PM – seniors play off for 3rd /4th place : Blauw Wit (Amsterdam) – Fortuna/MHIR
* 1900 PM – seniors play off for 1st/2nd place : Koog Zaandijk/Hiltex – PKC/Hagero with referee Alle Visser

The Senior team is the team that I (Erwin) played for as a Junior, but I did never reach the level that they have achieved (unfortunately :-))

Have fun and watch a High level game, discussions on Sunday and at the next training session.

Training update: new time & place, as of 19/4/12

Well, the season is over, and FINALLY there are a few sports-hall slots opening up that will allow us to go back to mid-week training sessions. The best one that we’ve come across for most people is from 6:30pm to 8:00pm every Thursday evening. This is at the Ardler Complex (Turnberry Avenue, Dundee, DD2 3TP).

There is also the possibility for us to start a junior section up at Ardler immediately before the adults train, and we are really keen to make this happen. If anybody knows of any young people that would be interested in learning to play korfball, please let Nigel know asap – the most likely time for this would be 5:30pm – 6:30pm on Thursday evenings.

The first Thursday evening training session for adults will be on April 19th.

End of season party, awards and AGM (5/5/12)

An evening to relax, to reflect on progress in year 1, and to make plans for year 2 of Dundee Korfball Club. We may well have a few drinks (to celebrate, of course), and perhaps the odd party game or two, but the main features of the evening will be electing a new committee (always helped by a few drinks), and handing out our first year’s club awards. Start time 6:30pm, end time to suit. Hopefully the AGM will be all over and done within an hour, and then the party can take over (maybe even a BBQ if the weather is nice). Further details from Nigel or Mary, who will be hosting in sunny Auchterhouse.

Please let us know if you would be interested on being on the committee even if you can’t make it to the party/AGM: posts to fill will include chair, secretary, treasurer, social sec, development officer and coaching coordinator.
