Attentions must be drawn to a couple of websites that may be of use to you. There's the Korfball Forums which (with a big health warning) can provide a fest of info on what's going on in korfball in both the UK and around the globe. However, you do have to weed through the belly-aching whining and essays that people in the UK particularly feel they need to scribe (worth checking out just to see what some people get up to in the wee small hours of the morning!). The other is Korfball TV which shows some cracking play from the top level. Check them out.
