My day so far!
SO! today was quite active in terms of exercise.. again. I really should cut down on doing too much too fast - injury owns me today.
After having an awesome 2 hour Korfball Tournament in which we overcame our opponents 13-0 in the first match and 15-2 in the second, i get home for an hours rest and then straight back to the pitch for Hockey training.
What is Korfball you say?
Right. here goes.
Korfball is popular in Netherlands and Belgium especially. Chances are - without you being at uni and having a uni team (as is the case with a lot of other people ive asked) or me telling you =D you wouldnt have even heard of it!
It consists of 8 players per team with 4 girls and 4 guys.
The court (full size basketball court) is divided into half with 2 guys and 2 girls on each side. Still with me?
The aim of the game is to get your attacking side to score in the korf (basket) whilst every 2 goals onceded (for any team) results in a change of sides. Thus switching roles for both sides i.e. attacking or defending.
Whilst many people end up judging a book by its cover (when i end up describing it sort of like netball.. which is probably my fault haha) it is actually a very skillful/fast paced and physically demanding sport. Your reaction times will be tested and you will really need to broaden your perceptions in order to see/predict what is about to go down!
Check out a short video to see what i mean.
After having looked up more Korfall after a few practices I really enjoyed the skill of this guy Leon Simmons. His awareness and reflexes are bare none !
Anyway. Enough of my obsession for my newly acquired sport.
I'll get back to White Chicks and hit the hay as tommorow is another day and I shall be reporting more randomness soon!
"Once you go black, you gon' need a wheelchair!" hahahaha
Goodnight y'all!
