Day 20 - Bondi Beach Korfball!

If you want to make something big about korfball, you should probably adapt the sport to the countrystyle. We are from Europe and to be honoust, there is do much potential in down-under. We saw schools, most of them private, with jealous-making sporthalls and playing grounds.

Most of the kids play 34 sports, so they do not only prepare for ball sports but are skilled in martial arts, swimming and running. Australia is well known for its AFL. AFL-style korfball would be really interesting to get blokes active on the korf. To be seen and get the real exposur beach korfball can not been played elsewhere than atthe world famous Bondi Beach. So that is where our Australian Korfball Promotour went today. On a partly clouded morning we went out to play the game. 

No Scheveningen, Ouddorp, no Aalsmeer or De Dam. The place to be on Saturday 13 July: Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia.

Just a couple of sandwiches away we took the bus and went for an open clubtraining. Together with some players from the Sydney Redbacks we trained a couple of skillful netball players. 

The training ended with a 2x 10 minute exhibition match followed by 3x 10 minutes mixed game where trainers from the European Promoteam played together with the local community.

Finished by a decent Thai meal and a group of players waiting for the bus to arrive. Heading to our last day of korfball tomorrow!
