Membership

Korfball is a great social way to keep fit and we’re always looking for new members. After your first month free training sessions the costs are as follows:

Cost: £22 per month

Included in the monthly membership fee:

Training: Twice a week, except July which is the rest month.

Games: During the league season there is usually at least 1 game per weekend, with the occasional rest week.

Summer Tournaments: As the summer is the Korfball off season, clubs around the country organise outdoor tournaments. The club normally enters at least 2 of these per year.

Bristol Summer League: There are many clubs in the Bristol area, and to keep clubs practicing during the summer an unofficial Bristol friendly league is run. This gives us approximately 5 weeks of playing shortened games, against local teams.

As well as all of that there are plenty of social occasions to join in with, these will not be included in the monthly membership fee but the activities vary from simple pub trips to more adventurous activities.

Teams

There is currently one team within Bristol Hornets Korfball Club. Over previous years we have had numerous teams, with both the 1st and 2nd teams having won multiple league titles.

Bristol Hornets 1 – South West Korfball Association – Division 2
Hornets 1 are currently playing in local league SWKA 2. Their aim is to finish in the top 3 and fight for promotion to SWKA 1.

Korfball in Bristol

Bristol Hornets Korfball Club were one of the first Bristol korfball teams. Originally created as Horfield Korfball Club, the club now trains at Shaftesbury Park and The City Academy.

The amount of korfball being played in Bristol has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. With originally only a handful of Bristol korfball teams, Bristol now has 4 clubs, with over 10 teams between them.

Watch the video below to get a taste of what korfball in Bristol is like. Korfball is a fun, fast and completely mixed sport, with 4 men and 4 women per team. This naturally leads to it being a very sociable sport. It’s ideal to play if you want to keep fit, have a bit of friendly competition and take part in various social activities, the most common of which is a good old fashioned trip to the pub.
