About Guildford Thunder

Guildford Thunder Korfball Club was started in 2014. This year we moved our training and match venue to The Charterhouse Club where we hold our weekly training sessions. 
​
Lead by the brilliant coach Zu, Guildford Thunder has over twenty regular members, the majority of whom had never played or even heard of this arguably bizarre sport. Guildford Thunder currently have two teams entered and playing in the Oxford Korfball League division 2 and 3 south.  It's not just about the sport though; we are an extremely friendly and welcoming team with many social events to get involved in too! Joining us will give an insight to a perhaps new sport and will be a great way to meet new people and build new friendships.

Come and give Korfball a try!

What is Korfball?

Korfball was invented in 1902 by Dutch PE teacher Nico Broekhuysen. Korf is Dutch for basket. It is an adaptation of the Swedish game, ringboll, which itself shares lineage with both basketball and netball. It is the only mixed-sex team sport recognised by the International Olympic Committee.

​It has been in the Olympics twice – 1920 and 1928 – but is on the list of approved sports which could be included in future games ! Initially only popular in the Netherlands and Belgium, it drew criticism from social conservatives for promoting loose morals (but it’s not the only reason we love the sport).
