Commonly asked questions/comments that I'm now going to answer in bulk: 1) You cannot dunk the ball - as you are not allowed to touch the korf or post during play. 2) Yes, Korfball is a thing and yes people choose to play it over basketball. Get over it. 3) Saying 'Lebron' and 'Steph' would kill these guys at their own game, is like saying Conor McGregor beating Floyd Mayweather at boxing. How did that work out again?

[@balenciagacrocs7155]

Ninh Ly uuhhh but LeBron is an athletic freaks who are 6'8.

[@NinhLyUK]

Physical attributes aside, but can Lebron beat a pro in a completely different sport he's never played in? Interesting experiment, but doubtful.

[@WUNNALEVEN]

Ninh Ly it would be a little foolish to think that someone like curry wouldn't excel at getting the ball through that hoop

[@NinhLyUK]

+Lord Kami - Different size and weight ball, different diameter hoop, different height of hoop, different game altogether.

[@PoTommyPo]

Ninh Ly True, saying that is pretty disrespectful to the players who train very hard for the sport they love. I do think that many top NBA players could be below average to average when they start playing though

[@mennoberga4133]

The sport has also been rapidly evolving over the past years, you can now swap players 8 times, you can swap the same players in and out of the game and a 25-second shot clock was added. There's this event called the Korfball Challenge each year between Christmas and New Year's, where new rules are tested annualy.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, I believe so.

[@thedobeymaster2647]

I think this is the first time I've ever seen a mix gendered sport where the gender becomes an element of strategy and play making. Very interesting!!!!!

A lot of people haven't, but people still play and watch it.

[@frontrowviews]

It’s mostly played in north-western Europe i.e. UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, chech republic, etc. It’s been getting increasingly popular in Asia, Oceania and Africa, with China, Australia, South-Africa, Taiwan and Suriname getting better and better each world games

[@tylersmith3139]

​@@frontrowviews "Increasingly popular in Africa" Having a few players in one country on an entire continent is not "increasingly popular in Africa". At least say increasingly popular in South Africa which isn't even true because most South Africans don't even know the sport exists.

[@tiamta]

this seems like a soft game developed at a very PC school that is super inclusive and safe. It looks fun, but overly pillowy.

[@NinhLyUK]

Read the top comment.

[@Velocity1]

Ninh Ly it’s not a bad point. The sport tries way to hard to make everything equal

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

Yes I think I agree, although i think its a pretty old game like 1900's of something. plus it's far too long at 30 minutes per half especially when you have to keep moving the ball quickly. I think 3 thirds of 15 minutes with a 2 minute break in between would be better.

[@millertimeast]

Lol are you one of those people that’s hates golf or tennis and what not because it’s a “nerd” sport or it’s to pillowy there isn’t contact in it? When in reality if people like you went to actually try the sport and sucked because it’s actually really difficult, if just laugh as you embarrass yourself

[@Velocity1]

Miller TimeEast no, my favourite sport is volleyball, where I have played 2 levels above my age group, with multiple awards. I played tennis for my school team where we placed 2nd our area. You are probably the guy who doesn’t play sports because he can’t catch a ball…

[@ruben.m.engelbrecht]

After rewatching this for the 10th time I noticed one thing you missed. So, for all the people that want to play korfball, here it is: As Ninh explains, there are several conditions that you need to validate on in order for your defending to be valid. There is one left out in this video: your feet need to be on the ground. Some people don't know this (heck, a lot don't) but it's a rule. You can jump while defending, you'll never get the ball when the shot goes through.

[@bluerider806]

This looks mad. Love everything about looks way more fast paced than normal sports. Is equal in male and female participation. 10/10 great video

[@NinhLyUK]

[@paytonhughes8769]

It sounds like they’d beat them until you realize that you can’t shoot once you’re defended which seems stupid to me

[@meikeolthof8547]

People always say this is like a soft sport but in the netherlands Korfball is in the top 3 sports that cause the most injuries, mostly because it is quite physical especially on higher levels

[@louisa7042]

There's one major thing you forgot to tell, I used to play korfball and half of the season in spring, summer and sometimes in autumn as well korfball is played outdoors on (fake)grass (like hockey). Depending on the wether not all countries are able to play outside.

[@NinhLyUK]

+Louisa van den Brink As you can imagine, I can't explain every rule, variation or change about Korfball in the space of 4 minutes. Yes, I'm fully aware that it can be played outdoors. But a total beginner who wants to know the rules, doesn't necessarily need to know that. Thanks for your input, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Im Dutch, and play Korball. Its much more fun and a lot harder than what it looks like, since you're cknstantly on the move, and you need to keep an eye on An average 4 people at once.

[@nalandatendar4212]

It is much nicer to do than to watch! I played my last game about 25 years ago and still miss the game and dynamics. You have to be a quite allround athletic to play on a high level in the Netherlands, Belgium and a few other countries. There come quite some relationships from being member of korfball clubs, and quite some children are grateful that this game exists otherwise it would have been quite unlikely that they were born. My experience is that korfball players are more used to deal in a natural appreciative way with the other gender than team sporters who do their sport only with their own gender.

[@kfredo1260]

For people who are saying basketball players would kill this game, that korf is literally a double rim with no net. Absolute hell on earth. Mad respect to these players for being able to shoot on it

[@geauxtigermf]

So you're saying that just because the rim has no net and is "double" in size, that a basketball person couldn't do it? You have no idea about inner city BB in the US. Grew up playing on netless rims and a lot of playgrounds have double rims on them. Maybe an adjustment, but If you can shoot, you can shoot.

Most politically correct sport ever

[@NinhLyUK]

I'm sure that's not the reason why this sport was created, but you're probably right.

[@faramund9865]

Not at all. The sport recognizes the physical inferiority of women. But still allows them to play together through this set of rules. It's good fun.

[@stsk7]

Dib you just proved it. Why would they segregate genders within the game, to make everybody feel good? The true potential of the game is then not being realized.

[@benjaminalexander8836]

Ninh please make a video difference between cricket and baseball if you don't mind since your way of explaining is easier to understand and you have deep knowledge of both the sports.

[@NinhLyUK]

The differences are fairly explanatory kinda like chalk and cheese. I don't think a separate video is required.

[@baxtertothemax]

what if you shake the hoop so the ball misses??? also there are so many idiots getting triggered over the idea of men and women playing a sports game together so saddddd

[@NinhLyUK]

You cannot touch the Korf or the post. This would be illegal. And I agree .. it is sad that many people are irked by women playing the same sport as men. I find it oddly disturbing.

[@faramund9865]

Yup that's actually foul play and you will get a free pass or maybe even a penalty, not sure.

[@zachhyman7148]

This sport makes Golf look like fun!

[@ZBTEproductions]

I think this is a refreshing twist on the basketball premise. The strategy and playmaking to get a clear unguarded shot looks to be very interesting.

[@NinhLyUK]

It's certainly a different dynamic to standard basketball. Everyone assumes that it plays the same, but are shocked to find that it's totally different.

[@TajiriOli]

Exactly the video I was looking for! THanks!

[@lucasleturia6886]

This seems like a SJW designed sport

[@NinhLyUK]

Lucas Leturia Kind of, although the premise of gender and role equal is actually quite refreshing. It takes some getting used to certainly, but I can see its appeal. Be sure to help me out by sharing this video :)

[@lucasleturia6886]

I like the idea of a game played by men and women on the same team, what I don't like is the only same sex marking. Do they want to pretend we are equal or not? Anyways, I've told all of my american friends who want to get into "soccer" about your channel, but I don't know where I could post it like massively

[@NinhLyUK]

Lucas Leturia I dunno, I think it levels the playing field a little bit - so I don't have a problem with same gender marking. It looks a little strange if you've never played by these rules before. As for sharing, if you have Facebook / Twitter, just use the links below the video and it does it all for you! Thanks again :)

[@lsshvs8415]

Why? Because women get to play allongside men?

[@ruben.m.engelbrecht]

+Tariq Amirs "But as far as I am concerned, women are biologically are in some percentage weaker than men," and that is exactly why men in most cases don't get to defend woman. They are physically stronger than woman which would make the game unplayable for them. Further more, korfball has a wide variety of roles. The coach always makes sure the men take the roles that are more physical (like being the rebound under the korf) and the woman the less physical ones. That's why woman are a lot of the times deadly with short distant shots.

[@NinhLyUK]

+NeverTrustAnAtom Believe it or not, it's one of the oldest forms of soccer! The idea of the game is for your team to get a ball and push it into your opponents back wall BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. This includes wrestling, punching, kicking and basically anything you can think of. You can't double team somebody, but anything else is basically legal. Makes Korfball look sane, right?!

[@shilpikhurana9326]

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad this video helped!

[@01cybermen]

When it comes to marking an opponent (especially when defending) does that mean u have to mark the same person throughout the whole time u play or can u switch to whoever else has the ball as long as only one person is marking/defending against them?

[@NinhLyUK]

I believe you can switch, though you have to mark a person of the same gender. I think for the sake of familiarity, you generally mark the same person all game.

[@ErwinOosterhoorn]

Yes, you can 'switch' to the other person during the game. You can see that in the video a few times when they try to run past the defender, and quickly places the ball to the other attacker. As mentioned, it has to be the same gender.

[@Jamm3z133]

As someone who had to change from playing basketball to korfball at college level due to a spine injury preventing me from being able to play contact sports, although a lot of skills are transferable like basic ball handling skills and pressure on defence, you still need to develop new skills to be competitive. Also, suggesting that because women play that it stops it being competitive is just backwards, having both genders on court and having rules that stop playing against the opposite gender actually creates new situations in game and makes things fair. You could claim it has a lot of arbitrary rules, but so does every sport. EVERY rule in a sport or game is arbitrary, it doesn't make the rules worse or stupid.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes exactly! I couldn't have said that better myself. So many narrowminded haters on here - I don't know if they honestly think that stuff or whether they're trying to get a rise out of people, but if the world really is that hateful - then we're all in trouble. Thanks for commenting.

And it is highly disrespectful to Korfball player suggest that a Basketball player would be great in this sports when you have no basis to say that other than thinking this sports is similar to basketball.

wait u get to shoot a layup from a foul? lol thats awesome

[@NinhLyUK]

+Tom Carney Pretty much - it's the easiest and most guaranteed way to score from a penalty. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

[@MaxWa]

You can't place the foot in front of the penalty spot. Technically you could use the same technique in basketball, as long as you release the ball before you land :)

[@seaFounder]

Never heard of this sport until now.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Predominantly played in select European countries, but a great co-ed sport to play. Thanks for stopping by, check out some of my other vids! :)

[@sokota6861]

You guys seem to hate when both genres can do things at the same time and scream "muh SJW!!1!!1!". Grow up lol

[@NinhLyUK]

Agreed!

[@tomkadota4282]

Can you make a video explaining DBL Ball rules? I'm not sure if they have to be "big" sports for you to make a video about it though!

[@NinhLyUK]

I have no idea what DBL Ball is?!

[@cmacdhon]

"Korfball" sounds like something a dog or cat might spit up.

[@NinhLyUK]

Interesting way of looking at it?

[@flodehennin7922]

are you at all familiar with the concept of the dutch language?

[@rithchristian7880]

Good job

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks Rith, much appreciated!

[@sarban1653]

I wanna play this sport so I can lift girls when we celebrate a win :P

[@NinhLyUK]

Interesting reason to play any sport!

[@araregoodguy]

It's closer to Netball than Basketball. Travelling is a pretty important rule and why I prefer Basketball.

[@NinhLyUK]

I think so. But each to their own in terms of personal preference.

[@PolochAngriff]

There’s a lot of people there, is this sport big?

[@NinhLyUK]

It's huge in the Netherlands, popular in Scandinavian countries, Germany, Denmark etc. And played very sparingly in England, France, Spain etc.

[@Riceball270]

It's also played in australia

[@wazxvicious75]

Ninh Ly even in japan people play it

[@ileriumole4422]

You are the best

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@deft548]

Bruh steph curry would be a god at this game😂

[@eesa_1980]

Looks fun, I’d love to play it with my daughters. But it just a slightly more versatile version of netball, or a much less athletic version of Basketball! Can’t imagine this sport gaining much traction in the mainstream sports world!

[@NinhLyUK]

Except that it's played internationally already. So ....

[@eesa_1980]

Ninh Ly lots of sports are played in more than one country, but are still relatively unknown and unpopular because, partly because they aren’t fun spectator sports. Netball, Bowls and of course, Korfball being a few of them!

[@jakewoods2893]

Did anybody hear his voice crack at 0:38 seconds when he said attacking zone

[@NinhLyUK]

Did you mention that before?

[@englandkorfball]

Fantastic video +NinhLyUK

[@NinhLyUK]

Hey +England Korfball, thank you so much for sharing this video on Facebook and Twitter! You have my express permission to use this video to teach others about this cool sport! Be sure to subscribe :)

[@nonamed8695]

just imagine someone dunked the hoop

[@daanbannink5065]

The Mobile Gamer /TBM i play korfball, the korf (hoop) is at a height of 3.5 metres, which even the best players can just touch

[@wtblack5]

Daan Bannink Dwight Howard dunked on a 12 ft (3.66 m) goal, so it can be done...

[@Woozie894]

*Harambe* Yep 6'11 7'3 wingspan with a 40 inch vertical

[@metroboomin4981]

Daan Bannink The best players in Korfball are trash. If talented atheletic players out there time into korf it would be game over

[@biggieols1079]

Many dutch people like me play this its fun 🤘

[@NinhLyUK]

I can imagine it's pretty cool to play. Thanks bro.

[@SavvySteak]

So.....I cant be flashy or the best at it because I would have to share the ball? Sounds like the WNBA.

[@NinhLyUK]

The WNBA is way worse.

[@jtjimenez05]

Video: explains rules Me: eurostep climbing post and dunking.

[@fancierstew048]

Wow people care more about korfball than bandy

[@NinhLyUK]

+Christian Villena It appears that way, doesn't it?!

[@aftrdashz6251]

Nice video!

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks man, much appreciated! Check out my channel for more videos like this :)

[@markobaraba3876]

[@NinhLyUK]

IT'S .... NOT.

[@landen3135]

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks bro - it's a cool sport to get into for sure.

[@mattstringer139]

PLEASE DO SQUASH!!!

[@NinhLyUK]

Matt Stringer Maybe if I get enough demand for it. Thanks.

[@christopherafowowe4067]

I am hearing for the first time, it seems to be interesting

[@marcusfranconium3392]

Its a bigger sport than one might realise , its played in 69 countries ,

[@hariavtar4693]

This is a incredibly confusing but really cool equality game.

[@ilikedooooooodes7963]

PawsDuhPup equality games don’t seem like a real sport to me

[@sandrarabanaldelcueto9528]
