Korfball star off to Spain

After jetting off to China for last year's Korfball World Championship, local sport star Nomphelo Stuurman will once again be going overseas to represent SA at this year's U23 World Korfball Championship.

After jetting off to China for last year's Korfball World Championship, local sport star Nomphelo Stuurman will once again be going overseas to represent SA at this year's U23 World Korfball Championship.

Stuurman leaves for Pretoria this week where she will join the rest of the South African side for a training camp from 7-9 September. This is the third training camp held in preparation for the U23 world champs, but the first as the reduced team.

This year the International Korfball Federation (IKF) U23 world champs will take place in Barcelona, Spain from 13-20 October. Like the world champs, the U23 world champs is held every four years.

Last year Stuurman was part of the senior SA team that went to Shaoxing, China, to compete against 15 other countries. The Netherlands took the world champs title and South Africa came last.

Korfball is a sport that combines netball and basketball and sees seven men and seven women play together on a side. Stuurman began playing korfball in 2010 after being invited to a korfball workshop in Pretoria.

While she had never played the sport before, she took part in the demonstrations and was snapped up by korfball scouts and hasn't looked back since.
