Ways you can play

Athletic Union (AU)
Loughborough Students’ Korfball Club welcomes all abilities and focuses on developing skills in a friendly, mixed-gender environment.
Teams consist of four men and four women, rotating between attack and defence every two goals. Played on an indoor court, the aim is to score in the Korf while staying free from defenders.
Training sessions are held twice a week, with additional invite-only team practice and matches on Sundays.
The club combines competitive play with a supportive social atmosphere, giving members the chance to improve, compete, and have fun together.

Joining the AU team is done at the start of the year during Freshers, where you can meet the coaches.
