High-quality braces and support for korfball
During korfball, your joints endure a lot of strain. Proper braces and support are therefore essential for anyone who wants to play injury-free and perform at their best. The right brace not only helps prevent new injuries but also supports recovery from previous ones, enabling you to return to the court faster and more safely. We offer a wide range of braces and support products, specially selected for korfball players of all levels. Whether you’re dealing with a sensitive joint or looking to prevent injuries, you'll always find a suitable solution with us.
Why braces are important in korfball
Korfball requires rapid pivots, explosive sprints and high jumps, each putting pressure on your joints in different ways. Sudden changes in direction and landing after a jump are moments when injuries can occur. Ankles, knees and wrists are especially vulnerable. A quality brace offers the right support and reduces the risk of sprains, strains and overuse injuries. By stabilising your joints, you stay free and confident in every move. This way, you can play longer and safer while performing at your best.
The right brace for every korfball player
Every korfball player has different needs when it comes to braces and support. These depend on personal preferences, movement patterns and any injury history. Some players benefit most from extra ankle stability while others specifically choose back support to strengthen their core. Our range includes braces for virtually every body part that experiences stress during korfball. This ensures you always have the right protection tailored to your body and playing style.
Ankle braces: stability for quick movements
Agility is key in korfball. An ankle brace provides just the right support during sudden direction changes and jumps. There are various types of ankle braces available. They range from light wraps that offer compression to fully stabilising models with reinforcements. Lightweight ankle braces are ideal for minor irritation or preventive support. Firmer models are perfect after a sprain or when dealing with instability issues. By firmly enclosing the ankle, these braces help prevent injuries while maintaining your freedom of movement as much as possible.
Knee braces: protection during intense matches
Your knees absorb significant impact during korfball, especially when jumping or during physical challenges. Knee braces come in various forms, from light sleeves to structured designs with hinges. Players looking to relieve mild strain often opt for a soft compression brace. If you've had a torn ligament or feel instability, a reinforced knee brace is a smart choice. The right support not only helps reduce pain but also lets you continue playing with confidence.
Wrist and thumb braces: maintaining grip during ball control
Catching, throwing and defending all place considerable stress on your wrists and thumbs. Wrist and thumb braces help provide the support you need, without sacrificing the freedom required for good ball control. A wrist brace offers light to moderate support in the case of overuse or recovery from a sprain. Thumb braces support the base joint of the thumb, which is particularly vulnerable during falls or intense defensive play. This way, you maintain optimal grip on the ball, even if your strength is reduced.
Back braces: core support during play
A strong core is essential for explosiveness, balance and stability in every korfball movement. Back braces support the lower back and help relieve pressure on the spine during intense matches and training sessions. Players prone to back pain can keep moving safely by using a back brace, especially after heavy strain or a previous injury. These braces come in lighter versions for general support, as well as sturdier models that stabilise the mid and lower back during greater physical demands.

How to choose the right size brace
A properly fitting brace is vital for effective support and optimal comfort. A brace that's too tight can restrict circulation. One that’s too loose won’t provide sufficient support. Always measure the area carefully where the brace will be applied. This is usually just above or below a joint depending on the brace type. Then refer to the size chart linked to that product to find your best match. Keep in mind that sizing may vary by brand and model. If uncertain, feel free to consult a specialist.
Fitting and wearing your brace
When trying on a brace, it should fit snugly around your joint without creating pressure points. A good brace stabilises effectively but shouldn’t entirely restrict your range of motion. During extended use, check regularly for signs of irritation or pinching. Depending on your injury, you may need to wear a brace during matches, training or daily activities. Always inspect your brace for wear and tear. A worn-out brace offers reduced support and should be replaced in time.
Maintaining your braces and support
To keep your braces and support products working effectively for as long as possible, proper care is crucial. Clean your braces regularly by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap to remove sweat and dirt. Let them air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material degradation. When not in use, store them in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent mould. Regularly check for tears, looseness or signs of wear. These are indicators that it might be time to replace your brace.
Combining braces with other protective gear
In some cases, it can be helpful to combine braces with other protective tools to maximise effectiveness. Consider pairing an ankle brace with sports tape for extra stability during high-intensity matches. Compression wear can also support your muscles and enhance your warm-up. Just ensure that combining multiple supports remains comfortable and doesn’t limit your motion. Always choose solutions based on what your body needs to stay fit and injury-free.
