Korfball Ball Size 3

Korfball size 3: the ideal ball for young players

Korfball balls in size 3 are specially designed for young players in the Kangoeroeklup and F-youth, up to around 8 years old. At this age, the focus is on motor skill development, understanding of the game, and above all having fun. A size 3 ball is smaller and lighter than other sizes, allowing young players to better learn how to throw, catch, and aim. On this page, we show you which size 3 korfballs are available and what to look out for when choosing the right ball for training or matches.

Which age group is size 3 suitable for?

Korfball size 3 is intended for the youngest players, specifically children up to 8 years old. These children train and play in the Kangoeroes or F-youth. The size and weight of the ball are tailored to their physical development. The lighter ball helps young players learn proper technique and throw and catch with confidence. This makes the game much more accessible and helps prevent unnecessary strain on muscles and joints.

What makes a good korfball size 3?

A good korfball size 3 can be recognized by the right characteristics. These include a circumference of about 59 to 60 cm and a weight between 250 and 300 grams. The material should be durable but not too stiff for young hands. Many balls in this category feature a textured surface for extra grip, making it easier to catch and throw. For children, this has a direct impact on their confidence during play and contributes to a positive sports experience.

Training vs. match balls

A size 3 training ball is often made from wear-resistant material and is just a little heavier or has a different structure to withstand the rigors of training. Size 3 match balls meet fixed size and weight standards, offering precise finish and better grip for competitions. For clubs and parents, it's useful to have both types available depending on how often the ball is used and for what purpose.

Choose the right korfball size 3 for your needs

When choosing a ball, consider the difference between indoor and outdoor training. For outdoor use, a ball with water-resistant material and extra durable finish is a smart choice. If a child is just starting with korfball, then a lighter and softer ball is often more comfortable to begin with. Those who train or play more frequently benefit from a ball with a strong grip and good shape retention. Coaches and parents should choose a ball that matches the intensity of the young player's activity and the surface they play on.
