There is no need for additional equipment, however particular leagues will almost definitely demand teams to wear an appropriate strip and training shoes. Korfball's scoring system is simple, which contributes to the game's quick speed. When the ball is hurled past the opposing net, a goal is scored. There are three main types of Korfball nets: A standard net is made of mesh wire and can be used by both men's and women's teams. They usually measure between 30 and 36 inches high and 60 feet in length. The poles that support the netting are usually between 3 and 4 feet tall. Standard nets can be easily transported and set up on any flat surface. A hybrid net uses metal posts instead of wooden ones, and is designed only for men's games. These nets are often called "chicken-wire" nets because they look like they would be easy for young children to climb. They usually measure around 38 inches high and 65 feet long. The post spacing varies but usually measures about 20 inches center to center. These nets are more expensive than standard ones but last longer since there's less chance of them being damaged by falling objects. A girls' net uses special pins instead of nails to attach the net to the ground, and is therefore suitable for soft surfaces such as grass or soil. These nets are usually about 28 inches high and 60 feet long, with 4-6 inch poles supporting the netting.
