The goal of Korfball is to score by tossing the ball through the opposing basket. When a player receives the ball, he or she may not dribble, walk, or run with it, but may move one foot while keeping the other planted on the ground, like in netball. Korfball does not allow tackling, blocking, or holding. A player can pass the ball by throwing it from hand to hand while moving his or her feet. Yes, you can dribble in Korfball! While it is not recommended, it is possible to use your arm or leg to fake a shot and get open for a pass. Also, players often take off their shoes and wear sock-like devices called "slips" when playing to avoid being tracked by computer sensors used by officials to detect ball possession. Korfball uses a pass-and-shoot offense that requires players to be able to shoot and handle the ball at the same time. This is different from traditional basketball where you can only shoot with one hand or throw a pass with one leg. In fact, some courts will not let you shoot with one hand or throw with one leg out of fairness for teams who want to play that way. In general, boys' korfball games tend to have more shooting than girls' games because there are only seven players on a team instead of eight. Girls' teams usually have two guards, two wings, and one center. Boys' teams usually have one forward and six backs.
