1st KORFBALL activity ever in Switzerland!!

Last Wednesday the 1st of October, we were able to organise a bit of Korfball practice in the Lausanne area.

The winning team : the GREENS!!!

This was with a group of Nestlé employees (from NBS Global), and it was part of the team building event involving several activities that NBS organized in a school at Colombier (Vaud).

A group of 25 Nestlé employees practiced korfball for the first time, after receiving some basic explanations from Marta and Arnau Albà. The activity was very simple: in groups of 8 or 9, they would come to the korfball "pitch", receive some 5 minute instructions, do 5 minutes of shooting practice as a warm up supervised by Arnau and Marta, and then...., straight to play a short 15-20 minute match !



The sport generated interest, because it was completely new to everybody, and we could certainly see two types of future opportunities:

- 1st step for the creation of the NBS team: some of the participants enjoyed the sport and requested to participate in future activities when we organise them.

- We made some contacts which will maybe open a door for more korfball possibilities in a local school: one of the participants will suggest this activity to his childrens' school, and Marta will try to organise some sort of presentation there.



Great defence!!
But now ... defending the wrong opponent!!



Practicing a penalty. Are you ready to take the rebound??
