Korfball, as strange as the name is, is a basketball-inspired sport that features teams with an even number of men and woman. The spine of basketball exists, but the basics are skewed. For example, the hoop is higher than a basketball hoop and has no backboard. Each team also consists of eight players on the court, four men, and four women. The sport originated in the Netherlands in 1902 and currently has over 100,000 players in Europe. These athletes are governed by an official korfball organization with regionally affiliated associations.

The only thing korfball is missing is dogs, something our next sport has plenty of.
